Weird. There’s a lot of anti China stories circulating this week. Like maybe they are trying to influence public opinion.
Our maybe China are just dodgy actors on the world stage and are getting fairly criticised?
Does China need consent from the population there or the world community?
No

Downvoted for countering media narratives. Thank you.
Well, if they could stop being assholes for five seconds maybe the torrent of news about it would stop
This news was actually recent and is still talked about locally in the Philippines.
That's cool and all but as a resident of the Philippines, China has been a pain in the ass since forever.
You know America’s been a pain in Philippines ass since 1899. They fought wars over it.
"but what about murca?" -people who have no other argument
Here’s an argument… Do you subscribe to Hegel’s dialectic of idealism, or Marx’s dialectic of materialism?
They are a pain, but nowadays it's more subtle, and people have grown to accept America somehow. But China is just grating, showing blatant disregard to the autonomy of Philippines as a country. There are many good reasons for us to be distrustful of the CCP. They are claiming lands within our maritime borders and building structures that only benefit them and are a major security concern for us.
I’m sorry your country has to deal with China and the US. It would be nice if other countries would just leave yours alone.
They being the posters, or the CCP?
