My gut tells me something is very suspicious about someone wanting to buy land facing the West Philippine Sea that can accomodate amd service big vessels, with convenient access to roads. Given the current geopolitical situation, I have a feeling the specifications are better suited for military application rather than commercial use.
Hsieh Ching-chin, Taiwan’s Coast Guard Deputy, has ordered Taiwanese ships to ignore Chinese boarding commands. Chinese assertion of authority has drawn condemnation from European offices based in Taiwan. China maintains the assertion of their authority over Taiwanese waters and rejects Taiwanese claims of sovereignty.
China ran paid ads on Facebook calling Japan "a saboteur of the ecological system" and "a polluter of the global marine environment" — over Fukushima wastewater that the IAEA confirmed was safe.
Those ads ran in English, German, and Khmer. No disclaimers. Designed to turn the world against Japan.
That same propaganda machine produced over 200 anti-Japanese war films a year. At one point, 70% of all Chinese TV dramas were about the war with Japan.
In September 2024, a 10-year-old Japanese schoolboy was stabbed to death walking to school in Shenzhen. It happened on the anniversary of Japan's invasion of Manchuria — a date China marks every year with sirens and calls to "never forget the humiliation."
The attacker was executed. China called it an "isolated incident."
But here's what makes this story even darker.
While China was using the platform to spread anti-Japan propaganda to the world — Meta was secretly building censorship tools FOR China.
A former executive named Sarah Wynn-Williams just revealed it all. She was the company's Director of Global Public Policy — a New Zealand diplomat and lawyer who spent six years briefing world leaders on its behalf.
She alleges the company built an "emergency switch" to cut off communication from Xinjiang, deleted Uyghur and Tibetan rights pages because China labeled them "terrorism," and deployed a surveillance tool in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
She filed a 78-page complaint with the SEC. She testified before the US Senate under oath. Her book hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. Meta sued to silence her. It backfired.
The US Senate opened a formal probe. Senator Chuck Grassley wrote directly to Zuckerberg demanding answers.
China used this platform to spread propaganda against Japan — propaganda that helped create the environment where a 10-year-old boy was stabbed to death.
And the company's response was to help China silence the people who spoke out against it.

China is painting itself as the leading nation in technology surpassing Japan and South Korea in innovation. A video of a smart car in Youtube will probably convince you of their rethoric but hold on. It might be a propaganda.
Wumaos online are going to convince you that China is the future and that continued defiance is a mistake as China is also painting itself as Asia's hope for the future. But all of it is wrong.

And one more thing; one can use this as a counter argument against a wumao.
china-india has higher chance of conflict than taiwan. it maybe change to two-front war as always the countries will keep their silence.
Hi guys, I have lived in Taiwan most of my life, and I honestly think Taiwan is an independent country. These are some points below:
Also, for ur info, people from China or HK are NOT allowed to go through the same lines as Taiwanese citizens at the immigration checkpoint.
Hopefully I won't offend any1 but I just feel like Reddit is where I can say some of my political ideas.What do yall think?
When one of their agents in Philippine politics is threatened to be removed from power - they immediately mobilize their machinery.
Bonus: Possible economic sabotage for who knows long.
The recent tragedy at San Jose National High School in Tacloban City where two students (aged 14 and 15) opened fire, killing 3 fellow students and wounding 13 others using a smuggled police weapon has shocked the country.
​
While investigators are pursuing a bullying-related grudge for the Tacloban shooting, the incident has thrown a massive spotlight on a broader, highly alarming campus security crisis that everyone, especially parents and older siblings, needs to be aware of.
​
The Philippine National Police (PNP) Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG) has explicitly warned that local minors are being actively targeted and groomed online to carry out real-world school violence.
​
This is no longer just an "isolated problem in Western countries."Here is what you need to know about the digital recruitment operations active in the Philippines:
​
The Roblox Radicalization PipelineThe PNP-ACG revealed during Senate hearings that foreign actors are using sandbox gaming platforms like Roblox to scout vulnerable local youth.The Process: Handlers meet minors in open gaming lobbies, build rapport, and quickly move them to unregulated, private chat servers.
​
The Content: Minors are subjected to extreme "nihilistic violent extremism." They are repeatedly exposed to graphic, real-world videos of mass school shootings, executions, and neo-Nazi propaganda.
​
The Directives: Handlers instruct the kids to source tactical gear, modify fire extinguishers to blind classmates, build Molotov cocktails, and acquire weapons.
​
🛑 Intercepted Plots & Fatal Cases Linked to GroomingThe Laguna Plot: The PNP foiled a massive plot by seven teenagers (aged 12 to 17) who planned to launch an explosive and arson attack on their school.
​
They were caught after a digital footprint check flagged a student posting "I will burn down my school" online.Past Unresolved Tragedies: The PNP-ACG revealed that fatal incidents such as a student shooting himself in Marikina and another Grade 12 student firing a gun in a Batangas classroom showed clear evidence of digital extremist grooming on their seized mobile gadgets.
​
What is Being Done Now?
​
Following the Tacloban mass shooting and these online grooming discoveries, President Marcos Jr. and the Department of Education (DepEd) have ordered an "all-out" security overhaul across Philippine schools.
​
Expect to see:Strict bag inspections and metal detectors at school gates.Heightened PNP patrol visibility around campuses.Heavy crackdowns on how firearms are stored in households (the Tacloban shooting weapon belonged to the suspect’s relative, an active policewoman).
​
🚨 Call to Action for the Community
​
Please look closely at what your younger siblings, cousins, or children are doing online. If they are playing Roblox or using Discord, check who they are talking to. Watch out for sudden changes in behavior, an fixation on school shooting history, or attempts to look up tactical gear.
​
If you spot any suspicious online recruitment or extremist grooming activity, report it directly to the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group:Globe: 0967-136-0322Smart: 0968-867-4302
