In a show of force, over 200 chinese ships entered Philippines waters to support Duterte

The presence of more than 200 suspected Chinese militia vessels at a disputed reef off the Philippines could be a prelude to violent clashes, according to a leading analyst who says the flotilla is only the latest example of the superpower tightening the noose in the world’s most contested waterway.

In the latest diplomatic flare-up over competing claims to the South China Sea, the Philippines has protested after its coastguard discovered the vessels moored at a boomerang-shaped reef that both nations claim.

That's an unusual way of showing 'support'.

A certain Chinese proverb comes to mind: 假途灭虢

We are very glad about this. Duterte is one of the greatest leaders you can find. He makes promises to his allies and breaks them regularly. He has, just like our Messiah Trump, murdered many in his own country including some children. We know he can kill more and we continue to support his efforts to jail his opponents, murder the press, and bring his country deeper into death, despair, and misery.

A man molded just like our Messiah Trump. God bless Duterte. May he kill more.
