i always say to #wumao:
yes, it is time to right the wrongs of the #CenturyOfHumiliation
so rather than steal sandbars from the #philippines and glaciers from #india, how about actually reclaiming actual land of #china that was actually stolen by actual european colonizers:

a picture worth a thousand words
the troll and the target of the troll's malice

bullying, coercion, aggression
and desperation
china acting weak
The #ColdWar is over. " #PaxAmericana" is over
It's regional powers abusing their neighbors now
#Ukraine, #Georgia etc near #Russia
#Canada, #Venezuela etc near #USA
#Taiwan, #Philippines etc near #China
Here's an amazing bit of #diplomacy #drama on the point

7.8 magnitude earthquake shakes part of southern Philippines
A magnitude 7.8 earthquake shook part of the southern Philippines early Monday, causing damage in a key coastal city, knocking down power and sparking a tsunami warning on some regional coasts.
People were urged to go to higher ground. There were no immediate reports of casualties, and it was not clear if people were trapped or injured in the collapse of a small building in General Santos city. The coastal city of more than 700,000 people is a commercial hub on the island of Mindanao known for its tuna processing industry. #earthquake #Philippines

Folks - please keep the people of the Philippines in your thoughts. They’re going to have a rough night after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake an hour ago, and multiple 6.0+ aftershocks continuing (per chart below). For those trying to reach loved ones please be aware that telecommunications are pretty overloaded right now.
