many Hua Singaporian had troll here too much, I'm just wander that are you chinese or from other ethnic living in Singapore ?
Is it important?. Chinese members here never consider that when they bombarded me in the thread on Singapore Terrex Vehicles detained in Hong Kong. Its not a good feeling, but I just state my point and move on without being antagonistic.
any case, what china did in such reefs or propaganda for her construction is meaningless. Its showed of the true aggressive habitat of China. PCA ruling said that China doesn't have historic right with nine dashed claim in SCS. Occupation of China is illegal.
Based on your empty words or that Japanese arranged kangaroo 1-sided Tribunal. Suffice to say I am Singaporean, but I lean more towards Chinese views on the South China Sea. You see all these Chinese immigrants in the Philippines and South East Asia long ago (since 10th century?). Where are the Vietnamese?
Unless the Chinese travel in an underground tunnel, they must have stopped and used these South China Sea islands. Unlike the Imperial West, the Chinese focus on trade. They are just claiming uninhabited islands. They don't kill, colonize or enslave the locals even though they had a strong navy led by Zheng He, if the lands they visit are inhabited.
On the contrary, the Vietnamese are claiming lands that are forcefully stolen at gun point by the French. Consider yourselves lucky that you have China as your neighbor instead of India, seeing the way India annexed Sikkim, Goa, etc and how they bully Sri Lanka and Nepal. Of course it could be Vietnam giving them a lesson of their life seeing your performance against your colonists. But Vietnam did become colonized more than once whereas China's conquerors always rule as Chinese and became Chinese themselves. That says a lot about their cultural strength. Can you explain why India still have unresolved border issues with relatively friendly Myanmar. If not for the huge sacrifice by the Chinese fighting the Japanese to the end without surrendering, wonder how WW2 will turn out. It is commendable that China have resolved borders with nearly all their neighbors.
I have been watching these threads for many years as it's entertaining. I seldom feel the need to butt into your dispute except to give thanks for those wonderful pics. I am pissed off by those abrasive nationalistic Chinese, but so do all those newly rich but this time on a massive scale. Remember the phrase "ugly American", and Japanese sex tours. We were resented by the relatively poor Taiwanese when we 1st went there for military training.
Don't think the Pinoys support you, except for keyboard warriors, they don't. I hope China, Vietnam, SK, Japan and hopefully the Philippines will together show the West what Asians can achieve. Asians can be proud again with China leading the way. I remember those days when Japan is an also ran in the Olympics. I never thought Asians can reach such heights in international events until China came along. China made my day.
Pardon me if I am partial to China's views. My apologies, but I am open to being persuaded by you through FACTS, though this issue is not important to me, and I may not respond. Maybe I shouldn't have taken a dig at you and laughed at your expense. It will be helpful if you can write to your Gov to return Pugad Island to show that Vietnam is not greedy land grabbing.
Hope you can contribute towards this thread with interesting items instead of those old maps by murderous Imperial colonizers. People may think that you are so proud to be colonized. Thks
