I was just in China. Proof Pic attached. I saw a Chinese citizen get into a verbal altercation with a member of the government about a traffic light and they were cussing the whole government out in front of an official building. They definitely have free speech.
@JeanGreige It's embarassing how susceptible you are to really mediocre propaganda. You know people in china can't speak freely and the government lies constantly. Yet you choose to believe the best version of China promoted via propaganda. So Stupid.
I love filipino representations and im always here for them But can we atleast give our other fellow southeast asians a rep too?
Highlights from Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s interview with Bloomberg bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT MAY DRIVE PH, CHINA JOINT OIL AND GAS TALKS IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA President Bongbong Marcos says the Middle East conflict could push the Philippines and China to revisit joint oil and gas exploration in the South China Sea. In an interview with Bloomberg, Marcos says shifting geopolitical dynamics may prompt a recalibration of ties, while stressing that peace and national interest remain the country’s guiding principles. @newswatchplusph

PHILIPPINES-CHINA RESET? President Marcos raised the possibility that the US and Israeli war against Iran could provide an impetus for the Philippines and China to reach a deal in developing gas resources in disputed areas in the South China Sea. The Philippines and China are embroiled in a longstanding row over South China Sea areas that are within Manila's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and continental shelf. In 2016, a Hague-based arbitral court voided China's expansive claim in the South China Sea and affirmed the Philippines' sovereign rights over its EEZ. The Chinese government refused to recognize what it described as an "illegal" ruling. Despite the dispute, Marcos and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to resume discussions on oil and gas exploration in the South China Sea during a bilateral summit in 2023. "That’s something we’ve been talking about for a great deal, but territorial disputes are getting in the way of that. Maybe this provides impetus for both sides to come to an agreement. That’s something we are exploring. Everything that might be of help we are certainly pursuing," Marcos told Bloomberg News on Tuesday. When asked whether there is a reason to think that a reset in relations with China is needed given the geopolitical chaos, Marcos said: "I think it’s certainly going to happen; it’s happening now. There’s going to be a very, very serious restructuring." "I was watching Prime Minister (Lawrence) Wong from Singapore saying we will have to redraw all, even our legal relationships and international law. There will have to be a new normal,” he added. Marcos said he sees a "realignment" taking place "at first in the Middle East" and its effect would be on trade relations. "We also have to remember we have an enormous population in the Middle East. We have over two million Filipinos working in the Gulf countries and very seriously affected as well. One of our biggest sources of income is remittances we get not only from OFWs (overseas Filipino workers) in the Middle East but also around the world," he added. Marcos said other countries are honoring their contracts with the Philippines, citing its importation of fertilizer from Indonesia and China, refined fuel from Japan and South Korea and oil from Malaysia. The Philippines is also exploring possible fuel supply deals with China or Russia. "China, we always had a trading relationship with and that’s ongoing, and we are trying to increase that supply. Russia is not a traditional supplier of crude oil to the Philippines or any energy energy supply, but we are exploring that as well," the President said. "Basically, we are trying anything, everything to secure supply because that’s the one thing that we can do about. The pricing is going to be a much more difficult challenge because everyone is a price taker when it comes to oil," he added. | via @alexisbromero
