It is hard to feel sorry for two communist countries having a border dispute.


Yes, but legitimate governments such as the be Philippines and Malaysia are also the subject of the CCP's imperial claims.


The Malaysian government is very far from legitimate.

It's run by the party who got dramatically voted out at the last election. Even their supporters call it a "backdoor" government.

The former PM who stole billions and was found guilty of all charges was sentenced to 12 years in prison yet still sits in Parliament while getting friendly media interviews, he gave a speech on the budget just the other day representing all of the backbench.

I always find the South China Sea discussions interesting because I'd love to hear who people actually think deserves ownership of it?

The Philippines is run by a proud mass murdering nutjob, Vietnam is China-lite, Brunei just tried to roll out the death penalty for gay people. Malaysia is steadily gaining more extreme Islamists in power who bizarrely blame the Jews for everything that goes wrong like it's a country run by 4chan.

Who exactly deserves all that oil and fish? It's none of the above in my opinion.


Not sure why you are attacking and trolling all the claimants to the SCS by ad hominem most of the governments involved except China?

Go and critically read history books/articles/etc my friend, not only by the colonial regimes namely Spain, British, Dutch and France that have plundered the countries that you have just mentioned, and what names these areas are collectively called (yes they have their names) few centuries back before the dark colonial era started.

After that you probably know to whom the oil and fish belongs since these people have been fishing there for centuries. Truth and facts really matter but not your random opinions.


Claims of ownership are often settled by strength and not by history. Alternatives present no real long term viability and are blind optimism.
