It's a mess.
Nobody cares about me when my grandma is still fucking alive! That person who adored my grandma most, that same person who stole my drawings!
Who is calling me dumb? I am not dumb! I am not cheap!
My grandma tells a fucking annoying jokes! Like she told that parasite rapist that I am pregnant because I kept vomit because of that medicine of that disrespectful doctor who never treated us like family! I think my family have a lot of problematic issues! Toxicity will never be avoided, oh no not even a farting parasite rapist can’t avoided it!

Who Is 'Illegal, Coercive, Aggressive, Deceptive' In The South China Sea?
— Li Aixin in Singapore | June 01, 2024
Illustration: Liu Rui/Global Times
There are always two sides to every story. It is often your word against mine. Yet whenever conflicts arise between the two parties, it is inherent in human nature to sympathize with the weaker side. It is even more so when the weaker is shrieking with Bambi-eyed innocence.
In reality, the "innocent" could be the real aggressor. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. may have tried hard to portray himself and his administration as a knight, daring to charge to the forefront against an "illegal, coercive, aggressive, deceptive" giant, during his Friday opening speech of the ongoing Shangri-La Dialogue, but there is another side of the story, and the "illegal, coercive, aggressive, deceptive" character is the Philippines.
Marcos Jr. threw out a list of international treaties and domestic laws to prove Philippine ownership of disputed waters. Some of them exactly articulate that areas in the west of the 118 degrees east longitude do not belong to the Philippines. The 1898 Treaty of Paris, the 1900 Treaty of Washington and the 1930 Convention Between the United States and Great Britain can prove it. This was also reaffirmed by the Philippine Constitution in 1935.
Take a look at the islands and shoals for which the Philippines has been yelling there is no backing down. For instance, Huangyan Island - with coordinates about 117 degrees east longitude - is obviously outside Philippine territorial boundary. Ren'ai Jiao is located at 115 degrees east longitude, also outside. Guess who has been breaking the status quo to grab territories little by little outside its boundaries while crying China is being assertive.
On May 9, 1999, the Philippines sent BRP Sierra Madre, a military vessel, to intrude into China's Ren'ai Jiao (which the Philippines calls as the Second Thomas Shoal) and illegally ran it aground under the excuse of "technical difficulties." Many times the Philippines promised to tow away the vessel. However, in the past 25 years, Philippine politicians have conveniently turned a blind eye to this commitment.
Political Show! By Liu Rui, May 16 2024, Global Times
Even in the face of the illegal Philippine occupation of Ren'ai Jiao, China showed enough patience by allowing the supply of daily necessities to its grounded warship. This attitude is interpreted as China doesn't want to remove the hulk forcefully, and as the ship was rusty and breaking up, it will disintegrate and the problem will solve itself.
Manila does no think so and again broke the status quo through sending construction materials used for large-scale repair and reinforcement. This move compelled the China Coast Guard to take necessary law enforcement measures to safeguard its rights, and to maintain status quo.
And when the old tensions and disputes remain unresolved, the Philippines is eying creating new flashpoints.
Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) patrol ships have been stationed within the lagoon of Xianbin Jiao (also known as Sabina Shoal) for more than 45 days. It picked a convenient excuse - "to ensure China does not carry out reclamation activities" there. Yet even PCG spokesperson Jay Tarriela acknowledged that the Philippine side had not documented any activity from the Chinese vessels present in Xianbin Jiao since it deployed its vessel there in mid-April. Nevertheless, the semi-permanent floating platform has been deployed, which seems to be one step away from grounding on the shoal. Does the Philippines intend to replicate the "ship grounding tactic" on Xianbin Jiao, and on more South China Sea shoals?
The Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) establishes fundamental principles and norms of behavior, such as "the Parties concerned undertake to resolve their territorial and jurisdictional disputes by peaceful means, through friendly consultations and negotiations by sovereign states directly concerned." It also stipulates that "the Parties undertake to exercise self-restraint in the conduct of activities that would complicate or escalate disputes and affect peace and stability including, among others, refraining from action of inhabiting on the presently uninhabited islands, reefs, shoals, cays, and other features and to handle their differences in a constructive manner." Will Manila be the first country to violate the DOC?
Behind The Scenes! By Liu Rui, March 31 2024, Global Times
The "gentleman's agreement" to keep the "status quo" in the South China Sea was breached by Manila. The "new model" for handling resupply missions to the Philippine naval vessel BRP Sierra Madre was broken by the Philippine side. Even the Philippines' own scholars and ordinary people largely oppose Marcos Jr.'s successive provocative actions, as they gain no benefits from the resulting tensions. What's more, they are facing the erosion of previously established cooperative fishing benefits and a palpable decline in the sense of stability they once enjoyed.
However, thanks to the remarkable performance by the Philippines, Western narratives are able to sensationalize stories about China's alleged assertiveness. All they highlight is China's coast guard using water cannons against Philippine vessels, without delving deeper into the provocations that led to China's reactions.
The Philippines is feigning innocent, playing the role of a victim, expressing grievances, and subsequently making an appeal for peace - all of these actions craft an image of vulnerability seeking justice. Is that so? What if you are told that China has never used real force against the Philippines, but the Philippine coastguard has used force to kill innocent Chinese fishermen from the mainland and Taiwan island in 2000, 2006 and 2013? It can be easily googled.
So the question in the South China Sea is, shouldn't there be a universal standard when evaluating whether a country contributes to or disrupts peace and stability in the region, and whether one is "illegal, coercive, aggressive, or deceptive?"
Manila seems skilled at donning its own version of story. And Western countries fell for it. It does not mean the Philippines' version is the real truth.
Similarly, when Marcos Jr. was surrounded by a cluster of Western officials, having casual conversations, at the end of the opening ceremony of Shangri-La Dialogue, the authenticity of his popularity is also questionable. Do they genuinely regard Marcos Jr. as a superstar, or do they simply see him as another handy tool?

Malaysian PM’s Remarks Reveal US’ Self-Entertaining Hegemonic Diplomacy
— Global Times | February 26, 2024
Illustration:Xia Qing/Global Times
In Simple and Clear-Cut Remarks, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim told the US, Europe and a wider range of the World that the baton of American Hegemony is Failing - Washington is increasingly incapable of dictating the choices of other Countries.
"Anwar Ibrahim questioned why Malaysia would 'pick a quarrel' with China, its largest trading partner, in response to US criticisms of his country's ties with Beijing," Financial Times (FT) reported on Sunday. "Why must I be tied to one interest? I don't buy into this strong prejudice against China, this China-phobia," he said in an interview with the FT. In the same piece, Anwar is quoted as saying, "We are a small country struggling to survive in a Complex World … I want to focus on what is best for us."
The FT was attempting to induce Anwar to toss out an answer that is expected by the West, such as, Malaysia is siding with the US, or at the very least, Malaysian relationship with the US is strong and not influenced by China. Clearly, Beyond the West's Soap Bubble, the World is Very Different. To be straightforward, it is a proof that more and more countries are not buying into the US hegemony any longer.
Southeast Asia is very close to China and is a key region in the US' "Indo-Pacific Strategy." However, the US faces the greatest difficulty in isolating China in the region. In 2000, US trade with ASEAN was more than three times that of China-ASEAN trade. By 2020, China's trade was almost double that of the US. And today, China has become the largest trading partner of almost all ASEAN countries. Larger economies of ASEAN, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, are not willing to take sides. All of them hope to leverage the contradictions between China and the US to maximize their own interests.
Against this backdrop, US "Indo-Pacific Strategy" is now being mentioned less frequently by Americans, as it is increasingly clear this strategy is not working, Shen Yi, a Professor at Fudan University, told the Global Times.
Ganging up with partners and allies is a vital means for the US to maintain its hegemony. Traditionally, the alpha of a gang is supposed to take the lead when charging forward, while others follow and benefit from it. Yet when it comes to the current US hegemony, Washington pushes others to the forefront, exploiting them while having little to offer.
When tensions between China and the Philippines are escalating in the South China Sea, Manila has been facing warnings of a rice crisis. Has the US done anything to show strong support to the Philippines in this regard? No trace can be found in news coverage.
Malaysia is one of the most "Neutral" countries in ASEAN. It has a bitter memory of colonial aggression and the harm caused by the power games during the Cold War, it is thus very averse to great power competition and unwilling to take sides, Chen Xiangmiao, director of the World Navy Research Center at the National Institute for South China Sea Studies, told the Global Times.
Chen added that Anwar is sober toward the consequences of taking sides, which would jeopardize the overall relationship and interests with one of the two major powers, and could lead ASEAN to becoming a vassal state. There are 11 members in the bloc, each country has a different level of relationship with China and the US. Hence the outcome of being coerced to take sides could also likely lead to growing divergences in the region and even the disintegration of ASEAN. From whatever perspective, Anwar embodies a highly pragmatic attitude, protecting the interests of his country and ASEAN, and his remarks represent the mainstream position of ASEAN.
The vast majority of countries make diplomatic decisions based on their own national interests. If the US wants other countries to change their diplomacy, it must show them reasons for gains and losses. In recent years, the US has not ceased putting pressure on ASEAN, Which is Firmly on the Path of Neutrality and Non-Alignment, hoping to bring ASEAN into Washington's camp. But what benefits can the US offer ASEAN?
Remember the US-ASEAN Special Summit in Washington, DC in 2022? Leaders of ASEAN went all the way to the US, to hear the US announce an investment of $150 million for all the ASEAN member countries combined. What a Chicken Feed. In December 2023, Japanese media outlet The Asahi Shimbun reported that Anwar said that when he visited the US, he was asked Why Malaysia is Tilting Toward China. He replied, "Because They're Investing More."
China is committed to common development. It focuses on Baking the Cake Bigger for Win-Win Cooperation and Mutual Prosperity. Yet the US is busy launching Anti-China and Anti-Russia Campaigns, dividing the world into different camps, disrupting international cooperation, and demanding obedience from other countries, when all others want a peaceful international environment to develop.
The US no longer has the capability to play a dominant global role, in addition, there's no global environment to allow it to do so. Its hegemonic mentality and approaches are outdated. That's why we have witnessed French President Emmanuel Macron openly urging Europe to reduce its dependence on the US; an HSBC executive slamming "Weak" UK for backing the US against China; Africa and Latin America emphasizing the rise of the Global South; India, Japan, and South Korea adjusting their distance from China, trying to please the US for their own interests while making sure their ties with China won't deteriorate rapidly to turn themselves into a pure US pawn; and most recently, Anwar's criticism of China-phobia.
Only the feet know if the shoes fit. The US has been persuading other countries that cooperating with China is not the right shoes, but other countries are telling the US now that the shoes fit comfortably, Shen said.
At the same time, the US is left alone, living in its own fantasy of hegemony, talking to itself.
