    There are no international laws anymore. If China is so concerned about laws, then maybe they should first ask their friends in Russia to stop invading other countries.
    Otherwise, I don’t support what the U.S. administration is doing, but China and Russia are not the ones who have any right to criticize other countries for violating international law.

  2. One of the tankers just taken by the US was not on a sanction list it, was headed to China. China made a few loans for Venezuela oil. The US now says all of Venezuela oil is now under sanction not just ships on the US list.

  3. Wow! Coming from them who do not want and wont recognize the arbitral ruling in the West Philippine Sea dispute.

    Ohhh I see, China says. China can fuck off fishing all the waters to death that doesn’t belong to them before “China says”.

    This is literally the US enforcing international maritime law. False flag vessels have no legal protections.

    Probably concerned about their shadow navy and fishing boats poaching in other countries waters becoming potential targets in the future.

  7. China is wrong. Those tankers are under sanctions. The US is legally allowed to board them and seize them. Also, China has no right to complain about violations of international law. They do it every day by violating the sovereignty of their neighbors and continuing to occupy Tibet.

    Isn’t having organ-harvesting death camps a violation of international law, too? Not sure China really has the moral high ground on this one

  9. What’s taking place in the Caribbean is what’s taking place off the coast of the Philippines & Vietnam

    Wish EU had the balls to say something like this. Its moral superiority is reserved for issues related to China.
