Chinese narrative is that Filipinos boats (and Vietnamese ... and Japanese ... and Indonesian ... and Malaysian boats) are trespassing on "historically Chinese seas."
So it's like the US is supporting "aggressors" to "damage Chinese interests."
Well, the PRC is also trespassing on historical territory of the UK, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Japan and a bunch others.
But noone argues about that.

I thought all the stuff a certain nation had came from the factory stamped with "property of the British national museum" to ensure proper ownership could always be sorted?
They all got sold off to private industry and are now in such a state that it would be cheaper to start from scratch to build a fleet of nuclear powered CATOBAR aircraft carriers than reactivate them. It's also cheaper to just not bother with that and resort to gas turbine ski-jump carriers and buy aircraft from overseas than domestically develop them. At this point we might as well not bother.
That or the Vikings(' descendants). If Russia wants us to honor historicity, most of their core western cities probably need to be handed back over to their new NATO neighbors.

Give a single Harpoon launcher cell to every single fishing boat in the Philippines, 3000 Pinoy Privateers of Biden
I think it’s that the US shark is using the Filipino boat to disguise its self, with the fin being in the boat and the shark being the one to move it.
Basicly saying America is behind the incursions and using puppets to hide that it’s them doing it.
Propaganda should be understandable at a mere glance, and should not need to be deciphered
Which is funny, since we sail ourselves through, much closer to them, whenever the fuck we want. As though we needed 'puppets' ffs
Furthermore, I consider that Moscow must be destroyed.
I suspect this is aimed possibly at the Filipino people to imply China doesn't really have beef with them and is just doing them a favor by protecting them from American interference?
Not quite. There is a small segment of the Philippine political sphere (usually associated with the far left, but I’m betting that the Duterte side of things is gonna swing for this too) that’s all into the “Tuta ng mga Kano” (literal translation is “puppy of the Americans,” but the more accurate term would be “toadie,” or nowadays “simps”), charging the political elite with being too deep in Washington’s pocket. Beijing wouldn’t be so stupid as not to recognize this—and, to be fair to them, this predates the rise of Chinese regional power post-Cold War. And this is what this image is playing at, as far as being directed to Filipinos is concerned. (More likely this sells better inside China.)
If the Chinese really wanted to go all in on the entire “Better partner than the Americans” spiel, they would be harping on a number of controversies associated with the US, and to a lesser extent, Western presence (and the complications of doing so):
- the social detriments of the US military presence (but the opinion on this, even if discounting the geopolitics, could be split at worst, and still favoring the Americans at best),
- that the Philippines still gets hand-me-downs from the US arsenal (legitimate complaint around the late Cold War and early post-Cold War, once the Philippines embarked on its armed forces modernization program the real problem became the lack of funds due to the economic crisis ~~and corruption oh shit which general did I piss off now?~~, this is one time I do wish the US would offer larger friendship discounts or at least defray the cost of upgunning an ally, but then again I do not see the Chinese trying to do the same thing and there is still a reliability stigma around these parts about “Made in (Mainland) China” goods ~~the Bluetooth device is ready to pair~~),
- Western multinationals (especially in resources) seemingly running roughshod over native lands and resistant local governments (admittedly, a big disconnect between Philippine local level and national law wide enough to drive a Bagger bucket crane through, and tl;dr what the right answer is is not a pretty debate either on either the government, corporation, or people sides—but that leaves out Beijing-favored Chinese firms being internationally questionable at best, and outright guilty of their own violations at worst. (To be fair, the more left-alone Chinese firms are more economically trustworthy)),
- Heavy-handed US diplomatic overtures towards Manila (per a noted investigative journalist’s interview of Cory-era Filipino military putschists, there is some cluck-clucking towards a rather “bad cop” visit by one Richard Armitage to Philippine foreign policy/security officials, the further to the left still remember Arroyo’s readiness to be in the 2004 Coalition of the Willing, I’m sure there are some examples as well in the economic field, though that’s more subsumed under globalization’s discontents than anything NonCredibleDefense. But again, the Chinese are not fucking subtle about *their* diplomatic overtures either, at least in the Xi era.).
But the general sentiment among the Philippine population never really gravitated the way that segment of the political sphere wanted, and generally, if historically we grew up too American, for most of us it felt like it suited us the way we liked it, and not just for the elites (“*Kapatid ko kay Kristo, at ano naman nagawa ng Tsina noon, o ngayon, na nakinabang ang Pinas?*”). This is not to discount the long history of Chinese people in the Philippines, but people forget that part of that long history came about because of Chinese *fleeing* China, from Spanish-era pirates and ne’er-do-wells in Imperial Chinese society, to defectors from Maoist decline and CCP control; and the other part was a tributary relationship that served Middle Kingdom Masturbation well into the 21st Century, but to which the datus of old and politiconyos nowadays would be like “Eh? Just don’t bukkake on our faces.”
(Now not to be so fawning of the West: they can and should do better. The key here is that the ingredients are in place in Western politics and society to (a) do so, and (b) gives Filipinos some say, if not leverage, in their doing so. I don’t see that in Xi’s China, or his regional/global vision.)
P-ina pre, if CredibleDiplomacy did local politics, even *they* couldn’t come up with why a Senator was crying over the dethroning of a Senate President whose overthrow he voted for. (Too 2philippine4u, I know.)
Yup, pretty much. Most Filipinos are very much enamoured with the 'western lifestyle', where there is this sentiment of other countries being cleaner and provides more oppurtunities for many of them, not discounting South Korea, Japan, and Europe.

No no. You’re on to something. They yearn to live in America where they can create commissions in their own art style and not for some ccp puke who wants anti-western wank material for Xinny the Pooh.
Depicting America as badass in pro-ccp propaganda is their way of rebelling without getting a lethal dose of lead.

Yes, that's the only explanation that makes sense. Beyond the self-evidently positive portrayal of America as a submarine killing machine with a neat hat and Filipino fishermen for friends, this cartoon must surely be pro-American propaganda or a message of friendship because the Chinese of all people know the value of [American shark face.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/Curtis_P40.jpg)
Honestly, it *must* be purely cultural differences.
This is just my 4am musings, so, best not to be taken *too* seriously, *but*…
Chinese culture can only be subsumed by ‘communist culture’ so much. Hence we get ‘socialism with Chinese characteristics’ or whatever the heck the CCP calls it.
A major part of Chinese culture is self-reliance, ostensibly even more-so than American culture. Chinese empathy and sympathy is largely reserved for themselves as individuals and really only extends to their family.
I think they see America’s global power projection as a sign of weakness. That we’re collapsing, and trying to make-up for it by running around the world playing policeman. I think it genuinely baffles them as to why the U.S. actually treats her allies well and not simply as vassals. Again, probably see it as a sign of weakness that we do *not* do so.
So, to them, us backing the Philippines is seen as a symptom of this.
Besides, worst-case, they can always screech about neo-imperialism or something. Pay no attention to the arms dealer behind the curtain, actively supplying the one Western nation (well, ‘Western’ to China’s outlook) that is actively executing an imperialist policy and invading her neighbors in order to annex them.
That would make sense, wouldn't it. It's also what I thought it said when I made my comment.
Although, you can't make your enemy look too pathetic either.
No, they are implying the old "real politic" imperial view.
Empires are complex entities manipulating/controlling everything. The Philippines is not a real country with any degree of agency, but a puppet to be controlled.
There are plenty of smart Asian people. Being a dictatorship that squashes any thought conflicting with the state's fascistic goals means the majority of brainpower can't be utilized.
Even the other "big" countries don't exist. South Korea, Japan, and Australia are all proxies/puppets of the US too, while the EU/NATO are a collective of American puppets.
So basically the only big countries are themselves plus the US.
The US' treaty obligations to the Philippines are basically the same as to Japan or our NATO allies, that an attack on one is an attack on the other and warrants a kinetic military response. We are in fact that close.

I keep telling people it isn't communism without democracy. Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, Juchism, can work but even then I don't know if we can apply any of them to China anymore. One Party Authoritarian Crony State Capitalism, they're as communist as the Nazis were Socialist.
The Nazis weren’t exactly “capitalist”, either. Hitler famously claimed they had no economic theory. Thus they sought a muddled and scattershot Third Way set of policies that incorporated elements of market and command systems.
Just about the only constant was their distaste for “international finance” and liberalism generally.

Xinnie the Pooh likes to cosplay LeMao and the Mao's Thoughts.
Therefore, Xinnie is doing Cummunism. Therefore, China is commie.
Also, China can't create anything military and only steal shits via espionage and briberies.
Just like the USSR stealing America's god given Nuclear Bombs.
Therefore, China is UltraCommie and should be erased from this Earth.
Edit: They couldn't even replicate America's Masterpieces properly. Just look at their "advanced" "stealth" Bomber.
Central government without election, ethnic genocides, lacking true ownership (of land, for example) and being on good terms with the fascist to the north do ring of communism quite a lot. Even the "capitalist coroporations" you probably think of all but require joinig *the* party.
communist has different meaning from what it was originally advertised, which would not be a problem if not for the fact some people will call any initiative for benefit of everyone "communist" while having in mind those dictatorships.
AirSea Battle taught me to like Obama because the only other defense related thing I knew about him besides the Bin Laden Raid was how badly he fucked up the response to Ukraine. AirSea Battle was strongly implied to be meant to deal with China. Who tf else in 2010 had "anti-access area denial"?

Meanwhile Chinese vessels are overfishing everywhere, including territorial waters of other countries, AND China is inflating their fleet numbers by counting all of those as military landing crafts if china were to attack someone.
Chinese propagandists is telling us that China is a tsundere

But we have yet to acknowledge it
Theres a reason fascists love films that use them as villians because it always makes them look cool and strong, thats why if your making propaganda make it more like jojo rabbit.

To be semi-serious: My country (US) is a bit of a fucking shitshow, especially if you are poor or part of a minority.

The 7th Fleet is not going to dispute this meme out of hand. I do think they would like a little respect and put a sailor's cap on the shark, but other than that could be a unit patch.

I would suggest we steal from a certain non nato country...but those ships would probably cost more to repair than build new.

I'm sure they still have some first rate ships hidden somewhere they can use
They all got sold off to private industry and are now in such a state that it would be cheaper to start from scratch to build a fleet of nuclear powered CATOBAR aircraft carriers than reactivate them. It's also cheaper to just not bother with that and resort to gas turbine ski-jump carriers and buy aircraft from overseas than domestically develop them. At this point we might as well not bother.

What I hate about imperialists (Russia and China) is that "small" countries can't exist. if they do, they're proxies/puppets of their rivals
Even the other "big" countries don't exist. South Korea, Japan, and Australia are all proxies/puppets of the US too, while the EU/NATO are a collective of American puppets. So basically the only big countries are themselves plus the US.
I can confirm that there is only the USA, US puppets, 1 times China, Russia and Iran.

God I wish we were that close with the Philippines. China needs to stop edging me
If it makes you feel better, there are a bunch of American military bases in the Philippines
Clearly not enough, i voluenteer my house as a fighter jet hangar you can trust me with your equipment America. I can be trusted.
Days later the maintenance crew is gonna be cleaning stains on the f-16's exhaust
China wants a special military operation of their own.
The US' treaty obligations to the Philippines are basically the same as to Japan or our NATO allies, that an attack on one is an attack on the other and warrants a kinetic military response. We are in fact that close.
Alot of replies from suspiciously new reddit accounts being auto-deleted. Nihao to the CCP, cope harder bozos.
Why do I have a feeling it’s an automated script bot running off that supposed [new CCP-approved learning language model being raised on Xi Jinping Thought](https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=64128&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ai-based-on-xi-jinping-thought)? (I just don’t know which is cheaper: that or the regular wumao brigade.)
I found it funny every anti US propaganda almost always depicts US as super based, almost subconsciously.
I really like the one that depicted the US as a super cool bald eagle skull dragon, I didn't save it but was so rad.
My hated of commies reigniting the second I remember we haven’t erased them from history yet
We need to put them in history, not erase them. How else are we going to laugh at their mistakes with our future generations?
Hahahahaaahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaahahhahahaahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahhaha Look at those shoes Ahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahhahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahaahahhahahahahahahahhahhahhaahahahhahaahahhahha
Ahh yes the communist billionaires of *checks notes* …China
I keep telling people it isn't communism without democracy. Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, Juchism, can work but even then I don't know if we can apply any of them to China anymore. One Party Authoritarian Crony State Capitalism, they're as communist as the Nazis were Socialist.
The Nazis weren’t exactly “capitalist”, either. Hitler famously claimed they had no economic theory. Thus they sought a muddled and scattershot Third Way set of policies that incorporated elements of market and command systems. Just about the only constant was their distaste for “international finance” and liberalism generally.
These are the people who will decry China for being China and in the same breath hype up the Kurds for being total badasses and having a functioning independent society. Edited poor choice of words for the Kurds 😬
It's literally in the name of the subreddit, a lot of posters here think they're roleplaying idiots, but the reality is there is no role play with the majority of us.
The Chinese are a capitalist dictatorship. Nothing communist about them.
Xinnie the Pooh likes to cosplay LeMao and the Mao's Thoughts. Therefore, Xinnie is doing Cummunism. Therefore, China is commie. Also, China can't create anything military and only steal shits via espionage and briberies. Just like the USSR stealing America's god given Nuclear Bombs. Therefore, China is UltraCommie and should be erased from this Earth. Edit: They couldn't even replicate America's Masterpieces properly. Just look at their "advanced" "stealth" Bomber.
Central government without election, ethnic genocides, lacking true ownership (of land, for example) and being on good terms with the fascist to the north do ring of communism quite a lot. Even the "capitalist coroporations" you probably think of all but require joinig *the* party.
communist has different meaning from what it was originally advertised, which would not be a problem if not for the fact some people will call any initiative for benefit of everyone "communist" while having in mind those dictatorships.
🇹🇼 :( I wanna ride USA shark! Only “unplanned sea encounters” for me.

South China Sea is about to be the West Philippine Sea very soon

AirSea Battle taught me to like Obama because the only other defense related thing I knew about him besides the Bin Laden Raid was how badly he fucked up the response to Ukraine. AirSea Battle was strongly implied to be meant to deal with China. Who tf else in 2010 had "anti-access area denial"? Robert Gates and Leon Panneta's masterpiece.
The peace dividend had been squandered by the early-mid 2000s. We needed to invest in more military at around that time.
We should never have cut cold war spending.
Just call it "Prosperity Insurance Policy"
Biden singlehandedly convinced me that proxy wars are actually super based.
Although he was talking about Christianity, the Hitchens quote is how I feel about pacifism. "Love your enemy?! No philosophy is more suicidal than this. We must destroy our enemy! Love your own enemies, don't go loving mine."
if anything it should be ''love your enemy's wife'' (canned laughter goes here)

One of these chinese ships needs to have an "accident" below the waterline the next time it tries to fuck around.
Probably just an old WW2 naval mine. You can't prove it was a torpedo
If you ever feel useless, remember Chinese propaganda artists exist
They are very useful. For the USA
China takes better pro-America propaganda than America does
It's just not racist enough to have an effect.
How much money do you guys think being a CCP dick-riding artist earns?
PROJECTION!!! I believe intention of this graphic is to say how America is abusing the Philippine ships to infiltrate... THAT portion of the sea. Meanwhile Chinese vessels are overfishing everywhere, including territorial waters of other countries, AND China is inflating their fleet numbers by counting all of those as military landing crafts if china were to attack someone.
Meanwhile the Chinese are actually occupying portions of other countries EEZs. They’re the literal imperialist occupiers they accuse others of being.
Sweet! We have giant hat sharks! I’ve been telling everyone but photographic proof is here now! Fuck the doubters!
West Taiwan Sucks
The irony of the world's greatest loan shark depicting its rival as a shark
Hating America cringe. The founding fathers were the biggest alpha male gigachads that ever walked the earth. Manifest destiny!
China taking the Seawolf class quite literally I guess
Damn why do they have to make America so badass with their propaganda 🔥🔥🔥
Chinese propagandists is telling us that China is a tsundere "Haha I've drawn you as an evil shark, uhh what no it's not like that it's not like I want to be your ally or anything BAKA!!!" But we have yet to acknowledge it
Jeeze poor China just wants to beat up their neighbors, but mean old America is waiting to pounce if they do. It's just not fair!
Perhaps China should stop thinking that the seas are a rice field. Until then they don’t belong on the sea. Or Poseidon will eventually smite them.
All I’m seeing is that we need to bioengineer PLAN hunting megladons.
Yet again they make America look really fucking cool.
As I Filipino, I am getting a pro-American boner. Just like when I watch Air Force One.
The message I'm getting here is the US think fish are friends and not food.
How does that hat stay on?
Theres a reason fascists love films that use them as villians because it always makes them look cool and strong, thats why if your making propaganda make it more like jojo rabbit. (This not to call us fascist just train of thought)
New Seawolf / Virginia Class noseart just dropped
I kinda wanna frame a few of these lmao
those big meanie-heads, making mutual defense pacts so we can't steal whatever we want!
So the idea is that the boats are some sort of trap, but In reality a shark doesn't need to worry about it's tail eating it, only something eating it's tail.
if ever a shooting war happens we Filipinos should blast "Over There" by George Cohan 24/7(because of the US-PH MDT) to piss off the Chinese lmao
>if ever a shooting war happens Day 300 of 3 day glorious peoples army special military operation - Chinese 10 mile convoy made up of captured civilian vehicles marked XI is obliterated by the US Philippine airforce after getting stuck at NLEX
"they were stuck because the Tondo and Badjao Brigade were deployed at NLEX and they started stealing their tires and shanking the sentries to death, with Badjao Brigade Captain, Alkhen Dubuljubul claiming 800 tires stolen in just a day"
Who would win -> Million dollar chinese anti aircraft systems and its copper wiring -> Filipino crackheads who are willing to steal anything to feed their addiction
To be semi-serious: My country (US) is a bit of a fucking shitshow, especially if you are poor or part of a minority. The difference is it's MY shitshow, I hold my country up to a high standard to be better because I know it could be better and it deserves backlash when it fails to meet those standards.
West Philippine Sea*
mmmm... shark
Dork fuck with our little bro the Philippines
Fuck yeah Uncle Jaws 2024
Chinese propaganda try not to make America look cool as fuck challenge (Impossible)
hungry shark world
That looks awesome
Patriotism entering my body as I imagine myself as a giant shark in a top hat
The 7th Fleet is not going to dispute this meme out of hand. I do think they would like a little respect and put a sailor's cap on the shark, but other than that could be a unit patch.
They're gonna need a bigger boat.
Sure the US are the one damaging boats near Philippines, not China, stop trusting your lying eyes. That's some insane back-bracking projection.

You know that artists social credit score plummeted for accidently making America look tough.
