    In response to a comment explaining that neither ship was Chinese:

    And this is why China needs to stop being gigantic bullies and jerks in those waters. It leads to tensions where even routine stupid collisions in very crowded waters are instantly assumed to be hostile actions. If this had been a Chinese ship that had been struck, the Chinese would have instantly reacted the same way and they would have started howling for blood before the facts were known. Until China dials down the aggression, this area is a powder keg that they have created and sparks are flying every day. Today’s mishap was another spark and everybody is lucky that the shooting didn’t start. It’s up to the Chinese to stop this and dial back the tension.

    edit: wow, the China trolls are out for this comment! Sorry, kids. Have a nice afternoon.

        I am the main character of the universe and am so important that the Chinese government is personally targeting me.

      If China had done it, they would’ve reacted the same way. Why are they such bullies in this scenario I made up in my head? Now I’m angry, which is also China’s fault! angery

        The icing on this turd is that the US just started their war games with the Philippines in the South China Sea yesterday projection

          Lol remember when the US fired their wunderwaffle HIMARS in their last round of exercises with the Philippines? They launched the missiles at a target hulk and all of them missed. They basically went “well, if that was a Chinese ship they’d be real scared.”

      The absolute dressing on this is how many of these dipshits immediately thought it was Chinese, without realizing if that were the case the headline would be something akin to ‘Three dead and dozens injured after Chinese vessel collides with Philippines fishing merchant after taking dangerous route’.

      The media is already nearly as sinophobic as possible and it STILL isn’t good enough for these baying hounds.

      “If the situation had been completely different the Chinese might have done something bad if they acted like how I, someone who clearly hates Chinese people, presume they would act!”

      Makes you think.

      At least the replies to that post roundly rejected it though, even though this post managed to be upvoted. Trying to stay as bloomer as possible lol.

      Bro still can’t accept the embarrassment after shooting a $1 million missile at a child’s weather balloon
