indonesia with nearly 300 million population is kind of like the 'china' of SEA

so just like india, US needs indonesia as another useful counterweight to china in eastern asia

year end flooding ==> reduced production ==> lower inventory ==> higher cpo price

but still so greedy grabbing territory in SCS in SEA region

china already got plenty land in tibet, yunnan, xinjiang, mongolia, manchuria

When we first bought our subs, leaders of opposition like rocket party started disparaging them as subs that can't dive & other shhit.

We're always a bit too slow on defence matters

They have many more tanks & jets than we do too

Well we do have loads of catching up to do in defence. We have a much longer total coastline to defend than Vietnam, yet we only have two subs while they already have six.

BJCorp hits 20-month high

Why you so concerned aah

He your fren kah

You can resort to desperate immature kiddy namecalling, tobby old boy, but it doesn't change anything at all

Have you checked your figures yet, tobby old boy?

Well, in economic terms (based on GDP), china still #3 behind US & EU

While in military terms, still #3 behind US & Russia

You reckon so? Well, we shall see.

Vietnam also got Russia as their all weather ally, something china might have to contend with in case of any major conflict with Vietnam

Battle of Bach Dang River 1288 was of course a fantastic victory for Vietnam

Yep I know about them all, mita29

History is a big hobby of mine, so reading about & studying ancient battles is just right up my alley

Not suitable for short term speculating

TDM for long term investing la

We already claimed the biggest two islands falling within the 200 nautical mile EEZ from sabah coastline

We only claiming what is obviously ours according to UNCLOS

mita29, if you really seriously think that vietnam can really come up to scratch facing china alone, then you must be one really naive man

or woman

Well if we're to go by UN 2016 tribunal decision based on UNCLOS, china, taiwan & vietnam get nothing at all from them SCS islands

Only Philippines which gets most, and malaysia & brunei which gets some

although having come fresh from ousting US forces from vietnam soil, them viets were looking kind of a bit formidable & dangerous that time

sslee, vietnam only invaded cambodia to stop the mad insane khmer rouge massacre, which was a good thing actually

they were never strong enough to have taken on thailand in a full blown invasion of their own

china should not be in SCS at all. Period.

But unfortunately for SEA states, they're already in there, and SEA states are not strong enough to dislodge them on their own.

So if US + US allies feel that they're dutybound to intervene, then by all means, they're most welcome, of course.

SCMP is a china publication

Can you really expect them to be anything else BUT pro-china?

If US + US allies feel justified to intervene, then so be it

US might still be the global hegemon, but china is now the regional hegemon

the greedy bullying arrogant imperialist expansionist regional hegemon

mita29, china is sitting on SEA maritime territory in SCS

territory that should belong to only SEA states according to UNCLOS

yet you keep justifying everything china has done in SCS

every single post of yours is so obviously in favour of china rather than your own country of domicile

what further evidence do we need of your china loyalty?

Taiwan is already de facto independent

Got their own credible army, navy & air force

Now China's greed gonna be China's ultimate downfall
