- Genuine question... When China built a hospital in a week in Wuhan, social media were full of "Wow, amazing" news stories and comments. When the UK built a hospital in a week in London social media are "Meh...". Why the difference?
- 🎉Finally found a South China Sea document I’ve been seeking for a long time! An 1899 translation of a letter in which the ‘Chinese Foreign Ministry’ (the Zongli Yamen of the Qing Great State) says the Paracel Islands are ‘high seas’ and, implicitly, not part of its territory...
- A thread about the historical explanation for Indonesia’s current stand-off with China in the South China Sea.
- China establishes two districts to manage the South China Sea - a little thread to explain why this decision exposes the nonsense of China's territorial claims globaltimes.cn/content/118600…
- @bill_hayton-কে উত্তর দেওয়া হচ্ছেI don't think it's because outsiders are surprised that China can do such a thing. I think it's the opposite. It's a frame of thinking that sees the West as exhausted and China as the source of innovation and progress. Which is odd...
- More nonsense history of the South China Sea published by the South China Morning Post - this time written by the CEO of a private equity firm. I guess this is what corporate bosses have to do to gain favour from Beijing these days. Anyway, rebuttal...
- Freshly-minted PhD! With grateful thanks to my lovely wife who convinced me that my South China Sea jottings could be turned into a doctorate and (just as importantly) made sure I did so...এই পোস্টটি সেই অ্যাকাউন্ট থেকে এসেছে যেই অ্যাকাউন্টটির আর কোনো অস্তিত্ব নেই। আরও জানুন
- Congratulations to my fabulous, talented wife, Pam Cox, the new Member of Parliament for Colchester!
- I can think of a great way to ensure peace in the South China Sea. China could give up its bogus territorial and maritime claims there...The Ukrainian crisis must never be repeated in Asia, and regional security should be promoted through dialogue and cooperation. Attempts by certain forces outside the region to undermine peace in the South China Sea will not succeed. China is always willing to resolve differences
- Other generations may have stormed beaches and reached for the sky but for us, here, now, the defence of liberal democracy and the free and open rules-based international order demands the drinking of a lot of Australian wine.
- I guess Lithuania, Australia, the Philippines and South Korea might have a few things to say about this...China disapproves of the use of sanctions to solve problems, still less unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law. It has long been proved that sanctions, far from being a solution, will only create new problems.
- China is going to an extraordinary amount of effort to defend what is, in essence, a fictitious territorial claim in the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea. Shows the power of bullshit narratives to motivate state action.
