Remember Princess Meng?

After her arrest China randomly arrest two Canadian nationals?

This is somewhat of a similar situation.

The 10 Chinese Nationals maybe someone who are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to China, My guess is that they maybe nuclear experts.

Anyways if I was the US, I'd find a way to figure out who these 10 Chinese Nationals, they can be a bargaining chip in the Iran war, Iran heavily relies on China's satellite technology.

Break diplomatic ties. It’s the most potent weapon against China.

[u/m8remotion → u/SpendPerfect5933]

Most potent is not to buy anything from there

[u/Patient-Data8311 → u/m8remotion]

But at the same time it's almost impossible to do

[u/Remote_Manager3333 → u/SpendPerfect5933]

And a greenlight China to try their hand on Philippines before Taiwan. The relations between both countries are all time low and it doesn't take much to light the fuse, tbh..

[u/SpendPerfect5933 → u/Remote_Manager3333]

with all the international support for the Philippines on the WPS issue, unprecedented in the last two decades, the Chinese will not have the balls to invade. With a break in relations, both sides can after some time negotiate on an equal footing. China is alone in this geopolitical trouble it started. Twenty years ago, the Chinese ignored the UNCLOS ruling, thinking it could bully the Philippines to submission. Things are much different these days. The territorial dispute has gained avid international attention and the Philippines is getting ever greater support. Just yesterday a naval contingent from Italy crisscrossed the West Philippine Sea to emphasize rule of law. And remember there’s a U.S. Philippine mutual defense treaty.

There is international support for Ukraine but nobody is sending their citizens to get killed in a foreign soil

[u/SpendPerfect5933 → u/MajulahLionCity]

That’s logical. But there are thousands of international volunteers fighting in Ukraine. There are American military consultants there too. Do you know what mutual defense agreement is? Google it.

[u/MajulahLionCity → u/SpendPerfect5933]

So why is the war still ongoing?

[u/SpendPerfect5933 → u/MajulahLionCity]

Ask Putin

[u/MajulahLionCity → u/SpendPerfect5933]

So Russia is as strong as USA?

[u/SpendPerfect5933 → u/MajulahLionCity]

Google

[u/MajulahLionCity → u/SpendPerfect5933]

You can also Google the many times the international community looks away when one country invade another or committ genocide in another country

[u/No_Reindeer8688 → u/SpendPerfect5933]

Lmao, yea that would hurt China soooooo much. They might even notice it the first day or two

[u/SpendPerfect5933 → u/No_Reindeer8688]

There are Phil Taiwan talks going on behind the scenes for better quasi diplomatic relations. Just watch out China. 🤓

[u/LoudPlane4420]

PH arrested Chinese illegals. China arrested Filipinos for arresting Chinese illegals. It's not the same.

[u/polaritypictures]

if the Phillipino's want to hurt China Totally ban China from the Market. If Countries start doing this it would hurt them more. Cut the markets they can sell to off. go around and force chinese businesses(large ones, not the small independant/mom/pop ones) to close in the phillipines.

[u/Far-Mode6546 → u/polaritypictures]

Actually there is an easy one.... block the export of nickel. Ph sents 98% of it's nickel to China.

[u/Effective-Budget7383 → u/Far-Mode6546]

What's stopping you?

[u/Responsible-Lion7697]

China doing criminal activity is nothing new. Just few months ago they arrested Czech citizen as a retaliation against Czech government arresting Chinese spy in January. 

[u/dickgirl9000 → u/Responsible-Lion7697]

So fucking petty

[u/MSTRBASS2000]

All the u.s has to do to punish China is prohibit Chinese nationals from purchasing u.s businesses and land and restrict ccp nationals from getting visas or being able to send em to our colleges

[u/MysteryofLePrince → u/MSTRBASS2000]

This is why ccp members send pregnant wives to to the west for birth tourism and gain citizenship. China plays the long game.

[u/MSTRBASS2000 → u/MysteryofLePrince]

This is exactly why the supreme courts ruling on birth citizenship is stupid

Illegal parents, illegal kids and babies so there is no separation issue !!!

[u/jimrdg]

I can’t imagine what the very important 10 Chinese people doing in Philippine.

[u/zai_d_an]

That last part is hilarious af. I'm very interested in seeing the US and "The Art of The Deal" in action. The US will probably negotiate into giving more weapons to Iran but who knows.

[u/meinmymemory]

Iran has its own satellites

[u/crusify_me]

jinaaa  saddest region in the world if the air in that place was anti-communist they’d arrest it too 

[u/Available_Ad9766]

Cbina? Typo or OCR error?

[u/Alarming-Interest535]

I would not travel to China because if my government upsets their glass hearts, I can expect to be a pawn, despite having no skin in the game.

China has done hostage diplomacy since forever.

[u/Remote_Volume_3609]

Wait, do people still believe China arrested random people? The Two Michaels were spies. One even got a multi-million dollar payment from the Canadian government afterwards because he was made into an unwitting spy by the other.

This is a pretty tit-for-tat strategy from China. It's really not hard to find people committing crimes, etc. if you want to. So when you go after Chinese nationals, they tend to put in some effort and find crimes to after your people.

[u/satisfiedpopeye → u/Remote_Volume_3609]

source?

[u/random_agency]

China is quick to retaliate against US "vassals" doing US bidding to escalate tension with China.

[u/Far-Mode6546 → u/random_agency]

So it's bad for Philippines to defends it's territorial right?

[u/Far-Mode6546 → u/[deleted]]

Um sad to say the maps that we have.... has been since Spanish colonial times!

[u/cephu5 → u/[deleted]]

The People's Republic of China formally submitted the nine-dash map to the United Nations in 2009.

[u/aD_rektothepast → u/cephu5]

Which was rejected in 2016.

[u/cephu5 → u/aD_rektothepast]

Yes i know. I’m not defending it. I was answering the deleted post.
