China can offer Philippines a lot of commercial and economic benefits but USA cannot. USA can only give 2 lousy planes but with a lot of US demands.
Duterte is right to form strategic alliance with China. Well done!

There is no point for Duterte to talk about PCA ruling because Australia also rejected PCA ruling recently. Duterte only will embarrass himself about PCA ruling as Australia also said PCA had no jurisdiction and the ruling was not legal binding. Therefore, Duterte might as well just focus on the business dealings with China and also form a strategic alliance with China.

This is why we cannot stop asking Japan to apologize for WW2 atrocities.
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/japan-pm-abe-sends-ritual-offering-yasukuni-shrine-025037365.html
Some Japanese government officials are still claiming that comfort women were legal because they didn't force women to be comfort women. Most claimed that those women volunteered for the jobs. Others claimed that the comfort women were doing the job because of life tribulations. The comfort women couldn't take hardships and couldn't tolerate starvation and they became comfort women to have better lives.
If we stop asking Japan to apologize for WW2 atrocities, we're agreeing to the Japanese claims that women couldn't take hardships and endure starvations and sought the easy way out in life by becoming comfort women.

Philippines just doesn't know what it is doing.
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/duterte-wont-barter-away-philippine-territory-china-111046898.html
First of all, by raising the PCA ruling in any meeting with China is a foolish move as Australia also rejected PCA ruling recently. This has shown that PCA is not a true and legitimate international court because Australia adhered to ICJ ruling which ruled in favour of East Timor but rejected PCA ruling. East Timor filed a case against Australia in PCA & ICJ and won.
Secondly, Philippines has accepted that the South China Sea islands belong to China unknowingly by requesting China to let Philippines fishermen to fish near the islands. If the islands don't belong to China, you won't request permissions from China. This is a simple logic. How come Philippines doesn't request permission to fish in South China Sea from USA?

US rig count - 539
HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased by 15 this week to 539.

Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. said Friday that 432 rigs sought oil and 105 explored for natural gas this week. Two were listed as miscellaneous.
Among major oil- and gas-producing states, Louisiana gained six rigs, New Mexico and Oklahoma increased by three each, Colorado was up two and Alaska, Pennsylvania and West Virginia added one apiece.
Texas declined by three rigs.
Arkansas, California, Kansas, North Dakota, Ohio, Utah and Wyoming were unchanged.

Just look at the video footages and you will know why.
USA missile was shot down by UFO. Just look at the Alien's technology and you will know USA is helpless.
Russian's missile was also shot down by UFO but this time, UFO vaporized the missile and Russia is helpless too.
There's also UFO in China. Therefore, USA cannot do anything to China.

Philippines has finally realized who is foe and who is friend.
http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/us-philippines-to-end-military-exercise-a-day-early
Philippines terminated its joint military exercise early with USA because Duterte had realized that the exercise was not beneficial to Philippines. The joint military exercise was performed with all USA weapons and technologies and USA would take back all its equipment after the exercise leaving Philippines operational readiness ineffective without USA equipment.
Therefore, if China and Philippines were to wage a war against each other, Philippines would be wiped out fast and furious without USA equipment. USA would not supply all the equipment that Philippines needed to win the war at the expense of USA. How did Duterte come to this conclusion? He took the leaf out of Crimea to form this conclusion because USA did nothing to help Crimea when Russia annexed it.
Philippines also realized that South China Sea became an issue after USA decided to get involved iand USA was the real troublemaker wherever it went. Therefore, Duterte decided to turn the situation around by getting cosy with China for the greater good.

Poor turnout at Shanghai Disneyland for the golden week holiday in China.
Shanghai Disneyland is the first retail victim of the golden week holiday in China. The visitorship has dropped so much that it takes only an average of about 5-10mins to queue for every activity in Disneyland.
Why is this phenomenon happening so fast when Shanghai Disneyland had just opened a few months ago?
Is the pricing too high? It is a known fact that the price is about 20% cheaper than HK.
Is anti-American sentiment brewing in China that Chinese are avoiding the theme park?

Golden week holiday in China will show how China perceives SG.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-29/singapore-s-golden-week-courts-china-tourists-as-retail-falls
SG has started to prepare for the Golden Week holiday in China and is courting China tourists to come to SG. The SG retail result will be an indication how China perceives SG after our PM's anti-china remarks in USA and Japan. If there is a drop in retail sales from China tourists, it will likely indicate that anti-Singapore sentiment has taken root in China, just like what happened in Taiwan.
http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/singapore-envoy-refutes-china-report-south-china-sea
This article could be the harbinger for the anti-Singapore sentiment in China.
Recently, China caucus has been advising China communist party not to regard SG as Chinese and should treat SG as a normal sovereign without a Chinese root because SG has been making anti-China remarks. Once this anti-Singapore sentiment starts brewing in China, we cannot turn back the tide and our economy will suffer.
Nonetheless, let's hope for the best and monitor the retail sales figures.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/most-singaporeans-would-choose-tharman-1523976433713206.html
Politically, Tharman is unlikely to be the next SG PM. Why? Well, this is because SG survival is highly dependent on its role to be the facilitator between the east and west. If Tharman is the next PM, SG will lose its close fraternity with China as China will view SG differently. China will view SG without a Chinese root and won't give preferential treatment to SG. LHL has also indicated that the next PM must be able to speak Mandarin and Tharman is not able to do that. Without a Chinese root, SG survival is going to be tougher in a more challenging environment.
LHL has been trying to change the presidential requirements for some hidden agenda. Time will reveal the truth in the future.

Will breaking the law in good faith exonerate your guilt?
http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/kong-hee-had-used-city-harvest-churchs-funds-good-faith-lawyer-says
Laws are not meant to be broken whether in good or bad faith. Breaking the law in good faith will not exonerate your guilt. If someone robs the rich to give it to the poor, he is also robbing in good faith and doesn't seek any personal gain for himself but that doesn't mean he is not guilty under the law.
The lawyers are damn stupid to argue in this way.
USA and Japan are still looking to stir up troubles in South China Sea.
USA and Japan (non-claimants) are still looking to stir up troubles in South China Sea when claimants have agreed to handle their differences with China bilaterally.
There has not been a single instance in South China Sea where there is no freedom of navigation by commercial ships. Asean knows what the USA & Japan are up to and will not follow them.

Simple maths problem
There are 18 students in a party. Each boy eats 5 sweets and each girl eats 3 sweets. In total, boys eat 42 sweets more than girls. How many more boys are there?

USA is losing support in South China Sea.
USA is quickly losing support in South China Sea. It will risk alienating itself and be ostracised by ASEAN because ASEAN know USA's ulterior motive now.

Russia supports China overtly to reject PCA ruling!
https://sputniknews.com/world/20160905/1044988523/russia-china-putin.html
Russia has declared its position on South China Sea and supported China to reject PCA ruling. Furthermore, it is asking non-claimants to stay out of South China Sea especially USA.
Russia will be involving in South China Sea which will restraint USA's influence.
ASEAN will be disintegrated once its members allow USA to meddle in South China Sea.
Countries that overtly support China: Russia & Thailand (latest update)
Countries that overtly support USA: None so far. (Duterte even called Obama son of whore)
When any Asean country overly supports USA, Asean will fall apart. For eg, if SG supports USA overtly, China will use Malaysia to punish SG. If Vietnam supports USA overtly, China will use Cambodia & Loas to punish Vietnam because Vietnam invaded its neighbouring countries in the past. If Indonesia supports USA openly, China will use Malaysia & Brunei to punish Indonesia (muslims against muslims).
How can Asean be united like before when 2 super power countries use Asean to fight against each other for their own political causes and interests?
USA will definitely lose out in South China Sea because ASEAN wants to maintain peace, stability and unitedness but USA will still have a consolation price by selling its weapons to ASEAN when it creates chaos in South China Sea.

SpaceX explosion was caused by UFOs flying past it. Look like aliens don't want too many satellites to orbit around earth.

Australia declares that PCA has no jurisdiction!
http://www.thestar.com.my/news/regional/2016/08/30/e-timor-urges-court-to-end-sea-border-row-with-australia/
Australia has declared PCA has no jurisdiction for its own case with East Timor but it wants China to respect and adhere to PCA's ruling on South China Sea. This is what happens when we allow a private organisation like PCA to rule on international matters. This will subject international laws to be interpreted differently. We must uphold a common set of interpretations for international laws.

Obama's daft comments on China!
Obama has disgraced and deceived himself and the world with such a blatant daft speech.
What's wrong with the speech?
Who is the one flexing muscles in south china sea with 2 aircraft carriers and several destroyers? USA!
Yes, China is signatory to the UN convention on the law of the sea but USA is not. Why is USA using a law which itself doesn't recognise?
UN convention on the law of the sea must not be subjected to different interpretations by different parties. There is only 1 international court and it is ICJ. PCA is just a private organisation without legal authority to rule on international matters. If you look at PCA's website, you cannot find anything on it to substantiate its legality as a court as to who and what empower PCA to be an international court. Furthermore, it states clearly on its website that it is not a court in traditional sense but a framework.
PCA is a private organisation that doesn't recognise historical claim but ICJ which is backed by UN recognises historical claim as it is a backbone of all sovereignties. Without historical claims, many nations wouldn't exist today including USA.
Terra Nullius was a historical claim used by SG in Pedra Branca case against Malaysia in ICJ and ICJ awarded Pedra Branca based on that. Please refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedra_Branca_dispute for more information.
If the world accepts PCA's ruling, it is empowering a private organisation to rule on international matters and also subjecting international laws to different interpretations. Where will UN and ICJ stand if a private organisation can rule on international matters?
The world must uphold the integrity of international laws and there must be a common interpretation but not different interpretations. Therefore, we cannot allow a private organisation to rule on international matters.
