Scarborough Shoal has been crowded with 🇨🇳#China Coast Guard & maritime militia for weeks. Today I'm tracking 2 more CCG ships arriving, 4301 & 4106, in addition to 3105 & 3106 already in the area. Also 14 large Qiong Sansha Yu militia there on the eve of 🇵🇭🇺🇸Exercise Balikatan.
No, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian, the 🇵🇭#Philippines is not "🇨🇳#China's doorstep"--it's a sovereign nation with its own sovereign interests. But thanks for reminding us how you think about these things. newsweek.com/us-philippines…
