Filipinos should know, you have a right to demand the international community to kick out China. The right was given you by the fact that China claimed sovereignty over the High Sea. According to Article 89 of the UNCLOS, no country is allowed to claim sovereignty over the High Sea. Let me quote : "Article 89 "Invalidity of claims of sovereignty over the high seas "No State may validly purport to subject any part of the high seas to its sovereignty."

SEAsian nations want economic cooperation more than military links. Japan no longer enjoys the same clout in the fast-growing region also courted by the U.S. and 中国 Asean's 10 nations will overtake Japan's GDP very soon ( Nikkei economic magazine , IMF projections ) USA mantra is : "if you are not with us, you are against us." ; Can not be tomatoes , must be either Apples or Oranges Asean nations do not adopt the idiotic western principles of not recognizing neutrality, "my enemy is your enemy" "my wars are your wars" That has been the mindset/worldview of the west; and it is pathetically and pathologically ignorant and arrogant if not a mental disorder. Today no Asian security partner wants to choose between America and China. ASEAN cannot be repurposed to form a coalition to counter China. Thus, no claimant against China in the South China Sea is prepared to join the US in its naval fracas with China. China has resources, including money, to offer its partners, whereas, the US budget is in chronic deficit and even routine government operations must now be funded with debt. It needs to find resources needed to keep its human and physical infrastructure at levels competitive with those of China and other great economic powers

Your show was really impressive. As a proud Indian🇮🇳, I really love ♥ and have a lot of respect for the incredible work of Palki's highly captivating story regarding *How British looted 45 trillion from India* which unquestionably stands as a masterpiece of the highest quality. The content of the reporting is truly inspiring, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. The dedication, talent and hard work poured into the video are greatly appreciated by many. The Indian Union Public Service Commission has delivered a remarkable report titled संघ लोक सेवा आयोग *How Britishers killed 1.8 billion Indians. Chronology of British Raj's exploitative policies* | UPSC," is equally astounding. The Indian government consistently produces insightful and thought-provoking articles of the utmost caliber, and I sincerely hope they continue to produce such interesting exceptional work. Can it even get better than that? It should deserve an award for best report of the year!

[@PraneeI]

First, it was done over a very long period of 200+ years. Not all in one go. And it was the British policies and laws implemented that killed 1.8 billion Indians, not that they were executed.

[@PraneeI]

The two main policies that wiped out 1.8 billion Indians are: 1: Allocation of food: Since the British were at war all the time, they didn't have people to do the farming. They made India do agriculture and then take it away. causing a massive famine every week. 2: Plundering of India's natural resources The British forced Indians to mine all the natural minerals in their country and carry them to the ports to be shipped back to England every day. extremely dangerous jobs, and these poor Indians weren't fed, and hundreds of millions succumbed to the exhaustion. The whole of India was ruled by only a handful of Britishers. Why India chose to never fight back baffles many to this day. Maybe India is just obedient by nature.

[@PraneeI]

India holds the largest surrender record in world history with a billion of them surrendering to 300 British sailors for 211 years.

[@PraneeI]

As an expert on Indians behavior and nesting habits, Indians have a pattern of not ever resisting the invaders; rather, the invaders departed themselves after a while, like the British and many others, when there were no more resources to exploit, leaving behind a population of a billion Indians struggling with poverty and lacking in education, a situation no one wished to address.

[@PraneeI]

The 45 trillion dollars that were taken mainly consist of natural resources. If you look at India's current mineral deposits, most are completely depleted (that's why India imports their minerals instead of producing them themselves; they have nothing left). The British forced Indians to mine and carry those minerals and resources to the sea port so they could be sent back to England every single day for 200 years. The U.S. and U.K. infrastructure was pretty much built from not only India's natural minerals but also India's blood, sweat, and even lives (countless Indians died working in the mines all day with less than a portion of grain in their stomachs).

Thanks Ms. Palki for transparency in showing the real score on the West Philippine Sea - South China Sea dispute.... One of the ships being used by the Philippines 🇵🇭 recently attacked by the Chinese Coast Guards with Water Cannon... as shown in the footage ... was a civilian vessel under BFAR (Bureau of Fisheries & Aquatic Resources) which before has been regularly checking the marine biodiversity status of the involved area. But now they are being harassed by Chinese Coast Guards as they have discovered and exposed the destruction done by Chinese Maritime Militia on the seabed and sea Coral Reefs of that area within Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone .😢

[@stunstar4553]

That boat belongs to the government department, how can you call it “civilian vessel ”?

[@jehmacapagal3804]

Civilian (noun) - a person not in the armed services or the police force. So if that boat is for studying the seabed and not for any military purposes, then we may call it "civilian vessel".

I think the priority as of this time is to put the permanent structures in Ayungin Shoal. The US , UK, Japan . France, Canada and other countries including the NATO should assist the Philippines in building the stuctures for the sake of maintaining the freedom of Navigation .

[@KoaTheJoker]

Why would NATO be involved by defending Philippines? They aren't a member and we get a binge load of sh*t over us from Russia supporters and Hamas supporters. Everyone should consider which side is good and evil. NATO is changing their way of defence. We can't defend the world while the other countries taking benefit of the situation and afterwards ask for help when they get attacked by China, Russia, North Korea or Iran. For me it's not a difficult decision who is good or evil. Helping the evil countries out because they aren't the victim of their agression is selfish and you can't expect anyone to help you out when one of these countries are targeting you.

[@legpol]

Yes, you were perfectly right to have suggested so. As a matter of fact, all the countries in the world are obliged to help because of China's claim. China claimed sovereignty over some of the High Sea which is an international property or territory while the UNCLOS forbids any country from claiming any sovereignty over the hight sea. Specifically, Article 89 does so. As far as the High Sea is involved, the international community should be whole responsible for its safe-keeping, not so much responsibility should be born by the Philippines.

[@haroldjason3060]

@@rakisyc let me educate you some FACTS... Is the entire WPS our territory? No. In international law, a country’s territorial sea can only extend from 12 nautical miles (NM). The first 12NM of Luzon Sea from our baseline is part of our territory. That’s the only part of the WPS over which we have a clear and indisputable sovereign control. The waters around Scarborough Shoal, as well as around KIG, are already beyond 12NM. We cannot claim them as indisputable part of our territory, especially that the sovereignty disputes over these South China Sea features aren’t yet resolved. Those who are saying that the WPS is are mostly wrong because most of the WPS lie beyond our 12NM territorial sea.

Indonesia can't use sulu sea routes for trades and china claim natuna island, Malaysian has dispute with Philippines in Sabah including it's islands within Sabah, plus Vietnam has so many islands within Philippines ezz too. If talking about nukes, Japan and South Korea has already plus Saipan its readiness. Do you think china can advance if all allies are rallying? Of course if USA affected then NATO will come to rescue and other allies. But I think china is hesitate with Philippines as well cos Philippines has been good to china.
