  1. Western economists have been predicting China's economic downfall since 1990s. 1990. The Economist: China's economy has come to a halt. 1996. The Economist: China's economy will face hard landing. 1998. The Economist: China's economy entering a dangerous period of sluggish growth. 1999. Bank of Canada: Likelihood of a hard landing for the Chinese economy. 2000. Chicago Tribune: China currency move nails hard landing risk coffin. 2001. Wilbanks, Smith & Thomas: A hard landing in China. 2002. Westchester University: China Anxiously Seeks A Soft Economic landing. 2003. KWR International: How to find a soft landing if China.. 2004. The Economist: The great fall of China? 2005. Nouriel Roubini: The Risk of a Hard Landing in China. 2006. International Economy: Can China Achieve a Soft Landing? 2007.

Nouriel Roubini: Hard landing coming in China. 2011. Business Insider: A Chinese Hard Landing May Be Closer Than You Think. 2012. American Interest: Dismal Economic News from China: A Hard Landing. 2013. Zero Hedge: A Hard Landing in China. 2014. CNBC: A hard landing in China. 2015. Forbes: Congratulations, You got Yourself A Chinese Hard Landing.... 2016. The Economist: Hard Landing looms for China. 2017. National Interest: Is China's Economy Going To Crash? 2018. The Daily Reckoning: China's Coming Financial Meltdown. ... But it's already 2019 and China's economy is still going strong. So why do people still continue to believe the Western anti-China propaganda when it has been consistently proven wrong for almost 30 years already?

  8.  @Winters777  It's written in black and white in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, how is it a lie? Philippines maritime boundaries are drawn and they do not include the South China Sea as within Philippine territory.

  9.  @jayztv3345  Rules-based international law? The Philippines government deliberately ran aground a ship (BRP Sierra Madre) on to the Second Thomas shoal, and then started to claim the shoal as part of Philippine territory, how's this the Rules-Base international law?

  10. Durtete fought to rid the Philippines of its colonial occupation by removing the US bases. Marcos is reversing this.

  13.  @leonguererro-n8s  "The Spaniards came followed by the Americans and the Japanese." It's astonishing that Philippines had been historically colonized by the Americans, after losing a war in which some 250,000 Filipino citizens were killed. Yet China, now is being pictured as an invader, even though China has no history of invading the Philippines.

  14. @Conscience Observer Why President Trump need to personally come down to Asia to negotiate trade deals? While President Xi Jinping usually just make phonecalls or send letters to America?

  15.  @Winters777  Philippines intentionally parked a rusty vessel (Sierra Madre) onto the Second Thomas Shoal in order to stake a claim to the shoal, how's that not shameless?

  16.  @Winters777  "Shenzhou. No country in the world supported your claim," According to The Diplomat: Who Wupports China in the South China Sea and Why the authors found at least 70 countries that have expressed support for China's stance on the South China Sea issue, compared with just 6-8 countries that support the Philippine's stance.

  17.  @Winters777  Now you're even resorting to hurling racial slurs (like tofu) against me just because I am Chinese and you're unable to refute my points.

  18.  @Winters777  In 1999, Philippine president Joseph Estrada promised that the ground vessel would be towed away. In 2014, the Chinese government asked the Philippines to remove the grounded ship. In 2017, China and the Philippines established a gentlemen's agreement that the status quo be maintained for the South China Sea, as both sides tried to strengthen their relations. Under the status quo agreement, no construction materials are allowed to fortify the Sierra Madre. Yet the Philippines has gone against this agreement and repeatedly brought in supply ships to reinforce the rusting hull of the grounded vessel.

  19.  @Winters777  According to article entitled: Duterte’s China ‘agreement’ on Ayungin prevented supply of construction material, says his spokesman (by Philippine Daily Inquirer, Jane Bautista) Under the status quo agreement, Philippine vessels may deliver “only water and food” to the BRP Sierra Madre, the grounded World War II-era warship. Thus, any attempt by the Philippines to bring in construction materials to fortify Sierra Madre would be in violation of the agreement. Former President Rodrigo Duterte accepted a “gentleman’s agreement” with Beijing regarding the nature of Manila’s resupply missions to its remote outpost in Ayungin (Second Thomas) Shoal in the West Philippine Sea, his former spokesperson Harry Roque.

  20.  @Todd-rk2lb  Lol, what makes you think I've being forced by my government to type here? I present China's side logically, yet I'm being met with vitriol just because my views happen to differ from yours.

  21.  @mathewg5884  Second Thomas Shoal has no artificial islands, what are you talking about? The fact that Philippines had to park a rusty ship to stake its claim, just goes to show that it's not even Philippine territory in the first place.

  22.  @mrkaizagaming2652  What Chinese overlordship? China does not intend to conquer the Philippines, but as I've shown the South China Sea is not part of Philippines territory as per the 1898 Treaty of Paris, so why is Philippines claiming Chinese territory as their own?

  23.  @axisense8651  Greediness? I provide arguments to support China's side, yet you just dismiss them while coming up with nothing substantial of your own.

  24.  @fars7346  Republic of China (now Taiwan) first drew up the 11 Dash Line in 1947. Even the USA acknowledged the 11 Dash Line, and the Americans reminded the Philippines at its independence in 1946 that the Spratlys was not Philippine territory, both to not anger Chiang Kai-shek in China and because the Spratlys were not part of the Philippines per the 1898 treaty Spain signed with America.

  25. China made a statement in Mandarin language. Marcos Jr used the language of their former colonial masters.

  26.  @markoshae5649  China has 5,000 years of history and is among the world's oldest "continuous" civilizations still alive today, whereas other ancient civilizations like Rome and Egypt eventually crumbled. China has witness the rise and fall of various other countries, yet China has made it to modern times relatively intact.

  27.  @Winters777  Looks like you can't refute my points so you resort to hurling personal insults against me.

  28.  @Winters777  Shameless? The Philippines intentionally grounded a vessel, and refused China's help in repairing the vessel to send it on its way. Instead, the Philippines continues to send supply ships to reinforce the rusting hull of the Sierra Madre, in order to stake their claim shamelessly.

  29.  @Winters777  The Philippines believes that the label Panacot on the Velarde Map refers to the Scarborough Shoal, and it is the first map with label Panacot on it. However, Professor Li Xiaocong of China pointed out that the label Panacot in the 1734 map was not Scarborough Shoal, and the three groups of islands, Galit, Panacot and Lumbay also appeared in the map published by China in 1717.

  30.  @BINI_Maloi_Colet  Can't you see that it's the US that's trying to provoke a new conflict, this time in Asia? The US has been involved in Vietnam War, Korean War, Iraq War, Afghan War, and if the conflict goes badly, they simply pull out like the Fall of Saigon where US pulled out of South Vietnam. Or the Fall of Kabul where the US pulled out of Afghanistan, leaving behind their Afghan allies. Don't you think the same's going to happen to the Philippines if conflict breaks out in Asia?

  31.  @Winters777  I literally gave you the article detailing Duterte's gentleman's agreement, but you just pretend it doesn't exist, claiming "There's no status quo there's no gentleman's agreement", then perhaps you're the one living in imagination.

  32.  @Winters777  Who gives them the right to be world policemen? The US involved itself in Iraq War, Afghan War. Even the UN Secretary Kofi Annan said that the Iraq invasion was illegal and that it violated UN charter. Yet countries are so willing to follow the US into another war? Like how the US is trying to provoke another one in Asia?

  33.  @BINI_Maloi_Colet  Look at the Ukraine, they went against Russia thinking that the US has their back. But US has a history of withdrawing from conflicts once they lose interest. Think Vietnam or Afghanistan, and perhaps soon-to-be Ukraine, and are you sure you want Philippines to experience the same thing like the Fall of Saigon or the Fall of Kabul?

  34.  @jayztv3345  Republic of China published the Eleven Dash Line in 1947. Back then, even the Philippines did not protest China's claim to the South China Sea. Even the Americans reminded the Philippines that the Spratly Islands wasn't Philippines territory as per the 1898 Treaty of Paris.

  35.  @wlakongpake  So the Sierra Madre is also part of your imagination? Then why Philippines keep sending supply ships to reinforce the decaying hull of this grounded vessel?
    3
  36.  @edzdeguzman612  So Philippines listen to King of Spain in 1734? Then why not Philippines follow the maritime boundary marked out in the 1898 Treaty of Paris? The Treaty of Paris does not include South China Sea islands as within Philippine territory. (Source: Wikipedia: File: Ph boundary in Treaty of Paris 1898)

  37.  @Todd-rk2lb  Look up the Sierra Madre. It's a rusty ship that Phillipines parked in the Second Thomas Shoal in order to stake its claim. Instead accepting Chinese help in repairing the vessel, the Philippines continues to send supply ships to reinforce the decaying hull of the grounded vessel.

  38. It's known internationally as the South China Sea, not the West Philippines Sea. Also, the maritime boundary of Philippines is drawn up in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, which DOES NOT include the South China Sea Islands as within Philippines territory. (Source: Wikipedia: File: Ph boundary in Treaty of Paris 1898)

  41.  @mrkaizagaming2652  If you don't want Wikipedia, another article entitled The Treaty Limits of the Philippines (By ResearchGate) also shows Philippines maritime boundary in the Treaty of Paris and it DOES NOT include the South China Sea Islands as within Philippine territory.

  42.  @axisense8651  I've got the guts to present China's point of view regarding the South China Sea issue. The Philippines parked a rusty vessel in the Second Thomas Shoal in order to stake a claim, periodically sending in supply ships to reinforce the decaying hull of the Sierra Madre. How's that following the rule of law?

  43.  @Mikoyuu71  Philippines never went to the ICJ. The tribunal arbitration was performed by the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) which is NOT an official UN agency unlike the ICJ. So why are you claiming that UNCLOS is an international UN body when the PCA is not an official UN agency? The fact is that Philippines signed up to the Code of Conduct on South China Sea, and violated it by seeking out 3rd party arbitration instead of resolving disputes bilaterally.
    2
  44.  @ronwaldoilagan6045  "Shenzhou. . An agreement must be followed." What's the name of the agreement then? Philippines signed up to the Code of Conduct which stipulated that countries will resolve territorial disputes bilaterally, yet Philippines violated that agreement and instead chose 3rd party arbitration in the Hague. "it was your government that initially militarized and constructed artificial islands." Prove it. I've stated that Vietnam built the first artificial island on Spratly Island in 1976. Two years later, the Philippines militarized Thitu Island in 1978. China is a late-comer to the island building scene, only begining construction in 2014, so how is China the first? "ruining the marine environment" China actually impose a fishing ban on the South China Sea that lasts from May to Sept, in order to allow fishes to reproduce and replenish their stock. Philippines is the one protesting China's fishing ban, yet now you're accusing China of ruining the marine environment?

  45.  @paradoxine6287  If you don't want Wikipedia, then an article entitled The Treaty Limits of the Philippines (by ResearchGate) also denotes Philippines maritime boundary by the 1898 Treaty of Paris, in which the South China Sea is not included within Philippine territory.

  47.  @defaultname354  "Shenzhou. since when was Paris a power in anything ?" Paris is merely the location in which the Treaty of Paris is signed, not that the country that the city is located in has the power to enforce the treaty or anything.

  48.  @lydiawhite8320  "they have an old map that show some part you called China Sea belong to Philippines which now called West Philippines Sea." Lol, not only I call it the South China Sea but the rest of the world does. The so-called West Philippine Sea is not the internationally recognized name for the region. The sea is know internationally as the South China Sea, so why are you trying to make it sound like I'm using incorrect nomenclature?

  49.  @jayztv3345  Taiwan also shares the claim that the South China Sea Islands are part of China.

  50.  @AvanguardInvinsible3740  Philippines intentionally grounded a ship on the Second Thomas Shoal. China offered to help repair the damaged vessel and get it back to the sea, but Philippines refused and instead they send supply ships to reinforce the decaying hull of the BRP Sierra Madre, how's this not stealing territory?
