Parañaque City enclave exclusively Mainland Chinese

Reds in the bed 😬

I like how they slip in "draft age" without mentioning that's the same age as people employed in the very industries mentioned.

Xenophobia, racism, stupidity, and pathetic arguments all rolled into one idiotic piece.

OMG

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Manila

They've taken over Queens and are setting up sleeper cells.

There's no evidence for that - I just made a stupid claim.

Bum!

I forgot blind paranoia

MANILA, Philippines — The presence of Chinese militia at an exclusive village in Parañaque City has been proven false, police said, citing its investigation.

Well thanks gents.. that woke things up a little

happy trails

I dislike moronic propaganda that uses fear to push xenophobia.

Absolutely no serious evidence is being offered - just ignorance and fear

Sad as it is, many people assume utter crap like this has truth behind it.

Oh no, the rich homeowners are getting nervous. Poor darlings. Maybe they should go to an all white country. They would feel much more at home. Oh wait, what if they are rich Filipinos? That wouldn't work would it? They would then be called the invaders.

Just can't win, can you?

During my morning news reading marathon, I found this

https://www.businessinsider.com/china-f … len-2024-4

It's complaining about how China has made solar panels so cheap and easy to get hold of, people are installing them in handy places.

It also complains more expensive panels aren't being bought because they aren't as good or .. yes .. more expensive.

Drrrrrrrr.

It's pushing a narrative about how China is evil for doing the above in a world where fossil fuel usage is making a bloody mess.

Dumb people will blame China for giving them a cheap way to save a pile of cash over time, and helping them slow down climate change.

Idiots with read the story over a beer and moan about China being evil.

@Fred Agree 100% with you Fred. There's always been rampant xenophobia though, hasn't there. From the different coloured tribes of the stone ages to the crusades and then the European Empire building right through to the colonists of Australia, Africa, America, and then the Nazis of WWII and beyond, right up to today. I guess humans (rich ones) just aren't all that suffishticayted. What can you do.

Fred said . . . . OMG, They've taken over Queens and are setting up sleeper cells.

Yes, bigger prisons and more cells.
   

   

I think we are well into trolling now.

Well anyway, apparently the Chinese have been locals in the Philippines for a long time .. although not that many Chinese expats compared with other Southeast Asian countries.

Quote: Tatler ..

"In this article, Tatler lists the lesser-known facts about the Chinese immigration and culture in the Philippines

Statistics reveal that the ethnic Chinese in the Philippines are numerically the smallest among Southeast Asian countries, with estimates ranging from 600,000 to 900,000, and fewer than 150,000 being foreign-born.

Contrary to its number, the Chinese culture in the Philippines has always been vibrant.

The earliest accounts of Chinese immigration occurred between the 16th and 19th centuries.

Called sangleys, these immigrants were  “businessmen” or “frequent visitors”, which is the basis for using the said Hokkien Chinese term.

However, some records claim that the Filipino-Chinese relations go way back.

According to the Cordillera Central and the pre-Hispanic Philippines historian William Henry Scott, Filipinos had already been to China before 1500.

The first Philippine tribute mission to China reportedly came from Butuan on March 17, 1001."

@Fred

Do you also think that the "shoal conflict", Taiwan terror, black sand theft and the NPA are all just made up stories?

The reality is, that if no attention is brought to the forefront, not enough people pay attention.

All of the above, that I mentioned, are very VERY real, caused/supported by the same "players in question" and ALL started out as "stories" told by these so-called xenophobes.

Xenophobia was the claim when many thousands of "draft age" muslim men were "refugees" to Europe, in recent years, with almost no women/children, and these same refugees have created problems of MASSIVE magnitude, EVERYWHERE they were ignored.

    @Fred
black sand theft

Yes, those Indians are terrible .... or is it only bad when you can blame the Chinese?

    @Fred

shoal conflict

    -@muskegonconsulting

Is that the one where the US is complaining About China militarising Islands?

Thank your favourite diety we have the US to protect the area. It's really lucky America invaded and militarised Hawaii and Guam so we have their massive forces nearby.

@Fred

Taiwan terror   

I think the earthquake was a natural thing

"draft age" muslim men

That's so last set of wars. You're supposed to hate the Chinese now.

Also, you should support Vietnam (The country that kicked your arses) as the US is now arming the same communist government that killed so many of your people.

Geopolitics - Great for profits, and a set of ideal causes for unthinking fools to support.

It appears that Fred has officially drank the kool aid.

OMG - london has a Chinatown- The bloody commie capitalists have opened restaurants and loads of other businesses

Run for the hills!

OMG (2)

Loads of draft age American military personnel are manning new bases in the Philippines

Did you employ AI for that wonderful prose?

I don't especially like what China is doing, but at least they don't bomb their way to doing it.

As for the total paranoia displayed in the opening post, that's what middle fingers were invented for.

Haha, Bob.

For years folk lived quietly on Palawan, a remote and lovely Philippine island.

Suddenly 6 years ago, Palawan became just 100  miles from China's borders.

This week China's water-bombed Phil's navy and fired flares at Aussie planes.

Don't tell folk that China demonstrates peaceful intentions and pinoys paranoid.

China’s claims in South China Sea ‘proposed by continuous boundary for the first time’

By Stephen Chen in Beijing.   Published: 22nd April 2018

"A continuous boundary in the South China Sea being drawn by Chinese government scientists will be based partly on a map approved and published by Beijing in 1951.

China’s claims in South China Sea ‘proposed by continuous boundary for the first time’  Joining of the nine-dash line by scientists is based partly on 1951 map that ‘furthers the certainty of China’s seas’

The new boundary will help to define more clearly China’s claims in the contested region, but it is not clear whether or when it will be officially adopted by Beijing, the scientist said ... "

fired flares at Aussie planes.

    -@Col Rootentoot

The Australian helicopter was just outside China's airspace, not off the Australian coast.

It was enforcing sanctions not recognised by most countries.

The helicopter was operating from HMAS Hobart (III)

https://www.navy.gov.au/capabilities/sh … hobart-iii

The Hobart Class provides air defence for accompanying ships, land forces and infrastructure in coastal areas, and for self-protection against missiles and aircraft. The Aegis Combat System incorporating the state-of-the-art phased array radar and the SM-2 missile provides an advanced air defence system capable of engaging enemy aircraft and missiles at ranges in excess of 150km.

The Hobart Class carries a helicopter for surveillance and response to support key warfare areas. The surface warfare function includes long-range anti-ship missiles and a naval gun capable of firing extended range munitions in support of land forces.

In other words, a spying mission from a ship that constitutes a serious danger to Chinese coastal defences was just off their coastline.

Have a video of the area

It shows literally thousands of draft age (That's draft beer drinking age) chinese with AK47 assault rifles (Chinese rip offs, of course)

Fred does not live in the Philippines, has never lived in the Philippines and never intends to live in the Philippines.

For years he has not contributed any useful information for future expats or current expats in the Philippines.

It's time to reign him in.

I am told by the better half that I spend far too much time on the 2 expat sites I am involved with in the "PHILIPPINES" and care little to scour other countries sites, bad enough 2 hours of international news. Sure I'm retired and do have plenty of time but not enough to contribute nor stick my nose into other countries expat sites.

Perhaps we all need to get out a bit more?

Our boy Labrador was neutered yesterday and that is keeping me off the streets, his sisters turn in 2 weeks so a month of surgical collars and keeping them separated, no time to argue bias political diatribe.

OMO.

Cheers, Steve.

****

Ye gods- This topic is really bringing out the worst traits of racism and xenophobia.

One sensationalist story in a cheap and nasty rag is being used as a reason to hate the Chinese.

Pathetic
