Invasions tolerated 😉
The USA literally has a military base in the Philippines, and the EU has never done anything about it.
What aggression are those bases causing?
What business is it of hers what goes on in the Indo-Pacific region?
This scumbag is just a US puppet.
Her veiled rhetoric echoed that of US leaders, who have raised alarms over China's increasingly aggressive actions in the disputed South China Sea.
What aggression? China is on its side of the planet. The US has its army parked outside constantly trying to provoke an incident.
Is it ok for China to agress its weaker neighbors then? And who should those countries turn towards for help? And how do you expect this help to materialize in practice?
Where is China "aggressing" anyone? Do you think the USA, lol, is there to protect anyone? The USA?
The most murderous and aggressive psycho country in the world?

I don't do whataboutism, two things can be evil at the same time, you know.
Almost every country in the world has territorial disputes. So what? Again, what aggression? (Third time asking)
Why do you think that China's are any of the USA's business?
You need to learn what "whataboutism" means before you use it again.
Almost every country in the world has territorial disputes.
Again a whataboutism, the existence of other countries doing shitty things is no excuse for China doing the same.
So what? Again, what aggression? (Third time asking)
I gave you the full list, I don't think you are arguing in good faith so I don't see the point. Though if you have time to waste I am willing to be entertained by your take on the construction of artificial islands and military outposts in the Paracel Islands, surely China isn't the agressor and definitely not in violation of international maritime law despite what those pesky tribunals say.
Again a whataboutism
Again, you need to learn what that word means.
You made an allegation that China was being aggressive.
I said, how? Give me an example.
You said they had territorial disputes.
I said, so does everyone... so what? and now your response is
That's not an excuse for China being aggressive.
You've provided nothing to back up your accusation. Nothing at all.
Vietnam started building artificial islands. China responded in kind. This is normal shit for any country with territorial disputes.
Taiwan, an independent nation, is regularly antagonized by China.
Eg:

You mean in response to America's aggressive actions in the region they have zero business being in?
"Taiwan’s representative office in the U.S. said the administration’s decision to pull arms and other materiel from its stores provided “an important tool to support Taiwan’s self-defense.” In a statement, it pledged to work with the United States to maintain “peace, stability and the status quo across the Taiwan Strait.” "
So are you gonna tell the US to bring their ships to their home bases? Maybe give back the illegally stolen islands that make up the state of Hawaii?
