🇨🇳 CCPChina is the major threat to all Pacific countries

China is murderer and dictator. Please stop China dictatorship CCP_is_terrorist

Glad to see this! CCP always want to control all the island in Asia.

This is a good example of cooperation between countries in the free world to counter China's hegemony🤓👍

China takes advantage of neighbor countries in South China Sea by building up Army. It violates agreements (again) between countries. This is the last chance to stop CCP from ever-expanding power & finally controlled the whole area & resources inside.

What do isles do with USA? It’s not even Asia country. Mind your own racism problem in North America.

I think someone left words out of this tweet. Seriously though. Wtf is it saying?

Wait, shouldn't the treaty be between the countries that are in dispute, that's like the US and brazil having a treaty for the disputed area on the Canadian border.

Yeah!! I find suspicious that the PM suddenly is “ stepping down” because of health reasons!!! Yeah sure!!!! the hands of russia is everywhere

Wasn’t that confirm already by the current US administration already?!
