#China has a population over 10 times the #Philippines, they have about 32 times the physical size & a gross domestic product 33 times the size of the Philippines.
So what was Xi Jinping compensating for when Chinese Coast Guard boarded Philippines’ boats with hammers, knives & machetes, punctured navy boats, wounded Filipino sailors (including one who lost his right thumb) and stole rifles? Most people will say: geographic position in the #SouthChinaSea, but only Xi‘s lovers know for sure. 😉
