just in case you were busy reading about the cocaine found in the WH or other nonsense headlines in the news, you might want to recognize that war in the Pacific could erupt in the near future.
and the war could start with a false flag incident, or with a genuine accident, or a genuine act of Chinese aggression camoflagued as an accident, and which will be promoted by their bought minions as the fault of the US/Philippines/neutral country who is just trying to ship stuff through the area.
Here is the observation of Professor H.J. Mackinder on what's going on:
The Chinese have beens swarming against Filipino fishermen, overfishing the area, destroying the ecology to build artificial islands, and sending threatening messages to ships and planes that cross this area which is legally international waters.
This is a threat not just to the Philippines and Viet Nam, but if not stopped could block the shipping routes to Korea, Japan and eastern Russia.
Duterte tried to make nice with China: This podcast says it was bribes (duh) but actually the CIA was doing a stealth effort to undermine him: including not letting police have weapons saying it was because of the drug war, a very popular war against criminals who were threatening to make the Philippines a narco state, and who were behind a huge upsurge in crime (several of our neighbors were killed by druggies in home invasion thefts, and this doesn't count several other murders which were ordinary arguments that escalated into murder by ordinary folk under the influence of drugs, such as the 17 year old girl killed by her boyfriend).
The Phil Inquirer notes the latest Chinese swarms, which were becoming common in areas that are recognized by everyone (but not by China) as international waters, are now happening within the Philippines economic zone under international law
PCG Commodore Jay Tarriela, maritime security adviser to the coast guard chief, said in an interview with dzBB radio that it was the first time that such a large number of Chinese vessels were seen at Del Pilar (Iroquois) Reef and Escoda (Sabina) Shoal....
The Western Command (Wescom) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines reported on Friday that more than 50 Chinese maritime militia (CMM) vessels were seen “loitering” at Del Pilar and Escoda south of Recto Bank west of Palawan province...
Three China Coast Guard ships and two Chinese naval vessels also were seen in those waters which are well within the Philippines’ 370-kilometer exclusive economic zone (EEZ), Wescom said.

From Wikipedia:United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea
An exclusive economic zone (EEZ), as prescribed by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, is an area of the sea in which a sovereign state has special rights regarding the exploration and use of marine resources, including energy production from water and wind.
this is more than stealing the fish from Philipino fishermen. There are huge natural gas deposits there (which the Chinese have been trying to steal by saying they will cooperate with the Philippines, and years ago they were caught bribing one politician and she was forced to stop giving it away due to public opinion and push back by the courts).
But this area also is a strategic shipping lane for ships going to China, Korea, and Japan.
And by threatening the Philippines, they are trying to stop the Philippines from helping other allies who might stop China from invading Taiwan.
China is watching what happens in the Ukraine: to see if the west might be willing to go to war
A weakened Biden and a Defense Department who seems to be more interested in pushing transgender agenda than finding people to fight a war, and several visits by US big shots that seem to be begging China to play nice are also encouraging China to think that a US won't stop them. And of course, the moves of Biden to destroy their political opponants on many levels suggest a US in so much political turmoil during next year's election cycle that the public won't support a war.
In the meanwhile, Chinese propaganda in the media continues.
So why does a live action Barbie movie show China's dashed line on a map? There is no reason to do this, except as propaganda to normalize people to think that line is legal: And it also shows China has influence over Hollywood movie plots.
fAST FORWARD TO 32 MINUTES.
Viet Nam, who already had one war with CHina over their grab of their islands, has already banned the film.
As the guys note: Maps do not have dashed lines on them. So why was this put into a distorted map on a movie that has nothing to do with anything? fast forward to 41 minutes and they explain what this is about.
sigh.
