What's the latest in the #APAC #AsiaPacific region?
1. #Japan showed support towards the #Philippines and condemned #China regarding its actions last Monday, which injured Philippine Navy members, and stole Navy armaments, among others.
2. China filed an official complaint against Japan, and told them “you have no right to meddle in the China-Philippine” row.
3. #Russia and #NoKor #NorthKorea signed a military alliance.
4. In response, #SoKor #SouthKorea (the #Korea ), just announced that they are considering sending armaments to #Ukraine.
5. #Malaysia is seeking support from China to join BRICS.
6. A few days later (yesterday), Malaysia made a statement that they only legally recognize China is the sole owner of #Taiwan.

Reactions:
A. I'm still fully supporting the idea of a Japan-Korea-Philippines alliance (and future confederacy).
B. #ASEAN is broken. Instead of supporting each other, it's a man for himself, and often we do things that can jeopardize another ASEAN member in one way or another, directly or indirectly.
C. I've said before that there is a China-Persia-Russia alliance.
A few weeks and months ago:
i. China has been playing games with the Philippines, trying to corner the Philippine Navy and Coastal Guards into making a mistake.
China will use it to trigger the China-Persia-Russia alliance, and as a justification for their military action against the Philippines.
So far, the Philippines kept its cool.
Earlier this week, Monday, China once again escalated things, which resulted in injury on the Philippines-side. Same attempt to make the Philippines do something that will only favor China.
ii. Iran tried to lure #Israel into a trap. But Israel did not fall for it.
This was Persian's attempt to trigger the China-Persia-Russia alliance.
Same tactic as China, but it failed.
iii. North Korea is a country that the former #USSR created (they intervened directly). When the Korea war started, it was China who supported them.
However, after the most recent regime change, NoKor became a wild and unstable country that neither China nor Russia can control.
With North Korea's sudden change in its stance re: South Korea (that started late 2023 and made worse in 2024), Russia found a chance to reign in North Korea, it's communist son.
iv. It wouldn't be surprising if China and North Korea signs a military alliance following Russia. Especially with how South Korea responded to the Russia-NoKor alliance.
This could eventually lead into folding NoKor into the China-Persia-Russia alliance, making it a China-NoKor-Persia-Russia alliance.
v. Meanwhile, the growing cooperation and potentially becoming an “Asian NATO”, might get new “members”.
Currently, we have the Philippines, the #USA, #Australia, and Japan. It wouldn't be surprising if South Korea starts to become active as well. For a few years now, South Korea's support was mainly providing discounts and some free ships to the Philippines, but never joined in any exercises nor made any statements.

Can you see what's going happening?
A new Allied and Axis forces are formally solidifying.
Allied:
* Philippines
* Japan
* Australia
* USA
With SoKor potentially joining soon.
And maybe #VietNam, if Russia no longer have any hold on VietNam's communist government. (VietNam's communism is Marxism.)
Axis:
* China
* Persia ( #Iran )
* Russia
* North Korea (might get folded in)
Let's not forget all the countries in continental #Africa and #SouthAmerica / #LatinAmerica who are under the strong influence of China… through their economies and investments from mainland Chinese investors/companies.
Which, we have seen in the ASEAN region already, thanks to Malaysia.
Speaking of ASEAN, Cambodia, Laos (Lao PDR; Marxism and Leninism), Myanmar (Burma; military regime), are known to be under a strong influence from China as well. Many attempts for a unified ASEAN stand re: China, were stopped through those three nations.
Now, add Malaysia to the mix, that's 4 out of 10 ASEAN members under China's leash.
While it may appear that the 21st Century Axis is small, their influence, through China, is actually very large. If war breaks out, the best those countries under China's leash can do is to stay neutral, which can affect the new Allied forces long-term.
Not to mention, as Sweden and Switzerland have proven, no nation can truly stay neutral permanently. With some coercion and promises from China, they can suddenly join the war, or find ways to support the Axis regime without directly entering the war. This is dangerous as many of these countries are sharing borders with Allied forces.
