The arrests come as confrontations between the two Asian neighbours over contested reefs and waters in the strategic South China Sea have escalated in recent months

The men, using a drone and high-resolution solar-powered camera, recorded activities at a naval base, a coast guard station, an air base and a dockyard in Palawan province, the closest major lan director Jaime Santiago told a joint news conference.

    Yes however the reason the false charges against labor organizers are believable is due to Chinese activities there. Both things can be true. I don’t think labor organizers are in possession of Chinese drone footage and radio equipment.

      Anyone with a Temu account can be in possession of it.

        Chinese drone footage and radio equipment.

        Note the distinction I said footage. Yes anyone can buy a radio and a drone. But buying that drone won’t put them in possession of aerial footage of a US Joint Base.
