it's the State Premiers/Territory Chief Ministers that have been involved in this stupidity.  The (Federal) Prime Minister has already begun the throes of having these 'undone'

I doubt there is any chance to change the contract without paying substantial compensation.

And the Philippines should tell China "And if you lot want to put troops on our soil, well, how about you pay 10% more than the Americans" .

Tibet, Xinjiang, Taiwan you won't have any more evidence than that published in western media. If you are gonna show me an article which shows some supposed papers signed by high profile Chinese politicians saying what to do with Xinjiang people. I can fire up Photoshop and give you one such decree signed by Donald Trump stating ThaiVisa is the best ????

 

The fact that you wholeheartedly believe it, does not mean it is not propaganda and/or fake evidence. 

 

And the disputes with the waters, I never said they didn't exist. But if you think the Chinese are the demon stealing other's waters, and the Americans altruistically send their troops to protect those waters for the good of the entire world, you've swallowed and assimilated lotta western propaganda ????

 

And the fact that the Americans are there helps a lot fuel those disputes, wait and see if the Americans go now that Duterte started complaining, and see what happens. I would bet with you nothing more will happen 

Q has spoken....now move on people....the All Seeing Eye from abroad has spoken about life in America ...Thanks..An American.....feel free to drop any source/ link to enlighten us...

 

If trump signed it then you know it must be TRUE!!!  The Sharpie knows ALL..can even change hurricane paths!!!! I mean look how Great he Made America!!!!
