Investigative reporter Isabel Vincent pulls back the curtain on a shocking operation allegedly hiding in plain sight in the heart of Manhattan’s Chinatown — and the federal case that followed. What began as a tip about secret Chinese “police stations” quickly spiraled into a years-long investigation involving surveillance, intimidation, dissidents living in fear, and an FBI raid that stunned New Yorkers. With exclusive reporting, courtroom drama, and chilling firsthand accounts, this video traces how one quiet nonprofit became the center of an international espionage scandal. As guilty verdicts are handed down and questions swirl about Beijing’s reach inside the US, one thing becomes clear: the real story may go even deeper than anyone imagined.

It is hard to take China’s environmental commitments seriously when you look at the ecological disaster unfolding in the South China Sea.

• Massive Destruction: Through island building and "land reclamation," China has permanently destroyed over 20,000 acres of some of the world's most biodiverse coral reefs.
• Cyanide Fishing: Reports from the PCG and maritime experts indicate that Chinese fishing fleets and militia have been using cyanide to clear fishing grounds, effectively poisoning the ecosystem to facilitate easier harvests and territory marking.
• Long-term Impact: We aren't just talking about a few rocks; we’re talking about the backbone of the regional food chain being blasted and poisoned.

How can a nation claim leadership in environmental protection while actively committing "ecocide" for geopolitical gain?

Drink up!

when philippines?

The Philippines did not choose the geography of danger. It can only choose whether to meet it with confusion or with clarity.

That is the real issue behind the emerging language of a regional “kill web,” the military concept now being discussed among Indo-Pacific security partners as the United States looks at linking the capabilities of South Korea, Japan, and possibly the Philippines into a faster, more integrated defense network.

The phrase is severe, even unsettling. But the reality it describes is already here.

Modern deterrence no longer moves in a straight line from detection to response. It connects sensors, drones, ships, aircraft, missiles, satellites, command systems, and data across multiple domains, allowing one ally to detect, another to track, and another to respond.

For the Philippines, this is not theoretical. Luzon and Batanes sit near the Taiwan Strait and along the first island chain, where any major regional crisis would unfold in minutes.

A China-made drone for a Filipino civilian mission to the West Philippine Sea would not take off, as it received prompts that required the operator to register the unit with Chinese authorities.

According to Vonne Aquino's report on "24 Oras," the drone received the prompts even when the Atin Ito vessel was well within the Philippines, just 127 nautical miles from Mindoro.

I ordered supplements from shopee. I thought ordering directly from them would have been more sensible. But all I got from the chat with seller were all automated bullshit answers that didn't matter.

I ordered this April 16. It was supposed to arrive 2 days later. Their warehouse was in Bulacan. And my package was bouncing around different warehouses all over the Philippines. And now it's over in fucking Palawan for some godforsaken reason! Take note I'm only from Metro Manila!

And they have to gall to tell me that they can't do anything. Not even an apology. Just the customary automated response that was just a heartless copy paste of a supposedly sorry message. They won't even ship a new one again, oh I dunno maybe they'll fix this situation in the first place!

They are still threatening me that if I cancel, I will be the one who will ruin the record while they are the ones who don't care about the customer who has a bad attitude. They can't cancel it daw and since I don't have the means to cancel it on my end, I should just wait.

Wow, the bottle is in Palawan now. It looks like this fucking bottle of supplements will have to go around the country before I get it.

It doesn't matter, I ordered from someone else and I won't buy from them again. They are so rude. The supplements I ordered yesterday came first and arrived today.

They already lost a bottle of supplements, they lost a customer.

We understand that shopee courier is useless but the seller's answers to me clearly don't care about the one running and the one holding the shopee account!

Do not buy from them. I repeat, don't buy from them, Jan!
