Do you guys realize what the PLA was trying to do here with its naval vessel?
Another night of sleeping on what happened with the collision between the Chinese
naval destroyer and its Chinese coast guard vessels in the Scarborough shore when they're
trying to chase after a coast guard ship from the Philippines and also reading up on the comments
from the first video that we did yesterday and honestly I can't help but think that something
worse could have happened and it was for a very specific purpose. For example, this one here,
I honestly think they got the analysis spot on. I'll read it to you. It says,
China's coast guard ships was chasing it and even trying to use the water cannon on it.
Look closely. It all turned crazy once the large Chinese naval ship entered the fray.
So what was their intention? I honestly believe that the large Chinese navy ship intended to ram
the Filipino smaller coast guard ship, which is true, but they miscalculated and they weren't
in proper coordination with the Chinese coast guard ship chasing the Filipino coast guard ship,
so you ended up with this massive blunder. If the Filipino ship was a bit slower,
it probably would have been directly hit by the large Chinese navy ship,
suffered catastrophic damage to the point that the crew would literally be in the water
and the Chinese coast guards could take them in as prisoners, etc. That was like the intention.
So this thought came to my mind and I can't help but believe honestly, like I'm kind of sweating
like cold sweat thinking about this, which is what exactly were they trying to do in the area?
If maybe that the PLA navy destroyer was actually tasked with escalation. Okay, hear me out, okay?
This might sound like a crazy theory, but it's not so crazy. So in the last week or so, I've been
hearing a lot of information, some of them rumors about how there's the Beidaihe meeting right now
happening, right? Where Xi Jinping and the CCP elders are discussing about his future.
And part of this was that Xi Jinping allegedly promised that he would give away some of the
titles he currently holds in exchange for a safe exit, so he won't be politically charged or face
something like a punishment for these things, considering the fact that he has lost his military
power, in essence, lost his control of the real power in the CCP. But he has gone since back and
forth on this promise of stepping back, essentially. And to the point where it feels like now, this
whole escalation or attempting to escalate with the naval vessel, which by the way, this is
clearly an escalation already, considering it was the fact that it used to be a coast guard versus
coast guard situation, now has become that the navy has been involved, right? But it's not an
intention to invade the Scarborough Shoal, given the fact that this is one ship. If they really
wanted to invade, they would send in a fleet or they would use force and it can be done, right?
This is not something that they don't have the military power to do so. But it's one ship, so it's
clearly escalation. That's what they're looking for. The PLA Navy is Xi Jinping's home base for
power in the military. He's tried to cultivate this, the branch of the military for the past
decade or so. And some of his closest allies come from the navy. It's also the one where they have
to prepare the most for the Taiwan invasion. So you can see that the emphasis on the navy being
the all out and powerful is very important for Xi Jinping. And so that's where I think that this was
an incalculated risk that he was willing to take in order for things to change in his own power.
Even though the Guilin, which is the Chinese destroyer, serves in the Southern Theater
Command, which by the way is controlled by Zhang Youxia, who currently holds the real military
power as the vice chairman. He's rendered Xi Jinping powerless that way. The influence of
the navy in itself, which spans across the East Theater, the South Theater, and other areas as
well, is much greater, right? So you're bound to have certain generals who are in those different
theaters, but still loyal to Xi Jinping. Here's some photos from the Guilin boat doing an activity
promoting Xi Jinping's thoughts on military. Now the captain of Guilin destroyer here is featured
in these photos and in this propaganda news piece from 2022. So far we have no other information
that I can find or have been talked about from this boat, other than the fact that it was involved
in the recent incident. And so there's no, like literally no update as to if this guy still serves
as the captain or not, but on Chinese ships there is something unique. There's actually two
commanding officers. One is the captain, which is responsible for the military duty, and the other
one is the political commissar, which is responsible for the party or the political duty or the
political mission, right? So there's really no way to tell this command to ram comes from who, but
if there is a task assigned to the political commissar of the ship to say that, yeah, you need
to do this in order to help me achieve a political objective, I mean, in some instances
that political command overrides the military one, right? So if I had to guess, the political
commissar issued that command. So it's very possible that the order to escalate was given by
the political commanding officer. So I went back and looked at some of the video footage again, and
it's very clear. You see that the destroyer and the coast guard ships, they were about to pinch
in on the Filipino ship, which is called Suluan, but because of the superior seamanship of the
Filipino side, and by the way, that woman, like in the aftermath, you see it, she just looks very
relaxed and it's like, it's just another day in the ocean, right? Big props to her, but she's
honestly a true warrior for going through this situation. But imagine just had she not been fast
enough, because in the footage, you see it, that the Suluan made a sharp left turn from the head
of its ship to basically narrowly escape this pincer attack. And then the incoming destroyer,
which in the footage is to the left of the camera, it's coming just straight at it, right?
And then on the right side, or before the collision happened, you see that the coast
guard ship from China was actually trying to go to the right side. So it almost seems like they
were crossing into each other. Again, whether this was a mistake, an error, or intentional,
who knows? But I think the point is they were trying to do this pinch or pincer attack onto
the Filipino coast guard ship, but it didn't end up happening, of course. Otherwise, imagine
what would be the aftermath of that today. Because think about it, we saw the impact of the collision
between the destroyer and a much bigger coast guard ship, which by the way is converted from a
warship in the PLA Navy to begin with. Now imagine the smaller coast guard ship, imagine what would
happen if that 7,500 or 8,500 fully loaded, 8,500 tons by the way, of that destroyer class just
going straight at the smaller boat. You're bound to have injuries or worse, right? So in that
situation, it's really bad. And what's going to happen after that? That's going to turn into a
military escalation. That's going to be a confrontation between the Philippines and China.
Who stands to benefit the most in this situation? Well, Xi Jinping. Because in that scenario, it
becomes a national security crisis for the CCP, and they have to let Xi Jinping take control
somehow, right? So in that sense, you're essentially giving back or you're giving excuses for Xi Jinping
to claw back power. And so that's where I think it's very interesting why this suddenly happened.
Because there's no reason, again, there's no reason for a PLA Navy ship to get involved in
this. Because what they've done is, again, if they try to use hard military powers to take over
the aisles in the South China Sea, they could have done this a long time ago, right? They don't need
to resort to gray zone warfare if they really wanted to turn the situation into one that's
very dire. But by doing these so-called smaller escalations, it achieves a political objective
more than a military one. Just thinking about it now, Xi Jinping has to resort to different
little tricks to try to claw back his leadership power. Had he kept up his supplements,
I think he wouldn't be here today. And that's why I got this great one for your gym bros out there.
This is Optinor, a new natural supplement targeting NAD plus levels. Now, if you don't
know what that is, it's your body, your muscle cells actually require NAD plus as a coenzyme
to convert your carbohydrates, proteins and fats into usable energy cells called ATP.
Now, if you have lower NAD plus levels, which naturally happens as you age, it can hinder a lot
of your conversion of your energy sources. Obviously, it causes a lot of delays to the
process in your mitochondria, which is the powerhouse of your cells. And without enough
NAD plus, you recover slower, you fatigue faster, and simply your gains, they're going to start to
plateau because you won't be hitting those performance at the gym. So the Optinor NAD
plus Optimo gives you the full boost of the precursors to the NAD plus, which is called
nicotinamide riboside. And this is the most efficient precursor for NAD plus. This is also
stacked with methylation support with natural products like ginseng, goji berry, and He Shou Wu,
which are proven natural medicinal herbs and ingredients that help to boost your internal
functions, which are antioxidants to fight off workout induced oxidative stress and adaptogenic
herbs to keep cortisol levels in check, which means you recover faster, you build muscles and
become stronger, and of course, you feel sharper. Don't miss out, click the link below and enter

PLA Navy, Melhua for example, PLA political commissar at the highest level has been purged
from his ranks and he is a Xi ally, right? At the same time he's been purged, they're trying to
clean house of Melhua's influence in the Navy. So that means a lot of the admirals and commanding
officers who are loyal to Xi are bound to think of that if they're facing purge themselves, why sit
around and wait rather than maybe they can do something proactive to try to change the current
situation. And that aligns with Xi Jinping's need to return to power. So what if they were to do
something or they were told to do something in those situations? So at the end of the day though,
it's good that this didn't turn out to be an international confrontation where it could
escalate into a regional conflict or much worse. But if you look at the videos again in the beginning
you see that the people were in front of the boats. It's been two days and there's no mention
of these soldiers, their status or just what happened to them. And in some of the other videos
you actually see people floating in the water. Again there's no mentions of rescues from the
Chinese side. All Chinese internet is seeing is how that they bravely defended their sovereignty
or so-called sovereignty in the waters. Yeah which is very typical of an image protecting
move by the CCP. But deep down I think there's power politics at play and that's why they did
this. So thank you so much for watching this episode and hope you enjoy the video. Let me
know your thoughts in the comments about this. I'd love to hear what you think about the situation
