Yeah drowning/starving at sea seems no bueno.
When they don’t help, it proves they are malicious. When they do help, this is but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard

China didn’t want to get caught with proof killing Filipinos in Filipino claimed waters.
If they were found not helping, it was proof of their malevolence.
On the other hand, If they were found helping, it was merely because it was a cheap propaganda win and because they didn’t want to get caught with proof killing Filipinos in Filipino claimed waters.
The Chinese ship actively blocking a rescue operation until they fully understood the potential blowback.

That’s your bad faith interpretation based on what one party is saying about the incident. (Especially the “potential blowback”).
Whereas Singaporean state media states more neutrally:
The Chinese ships ceased these actions and offered to help after being informed about the “humanitarian mission”, it [Philippine Coast Guard] added.
Which is reasonable, because China was operating on previous experiences. The Chinese adapted once they got more information about the situation (which they were under no obligation to and wouldn’t do if they wouldn’t have taken the Philippine Coast Guard in good faith). What did you want them to do? nOt bE tHeRE iN tHe FirsTplAce", amirite?
Why has there been such an influx of idiots lately?
you trying to imply they actually wanted to kill the person they rescued?
What are you talking about?
The words they used.
I am severely confused

Isn’t this like once a year. Not news.
So they helped, once they stopped threatening to attack. Minimum standard of decency.
