#StopPoliticalPersecution The small aircraft flying over Scarborough Shoal are an even more pitiful sight. Unarmed, lacking proper flight-path support, and serving no urgent humanitarian purpose, they insist on skirting the edge of China’s Air Defense Identification Zone. Who are they performing for? The cameras. They gamble with pilots' lives merely to spin a narrative of being "bullied," garner a few lines of Western media coverage, and solicit international sympathy. Unable to play a meaningful diplomatic hand, they resort to such reckless stunts to assert their relevance; regardless of how juvenile this may be, the danger is very real.
