The Chinese Map That Angered Putin — A Geopolitical Telenovela
When China released its updated map, the world raised eyebrows — but Russia? Nagtaas ng kilay hanggang bumbunan.
The map reportedly included sections of Russian territory, sparking diplomatic irritation in the Kremlin.
Para bang nagpa-family picture ang China, tapos sinama nila sarili nila sa picture frame ng kapitbahay.
This issue adds to rising tensions in the Asia-Pacific, where multiple nations — yes, including us Filipinos — have long contested China’s ambitious cartographic fantasies.
Pero eto ang twist:
Russia and China call each other “close allies”…
Yet here comes Beijing, drawing lines like a grade-schooler with confidence issues.
Kung ganito ang tropa mo, BFF, hindi ka mauubusan ng gulo.

Biblical Reflection
Proverbs 22:28 says:
“Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors.”
In short: bawal mang-angkin ng hindi sa’yo.
Imagine Putin looking at the map:
“Wait… bakit parang lumiit Russia?”
China: “Oh, that? Design choice lang.”
The world: 👀
