    I do not hate the Chinese, after all..... they make dish strainers and bath mats that float too!
    They also made my power washer with plastic motor mounts that melted, and after an RMA I got a better one that wouldn't run and leaked massive amounts of water to underneath it
    What's not to love about China????

    I think we have seen enough propaganda from eatup, China is still a communist country... rose colored glasses won't change that fact

    Also,

    If any country feels like engaging China in the South China Sea with their few warships/carrier attack groups in "freedom of navigation" patrols, that's only b/c they didn't read The Art of War...

    Better put your glasses on, He does NOT look "petrified" at all.


    Yeah, that would be a child's strategy... Initiating WWIII so near to your homeland.

    You are correct about one thing though, it WOULD be "messy" especially for the Chinese at first, the rest of the globe later.

    To quote the supercomputer from"Wargames" referencing thermonuclear war,
    "Strange game, the only winning move is not to play".

    OK. I think the expression on this American convoy's face says it all.

    Besides, you don't normally do a "combat air patrol" and arouse no sense of fear from the opponent:

    Having talked to some extent about Woody Island, the Spratly Islands, and Scarborough Shoal:

    I want to touch briefly on the Xisha islands, which are next to Woody Islands <-- China is also artificially building up the Xisha islands

    Typical.

    What do you plan on doing with that ? Bombing your own territory ?

    By contrast, the Japanese Okinotorishima artificial islands:

    (The dotted areas were normally submerged at high tide. The Japanese poured concrete over them to make them rise and claim a huge Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) around the area)
