these days about China’s massive terraforming operations in the South China Sea, which not long ago exercised neighbours as well as the United States. But that does not mean China is any less assertive in the 1.4m square-mile sea which, on the flimsiest grounds, it claims pretty much in its entirety. On the contrary, China seems to think its artificial islands allow it to open a new phase of self-assertion in the face of the South-East Asian countries with overlapping claims in the sea.
Vietnam, in particular, is alarmed. In 2014 China towed an oil platform into Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone , sparking a stand-off between Chinese and Vietnamese maritime militias and big anti-China protests in Vietnamese cities. The platform was subsequently removed, but China recently unveiled a new, even bigger one.
Yet not everything is going China’s way. Rumours suggest the new islands’ concrete is crumbling and their foundations turning to sponge in a hostile climate. And that is before considering what a direct hit from a super-typhoon might do.
China must in no way be allowed to bully other countries who also have a natural right to the south China sea. As long as they have shore next to the sea ,they also have a right. It could also be an international water way, cos its NOT a CANAL.
How dare evil Britain judge other country's behavior on the sea. Your navy had robbed so many countries to became what you are now. so you think everyone else must be doing the same. it's a joke.
World astounded that China seeks increasing control of Hong Kong. 'We just did not see this coming, ' states every politically naive human on planet.
StandWithHongKong CHINA is extending its predatory, draconian claws over regions less capable of speaking up/ defending themselves - 🇭🇰is trying hard to defend itself from being encroached by 🇨🇳 too -we only need to read History to see the future🌎HongKongProtests = SOS call
With dragons ? My god thats like 2100
The Chinese aren’t idiots they know America’s weak right now. They won’t waste a chance to take advantage of this, the chance won’t last forever.
... ceterum censeo sinarum esse delendam.
So basically only US navy warships are allowed be sea bullies and sail in contested waters
So much for minding its own business and not invading other countries China70yearsOfShame
