been trying to turn the South China Sea, which is bigger than the Mediterranean, into a Chinese lake for the better part of a decade. In the Spratly archipelago, which is claimed wholly or in part by Brunei, China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam, it has built 13 square kilometres of artificial islands atop specks of reef and rock. The constructions bristle with missiles and bomber-sized bunkers.
Earlier this month America pushed back in a new way. Its secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, declared that China’s claims to offshore resources in the South China Sea were “completely unlawful, as is its campaign of bullying.” Much like the abrupt demand this week that China immediately close its consulate in Houston, the statement constituted a new salvo in America’s ever-expanding hostilities with China.
America has always rejected China’s expansive claims in the sea, but Mr Pompeo is far more emphatic than the administration of Barack Obama was at the time of the ruling. Not one of the specks China occupies in the Spratlys, he reiterated, counts as a proper island, which would come with a 200-nautical-mile “exclusive economic zone”. Nor does China have rights around Scarborough Shoal, where its activity, the tribunal ruled, infringed on Philippine rights.

China dosent want a war, America wont give China a war, time for the countries in and around the South 'china' sea to step up and confront china. China wont last forever, stop buying chinese cheap product.
Well, England sure knows how to retreat.
China don't play .. they build air craft carriers!
It’s time for Japan to remilitarize...
Wrong. Before China goes to war over the south China sea: China will sale USA treasury bonds to cripple USA economy then double down militarily over the south China sea.
The US will not let China's ridiculous and illegal territorial claims go unchallenged.
China needs to be broken up into a bout a dozen smaller States.
That is a path to war. Maybe China believes World War 3 has the possibility of a winner.
Global trouble maker. They love to steal islands from the West Philippine Sea. Disgusting selfish attitude 🤢💩
From a country which literally stopped a soverign country from deploying missiles (Cuba Missile Crisis)
they are not
If you want to help China, DEMAND AN END TO THE COMMUNIST PARTY GOVERNMENT in China. Free the Chinese PEOPLE from the lies of CENSORSHIP, CORRUPTION, DECEPTION, & LIES. Bring justice for doctor Li Wenliang. FREE the PEOPLE.
China is pursuing a course to perdition like Nazi Germany and will meet the same fate as Hitler's Third Reiche and the Imperial Germany before that.
Lots of economic interests for the US. Why not have the US AND all other Asian countries confront China?
After World War II, why did the US government support the Chiang Kai-shek government in delineating the current border in the South China Sea? If the PRC government does not adhere to this boundary, the people will regard it as a traitor.
There were 10 million Indians when the colonists landed on the American continent. After 400 years of slaughter, fewer than 200, 000 remain. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation.
Fuk China, India is the new wave, cheaper labor now and better government. The rest of world including the US should pull back Fromm China, they are wanna b bully’s. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You know Hawaii is not belong to US. Free Hawaii.
This can only be handled by joint navies of Japan, Australia, India, Taiwan locally. The US would probably not get into another war half way around the globe without a serious advantage. The local power dynamic will remain important to the former countries..
Hawaii does not really belong to the United States. The Arrival of the American colony on the Hawaiian islands in 1989 was a disaster for the indigenous people there.
The did a great job in spratley's islands in china sea without considering Vietnamese claim on spratley
China makes a spider web...but for whom ? For Russia
Naturally
Agreed. They're bolstered by the lack of coordinated opposition to their efforts. But the idea that Chinese expansionism is a new thing is fine if you ignore Viet Nam, Tibet, and now Hong Kong.
return chagos islands to muaritius. you imperialists
And you people piss your pants and allow it.
It’s the election — Trump wants to be a Hero, Savior of Portland, Savior at Sea — makes me seasick... Campaign instruction to Policy staff: “ratchet everything up a notch”.
美国的无耻现在大部分人都已看清,网络这么发达,想藏住点什么太难了.
🙄
Somebody please take US outta the illusion that it's the gatekeeper of the world
Typical America armed the Taliban with modern weapons now those weapons are used against NATO American troops massively invested in China in the 1980s built it to the monster it is now Apple IBM poured money and technological knowhow that china has used to build up its military
Long overdue. China's creeping expansion into the sovereignty of its neighbors is the the execution of the CCP plan to establish a new unilateral hegemony.
CCP China is the new Nazi regime except that China's population is twenty five times that of Germany in 1938. There are so many grossly ignorant comments here in support of the CCP(China). People who haven't a clue about history and the current geopolitical crisis ALL of us face.

The trump regime wanted to provoke a dispute with China so that he could win the election as a wartime president
gasta! white people, go home.
American gesture and a propaganda device to set against the Marsha plan
What if the Chinese Navy also went to the California coast to advocate freedom of navigation?
Purely Trump raising the American peoples fear factor in order to try and win re-election.
A.I. was used to choose where to build what island, war was simulated with hundreds of thousands of different scenarios and A.I. found weak spots and China built islands there. They’re starting to realize this and have decided to set up camp to attempt to prevent a potential...
U said China Sea!!!! Get the fuck out there and come back home and leave China alone
Funny thing is American always assume they can win...And don't spend a minute think about what if they lose
What does this have to do with the US in any case? Not even remotely close.
The USA rhetoric is ridiculous
China likes to unilaterally claim stuff. One day they'll show up in San Fran and say 'mine'. And most of its occupants will probably say 'sure'.
What is the USA up to in South China sea apart from knowing the fact they have missiles only capable to reach 1,800 km ONLY?
So funny u said the US pushing back, What on earth has the us to do with South sea? This is a question that always pop in my mind
Call it something neutral as it is in international water. CCP uses the term South China Sea to legitimize their clam. We are dealing with shameless people using names as their advance regardless of international norm and history. Remember that!
En abril, China formalizó aún más sus reclamos territoriales en el Mar Meridional de China, pero Estados Unidos ha rechazado una nueva forma
