US tensions with China continue to rise, with Chinese maritime claims in the South China Sea continuing to loom large in the dispute, and risk becoming a flash point. China has announced a planned military exercise near the Paracel Islands, which is the latest issue.
The US doesn’t except China’s ownership of the islands, and the Pentagon condemned the exercises as “unlawful.” The US is also planning to make another announcement next week, though they did not say what it was be, beyond related to the exercise.
Historically, when it comes to the South China Sea, US measures are deliberately provocative, mostly deploying warships into the area to sail close to Chinese-claimed territory, and dare China to do something about it.
The South China Sea has a number of small islands claimed by multiple nations. The US has, as a policy, backed every other nation’s claims when they contradict China’s claims, while calling on everyone else to negotiate and solve their problems peacefully.
Why doesn’t the U. S. accept China’s ownership of Island the Chinese have actually built ? What if China should not accept ownership of aircraft carriers that United States has built and floats around all over the world . Think of the Chinese built island as stationary aircraft carriers
US Slams China’s South China Sea Exercises, but sends 2 aircraft carrier fleets to China’s South China Sea to show force……how stupid is that.
Just after we conducted large naval exercise in the South China Sea in order to strangle China’s trade routes if it comes to hostilities and that’s why China is building up militarily in that area. No nation likes to be strangled by empire seekers from the other side of the globe.
Seems it is in China’s best interest to keep South China’s Sea lanes open, as a matter of fact they do a much better job then we do promoting trade and stimulating the worlds economy. We in the US must be jealous because we just can’t accept the fact that we are no longer the worlds only “super power”. So what do we do accept reality or continue to bully and threaten until we start a war that could mushroom into the end of civilization as we know it.?
The US is so heavy with hypocrisy it should sink their navy.
“The US doesn’t except China’s ownership of the islands, and the Pentagon condemned the exercises as “unlawful.” ”
Okay, I know this is Jason writing, all except the quoted part, but to paraphrase Jimmy Dore:
‘I’d be rich & famous if I could write as funny as this.’
The American Shit-Stain Empire is over. Am I allowed to embrace and celebrate the tyranny that is coming at last to launder the Shit-Stain?
…..and it isn’t “except” but “accept”.
Actually, it is ‘except’.
Really, did you “except” the reality of my post?
Well, you’re a damn fool, but hey, what’s new.
Here’s the deal for your clueless feeble-mindedness.
The “except” that IS in fact incorrectly used, is not MY “except” but Jason’s. See the frikkin’ quotes? I was quoting from the text of the piece.
Now go away and be stupid and small in some other direction.
The map says it all-usa your not in the neighborhood
