Re: Beijing warns US: 'We will fight back' as battle of words escalates over South Ch
It's not the Spratlys?!?! China is one of six nations that have overlapping claims to them. Do you understand that Taiwan also claims the entire Spratly archipelago? So where's that leave the other claimants, why aren't you angry at Taiwan? What do you want to see, the six countries draw straws. The big fuss at present is over China building up the existing islands and constructing infrastructure on them. I really don't know what you mean, but I've been focused on the Spratly (Paracels) the whole time.
Is Taiwan strong arming those other claimants? Nope
is Taiwan building in reef areas? nope
I asked why China does not avail themselves of the Treaty that governs this and to which the are a signatory. You never answered that.
I noted that china is claiming land, yep land, not just clearly territorial waters under the Convention but territory of Vietnam and Malaysia. You never answered that either.
You mentioned USFP. Yes they are not always right, lots of screwup to be truthful.
The countries involved signed an accord for joint discussion to settle the issue and that no one would build up in areas.
Malaysia and China have both done this.
China backed off on that agreement as well.
It is China that has caused this problem by their actions.
Yet you constantly defend China, even when they are clearly in violation of the Convention, and their complete disregard for past agreements.And screw the rest.
Who do you think small countries turn to in situations like this? The US.
The US has not broken any agreements, not violated any policies, not bullied their neighbors.
What you have happening is just a taste of what China will do in the coming years.
China still has territorial grievances with, guess who, Russia to begin with, India is another.
You bias on USFP is clearly coloring your judgement.
Yet you fault the US. Why?
