I may have mentioned once or several times in the past the disturbing presence of Chinese Imperialism, and noted China's sabre-rattling over disputed islands in the South China Sea.
Things had started to get interesting a few months back when it became apparent that far from disputing the islands - variously claimed by Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia & Indonesia - they have just gone and annexed them.
They have built structures that look awfully military.
At the same time, USA has been testing the resolve of the Chinese by flying military reconnaissance missions over the islands and not leaving when China asks them to go away.
Given the Global Times being a mouthpiece for the regime, the Chinese seem to have given their response to the latest infringement by US planes.

I hope Wolfman's still hanging around so he can come and justify all this and explain why it's all ok and just part of China's peaceful efforts.

If the United States' bottom line is that China has to halt its activities, then a US-China war is inevitable in the South China Sea. |
