Philippines says China's South China Sea moves aggressive, illegal
www.reuters.com

... The Philippine government slammed China on Monday for "repeated aggressive, unprofessional and illegal" actions in the South China Sea after a string of clashes and incidents on air and at sea over the past week.

The Philippines' national maritime council said Chinese aircraft made unsafe manoeuvres against a civilian aircraft conducting patrols over the Scarborough shoal and Subi reef.

On Sunday, Chinese vessels also "blocked, rammed and fired water cannons" against a government fisheries vessel while doing a resupply mission to Filipino fishermen in Sabina shoal, it said.

These actions are "alarming", the maritime council said in a statement.

"[It] calls into question China's supposed commitment to de-escalate the situation in the area and create a conducive environment for dialogue and consultation," the council said.

The Philippines added it will continue to pursue diplomacy in managing the maritime issues, and urged China "to return to the path of constructive dialogue" on South China Sea matters. ...

Coming from the Japanese that's rich.

No historical self awareness at all. They occupied half of China for twenty years. Killed millions of Chinese.

Shoulda shot the f**ker down. The Chinese have been screwing with us in 100's of ways ever since Nixon and his brain-trust opened the floodgates in the 70's and all we've gotten back is stolen treasure and bellicose BS. Good job Dick.

@#5 ... Shoulda shot the f**ker down. ...

While one part of me agrees, I also know there is the concept of "appropriate response."

China probed japan's defenses, Japan responses appropriately.

At this point, I am now waiting to see China's next escalation with Japan.

China was at this point, i.e., probing defenses, with the Philippines a few years back, and it has escalated since then.

China is knowingly and willingly pushing envelopes that should not be pushed unless there is an actual good reason.

When you have the lying corrupt media working hard to elect a pair of fools this will be the outcome. Kamala was always thought a fool by everyone until the new Democrats now think they can slide her incompetent butt into the White House

I agree.

So, now, China seems to think the risk is worth it.


Is this a new expansionist strategy of China, now that China seems to have Pres Putin in its pocket?

Effete is a Bot Wildman, pretty sure of it.
His opinions are largely pro-China, pro-Russia garbage,
and thus can be largely ignored...

Xi has plans for world domination.

Putin has plans for parts of Ukraine.
Putin is a fool who drastically overreached and is now
making Russia pay a very large price.

Xi is the one to watch. He has plans to
take Taiwan within the next 3 years, and to
quickly expand outwards from there, if not
checked by the U.S. and its allies. Xi
knows China is on the clock, and due to rapid
aging of its population, and a falling birth rate,
it's window of 'world (or eastern sphere) domination plans' is quickly
closing. This will force him to act sooner, rather
than later, if he chooses to act at all...

I believe though, that he will try to act. Both he and
Putin suffer from the delusional 'Great Man of History' theory,
and think that their legacy depends upon military action.

The human animal only permits one Alpha.

I'm sure you know that sooner or later that means death by combat.

The same thing applies to Trump and Putin.

Yepper Twin. If push comes to shove, I'm sure China
won't like the consequences. First of all, that nice big
3 Gorges Dam, that makes a big fat target, if things get hairy.
I'm sure Taiwan, let alone the U.S. already have missiles trained
upon it. And lastly, if it does get real serious. Well, those nuclear subs
parked a few 100 miles off of China's shore, I'm sure have their
orders.
