China is building a string of artificial islands to fortify its position in the disputed South China

[CCP]

This is miscalculation of Chinese. when China stolen Islands of your neighbors by force, you made your friends to be enemies.

US Navy is turned back to SCS, sitting before your door. You can do nothing. China dream is true nightmare. wake up dude.

At 2012, we took Scarborough Shoal from US's ally PH.
US did nothing to help PH. So, you can trust US.

BTW, we don't care Vietnam or PH are our enemies or not.
The situation of now is perfect.

There are lots of construction activities going on Subi Island.

There are so many ships on Meiji Island.

Wow!



This has the potential of a very good tourist resort!

It certainly has many rooms with a view.

Also good for freedom and security of navigation.

Carl Vinson CSG Trains with Malaysian Armed Forces

US Navy’s Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 17, and Destroyer Squadron 1 participated in various bi-lateral training events May 10 in the South China Sea with Malaysian air and surface units in support of Commander, U.S. 7th Fleet theater security cooperation objectives.

The strike group conducted a photo exercise (PHOTOEX), a 5-inch gun exercise, dissimilar air combat training (DACT), and concluded with an expendable maneuverable acoustic training target (EMATT) exercise.

During the DACT portion of the training, CVW 17 F/A-18 Hornets and Super Hornets joined Malaysian SU-30, MiG-29N, and FA-18D Hornets to train in multiple combat scenarios. Events ranged from single aircraft engaging single aircraft to complex multi-aircraft combat scenarios. With the Malaysian SU-30s maneuvering at speeds estimated close to Mach 1, training was aggressive and realistic.

The EMATT exercise allowed the guided-missile USS Gridley (DDG 101) to work with their Royal Malaysian Navy counterpart, KD LEKIR (FGS 26), and practice dual-ship anti-submarine warfare.

The United States and Malaysia share a diverse and expanding partnership and cooperate closely on a number of security matters, including counterterrorism, maritime domain awareness, and regional stability.

Can they take back Scarborough Shoal for PH ? or stop Chinese islands building?

Vietnam should buy one of these. I guess you can use the money looted from the burned factories. Or, VCP can charge all the anti-China to cover the cost.

But until then, I will tolerate your bragging of others stuff.

And China does not even wink in hesitation while it builds all over the SCS.

It seem that MY and ID worry abt CN. VN worry abt US.

 

[TaiShang]

It seem that MY and ID worry abt CN, not VN.

ID worries more about Vietnam sea pirates than China. They keep blowing up your illegal fishing vessels.

do you have such one? can you build such one? can you buy such one?

^What's the point of your question? Lol

 

[Tom99]

At 2012, we took Scarborough Shoal from US's ally PH.
US did nothing to help PH. So, you can trust US.

You have mistaken. China didn't take Scarborough from PH. China merely reinstates and reinforces its sovereignty of the shoal after PH threaten chinese civilian fishermen with their biggest naval warship.

Scarborough is entirely in PH EEZ, not any others. I am surprise why PH easily let it go.

Same to James Shoal. If I were MY, I would warn anyone who attempt to enter that, and force them out of that.

See what VN did to last year oil rig. Push it out of Vietnam EEZ without hesistance.

Well, they trust their ally can save them.

Japan was the same at 2013 when China setted ADIZ over Diaoyu island.

However US did nothing for both of them.

See what VN did to last year oil rig. Push it out of Vietnam EEZ without hesistance.

If you rethink the whole thing again, you should find 981 oil rig just a bait to draw everybody's attention.
The island making projects started at the same time.

What did you do last year? Make noise and send over tin boats that sail several miles off the rig? Or just look so angrily that the rig would melt away? Burn some animal bone and do witchcraft?

No technology involved in any case.

Let's talk when China has new city-sized islands in Nansha.

 

[BoQ77]

The oil rig itself cant lead MY, ID, ... Make their decision. Now they decide to play a more active role. While oil rig violated only VN EEZ, Spratlys land reclamation attract even Australia, Germany... By now.
