The incomprehensible thing for me, and I think for my country as a whole, is why would China risk all the progress she has made since the great reforms under Deng Xiaoping, all the good relationships she has built up with her trading partners, all the advances in income and a better life for her people.............over some silly sand-castle islands in the SCS?
It's incomprehensible to any sane person looking at it. Even if China thinks she can win a battle with the US Navy and our allies in the region, (Which she can't.), she will lose. Her trade, foreign investment, her standing in the world community, will all go up in smoke. China's internal politics has always been a riddle wrapped in an enigma but this obviously bad move by Chinese leaders who are usually known for being careful and deliberate, is very hard to understand.
