Which is all the more better for us ........ we plan to keep you engaged in the south china sea : ..... make you drink as much salty pee water as possible. After some time you may not find it such a delicacy.
The more china messes up the SCS, the more opportunity it creates for India to insert itself there .............. the more welcome India becomes to all your neighbours.
China is hopeing to bolster an interpretation of UNCLOS by expanding the reefs (some of which were previously underwater at high tide) into “into full-fledged islands that can fulfill the requirement Article 121 of UNCLOS of being able to “sustain human habitation or economic life of their own.”
However, Article 121 also specifies that an island is “a naturally formed area of land” (emphasis added), which would preclude China’s artificial islands from qualifying.
So far China is embarrassingly enough, unable to prevent Japan, South Korea, and the United States from all violating the ADIZ in the East China Sea, and that was with the full capabilities of its air force based on the mainland. These tiny islands will not change anything significantly.
you forgot that we brought with us the desalination water filter with us. and we are about to fix the SCS issue once we complete the reef reclamation, we have a good coverage of our strike range, and what make you think that we can't convert our 7 reefs into Islands that can substan human habitation? if Japan is able to artifically make it own reef into tiny island and accepted by UN why we can't do the same???? not to mention that our artifically island is 10 or 100 times bigger than the one Japan made.
And nothing prevent us to fly over Japan & south Korea ADIZ , so are they feel embarrassed as well??
now look at this map, this is become very interesting when we reassert ourself in SCS, you dont need to think hard what is this mean for China
