TWese troops are dead meat , we will 'cook' them with our most modern missiles

The attack will start soon, surrender is their best choice now

@ Syama Ayas

In his case, the emotional fall is more devastating than physical fall. It can create a deep withdrawal that last a life time.

How soon is soon? Taiwan hasn't heard anything from VN troops taking any steps.

Compared to U.S super nuclear carrier, your Liaoning 016 is just an ant in front of an elephant.

MANILA— The Philippines has deployed 800 more Marines and opened a new headquarters to guard its interests in the disputed Spratly Islands, which China also claims, a senior military official said Sept. 30.

Straddling vital shipping lanes and believed sitting atop vast reserves of mineral deposits, including oil, the Spratlys chain in the South China Sea has long been considered a flashpoint for conflict in the region.

Apart from the Philippines and China, the Spratlys are claimed in whole or in part by Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia and Taiwan.

Lt. Gen. Juancho Sabban, appearing to want to assuage Beijing in particular, said the deployment was only meant as a defensive measure and should not be seen as an aggressive move.

“These two battalions which arrived recently will be augmenting protection of our islands,” Sabban, who heads the military garrison which has jurisdiction over the Spratlys, told AFP.

“We are just on a defensive posture and are ensuring the defense of our islands. It is better to defend than retake islands once other claimants occupy them.”

He said a marine brigade headquarters had also been created on the nearby Philippine province of Palawan, facing the South China Sea, “to provide command and control” over the forces.

The Marines will not be stationed on the Spratlys but will patrol nearby.

Sabban accused China of continually fortifying its structures on islands in the Spratlys that Beijing controls, though at present “no claimant countries have manifested any offensive action.”

“We are not there to create a situation where it will lead to an accidental conflict and escalate into a regional problem,” Sabban stressed.

China, which is in a dispute with Japan over islands in the East China Sea, has been accused of ramping up tensions in the South China Sea. The Philippines and Vietnam over the past year raised alarm over Beijing’s assertiveness.

China claims all of the South China Sea, which Manila calls the West Philippine Sea, even waters close to its Asian neighbors.

Sabban’s announcement came just days after incoming Chinese leader Xi Jinping met a special Philippine envoy and expressed hope bilateral ties would improve.

The meeting was set months after both sides were locked in a tense standoff in Scarborough shoal, another outcrop in the South China Sea north of the Spratlys.

Hey Scatlander, the only country which is ramping tension is the US which is imposing a new colonial rule, no need to be an expert in foreign policy to conclude that the US is behind all the tensions in Asia. The US sees that its influence is declining amid China growing economic influence. So in view of restoring its influence, the US is imposing a divide and rule plolicy by blaming everything on China which is portrayed as the World evil to replace the ex-USSR, Bin Laden etc. It is the US which is pushing the Philippines to bash China while the Philippines Government is pushing hard to restore relation coz they know that the only country which could invest in their country is China and not the US. The Philippines is begging to meet the forthcoming new Chinese President and sending envoy to Beijing to restore relations but at the same time Philippines must satisfy the US demand by continuing to add flame in the current tension with China. Same thing with Japan, the Japanese Government has just beg and send envoys to restore relations with China while it is addting tension to the territorial claims at the request of the US which wants China to pay for its support to Syria and Iran.

BTW, how are the Real Assamese doing now? I meant those who are living perpertually high up in the mountain ones and why was their numbers keep in check while those so-called "indigenous" and the illegal immigrants are now taking over their lands and properties?

Do you believe that those illegal immigrants should be driven out?

Calm down. There will be no any wars in the SCS as long as the negotiation is ongoing.
I will get nervous if the talk breaks down.

In new year of 1968, we had a 'cease fire' agreement with U.S and suddenly we launched a full-scale attack to them

We could repeat this tactic with Chinese-TWese agrressors

Why didn't your generals think of that? You should re-educate them about history and repeat the same tactic.

No war!

Vietnam and China agreed at the last round of negotiation in Beijing, on how to mark the future border lines between the two parties in the SCS: based on the international laws, NOT on outdated nor self drawn maps,
that means China has given up the ridiculous position of 9-dash-line.

Your buddy has some ideas of repeating history by launching a surprise attack. You should tell him that VN won't be taking any of those islands administrated by Taiwan back.

I don´t need to tell him. He is not the commander in chief.

Yes some day dreamer must be reminded of that fact

Here's Spratlys Islands that clearly shows that they are well within the EEZ of the Philippines and a million miles away from the Chinese coastline. However the Han Dynasty keeps producing mythological maps made by the great bearded ones, somewhere around 3000 BC!

By violently establishing their claim on the Spartly Islands, the Chinese Communist Party hopes to prepare for technological advances in deep sea drilling and mining, so they have the ability to directly profit from the area’s natural resources– and cause irreversible environmental damage in the process.

The Chinese Communist Party's claim on the Spratlys is bizarre, belligerent and absolutely ridiculous!!

I smell something sour, is it outdated grape or some innate fear? Yeah, the glories of the past war and I sincerely admire Vietnam for that. But then man made tunnel diggings do not go well under the sea and that takes away one of the biggest advantage your troop have in fighting- sneak attacks and guerrilla warfare.
