We will land more planes or even military cargo planes and station battalion, more installation. Can you stop those action beside useless sailing?

Doesn't matter if Americans patrol hundred times butt will not change the equation to SCS but when we enlarge and enhance land reclamation, build infrastructure automatically it will tip the balance on our favor. Americans are just desperately try to fart out loud on the air with the patrol and hope to get attention

you're welcome!

USA is turning back to stop idiot expanism of Han Chinese in Asia.

Haha but it was us the mighty Hans, the ones who stop Viets expansionism in South east Asia and SCS....LMAO...just to funny.

please send more and more!


you're welcome!

The more they send the patrol ships, the more we will perform to enhance our Islands, they can desperately pass by with their patrol ship, watch our Islands and witness our mighty achievement in SCS.

China drives off US destroyer intruding into Xisha Islands waters
By ZHANG YUNBI (chinadaily.com.cn) Updated: 2016-01-30 21:25

The People's Liberation Army sent warnings and drove away a US navy destroyer intruding into Chinese territorial waters of Xisha Islands in the South China Sea, the Ministry of National Defense said on Saturday.

Earlier on Saturday, the USS Curtis Wilbur guided missile destroyer violated China's laws by intruding into Chinese territorial waters, the ministry's spokesman Yang Yujun said in a written statement issued on Saturday night.

"The Chinese troops stationed at the islands and naval ships and airplanes made an immediate response, took countermeasures and conducted identification and verification against the US warship," Yang said.

The US action was "a serious violation of law, it damaged the peace and security of relevant waters and good order, and it is not helpful to regional peace and stability" and the Chinese ministry "expresses resolute opposition", Yang said.

Yang noted that the US side has sent warships or aircraft into China's relevant waters or airspace multiple times, leading to brushes between the two militaries.

"Such actions are technically very unprofessional, they are irresponsible to the safety of servicemen of both sides, and are extremely dangerous in regard to (potential) outcomes," Yang said.

The Chinese military will "take all the necessary measures to firmly safeguard national sovereignty and security no matter what provocative actions are made by the US side", Yang said.

Good job on part of our PLA.

Drive the US off and make a joke of them in the international stage but also continuously build up punitive capability by making use of those violations of China's territorial waters.

US regime gives China all the strategic and tactical advantages it needs.

Fascism always defies logic and long-term thinking.

Getting increasingly childish and desperate，the Americans are apparently at their wits' end。

This latest show by the US of utter stupidity will only lend more credibility to China's claim on the so-called disputed reefs and islands and further stimulate China to embark on a new round of land reclamations in the SCS。

Getting increasingly childish and desperate，the Americans are apparently at their wits' end。

This latest show by the US of utter stupidity will only strengthen China's will and determination to start land reclamation at more reefs in the SCS。

An enemy that hides its intentions is the most dangerous.

The US has been recklessly open and honest in its enmity toward China. This is good.

This is good, as you point out, to keep strategy-makers politically conscious and also push harder for ensuring China's safety and security by building up punitive capabilities in the South China Sea.

Let them enjoy their FON through utterly inconclusive and backfiring moves.

In a daring move, US warship patrols disputed South China Sea

An American warship on Saturday patrolled the disputed South China Sea claimed by China, Taiwan and Vietnam, “to challenge excessive maritime claims” that restrict the rights and freedoms of the US and others.

The daring freedom of navigation operation by the US, mainly aimed at China, was first reported by The Wall Street Journal in a lead story.

“A US warship conducted a patrol Saturday around an island in the South China Sea claimed by China and two of its neighbors, another in a series of operations intended to challenge Beijing’s maritime and territorial claims in the region,” the daily said.

The Pentagon confirmed its operation in South China Sea.

“I can confirm the Department of Defense conducted a freedom of navigation operation in the South China Sea on Jan 30 (Jan 29 EST), specifically in the vicinity of Triton Island in the Paracel Islands, to challenge excessive maritime claims,” Commander Bill Urban, a Pentagon spokesman, told PTI in response to a question.

This operation challenged attempts by the three claimants, China, Taiwan and Vietnam, to restrict navigation rights and freedoms around the features they claim by policies that require prior permission or notification of transit within territorial seas, he said. The excessive claims regarding Triton Island are inconsistent with international law as reflected in the Law of the Sea Convention.

“During the operation, the USS Curtis Wilbur, transited in innocent passage within 12 nautical miles of Triton Island,” Urban said, adding that this operation was about challenging excessive maritime claims that restrict the rights and freedoms of the US and others, not about territorial claims to land features.

According to the daily, the operation lasted about three hours, during which there were no Chinese army or navy seen in the area. “We saw nothing that was unusual in terms of the reaction,” a senior defense official was quoted as saying.

The US takes no position on competing sovereignty claims between the parties to naturally-formed land features in the South China Sea, Urban reiterated.

However, Urban said that US does take a strong position on protecting the rights, freedoms, and lawful uses of the sea and airspace guaranteed to all countries and that all maritime claims must comply with international law.

“No claimants were notified prior to the transit, which is consistent with our normal process and international law,” he said. This operation demonstrates, as US President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary have stated, the US will fly, sail and operate anywhere international law allows.

“That is true in the South China Sea, as in other places around the globe,” Urban said.

Since 1979, the US Freedom of Navigation program has demonstrated non-acquiescence to excessive maritime claims by coastal states all around the world. The program includes both consultations and representation by US diplomats and operational activities by US military forces.

This is expected, and I do not think USA will stop patrolling in near future. I think what China can do is keep focusing on our development of those Islands, while the USA can do whenever they want to patrol since nothing actually lose.

Kid，you need to learn from your Chinese masters when attempting anything in the SCS。

An enemy that hides its intentions is the most dangerous.

The US has been recklessly open and honest in its enmity toward China. This is good.

After failing to create havocs in the SCS through its proxy the Philippines，the US has been forced to come into the open。

After failing to create havocs in the SCS through its proxy the Philippines，the US has been forced to come into the open。

Looks like Vietnam also gave up on the Philippines' ability to really force China's hand through a circus Court. They look like embarking forcefully (within their capability, of course) on island reclamation.

Maybe the US wants to keep the best proxy (Vietnam) for the last show.

 

[Kiss_of_the_Dragon]

what is the big deal about that...Americans can come hundred times to see how we reclaim our Island with hopeless eyes...LMAO. they wouldn't dare to stop us our progress in SCS, we will be the winner

30 years ago this was normal because no one could even challenge the U.S. navies aggressions and violations.

Now it has become sensationalist news and their naive cheerleaders brag about it every little defiant provocation of China and boast about their violation of Chinese rights and international law because in the real world U.S.A. is all but pivoting to the East and slowly retreating and making little public stunts to hide it, while China literally cements its position. Their hopes still hanging on some Chinese "economic crash" and "bubble bursting" getting all hyped up about ever little fluctuation in the market like its world end.

"This is the U.S. navy! We violated your sovereignty! We violated your sovereignty! We violated your sovereignty! We still relevant!"
