I heard that Philippine will join next time too.

Actually I am surpised that your top officials did not come up with any thing that prevented this from happenning. Beyond cowardness, It also shows the inability and lack of tactics of your military decision maker.

Maybe the world has overestimated the strength of Chinese military machines.

 

[EAsian]

It doesn't matter. As long as the islands are fully developed and fortified, China's reach has extended.

What is the meaning to develop those islands if you can‘t protect territorial seas around them?Can we dig out some gold or oil from those island？Totally meaningless.

It depends which aspect you look at.For me,A military force that a country is afraid to use is equal to no military force.

Bro I understand the difference. US cannot stop China from building anything on the artificial islands. This incident was to reinforce one thing by the US:

That they are still the boss even in the SCS and at the ssame time send wrong signals to Viets, Pn, Jap that they can always count on US and not be afraid of China. It's a psychological that China should have acted more swiftly and bolder.

I would say let them be the boss. In fact China asks them to be the boss in the Middle East. China still needs a some 5-year of favorable international situation.

So long as China manages this duration without much disturbance, I am content with the method employed.

There is time to ask like Russia did; but, when sailing a ship (tailed by China's warships) across waters near China's islands, the US did not harm China's interests unlike what NATO did with Russia's.

My argument is therefore such that the response is right and enough.

JP, VN, and PH already seem to be put their faith on the US. If their egos are to be flighty with this incident, so be it. If I am one of these, I would be disappointed so long as the US fails to make China stop island construction.

That is good.But I am afraid it is not good enough to stop US from coming to our territory waters.I hope next time we will do better and that is the only thing I can hope for.

Whatever islands still under Chinese control and constructs continue ... that's enough ! I think this case will speed up our artificial islands and Navy building ... maybe next year China could send a PLAN tast fleet to dock inside finished island.

Anyways now the first important thing is to finish the building, and thanks USN China will send more ships to SCS water to protect our island building.

"USN into 12 sea miles of artificial island" & "PLAN send more ships to artificial island", there'r two sides of this case ... so should thanks USN.

OFFENSIVE is the best DEFENCE TACTIC.

Your weak PLAN leaders will never understand the modern military thoery. Maybe they are counting on the Great Wall to protect your people's interest.

Look,we don't need a US intrusion to boost our construction in those islands.It's a ridiculous exuse.One don't need to be invaded to realize how important military power isThe point is always about the Territorial seas.And that is always the US want to deny about.Constructions in those islands don't have much to do with the problem.

Of course, any unauthorized or undeclared ships within the 12 miles will still be warned or chased off. But the main point of developing those islands is to extend naval and air power further into South China Sea. In case of conflict, Chinese naval and air assets can be deployed quickly and efficiently, which makes protecting territorial waters easier.

U r wrong, BeiJing & CCP need such signal from U.S side ... China need more aircrafts/ships in there to protect artificial islands, after this case China building will speed up.

Don't cry like a girl, coz nothing changes to these artificial islands, Chinese still doing their works in there.

But we don't need those construction to encounter the intrusion which happened today.We just need some ships to ram over the US destroyer.Not like we will launch missiles to shot the destroyer.If you can't protect the territorial seas now.You can't protect them in the future too,no matter how good you have built in those islands.

It's not the problem with theories,It's about balls.

Then,Too passive I must say.It won't work well.

Yupe. the pragmatic leaders in China understand this; that this and future American display will not in anyway alter the reality of these islands, China will continue to build and have sovereignty of these islands.

Cry like a girl, and there nothing change yet !

Cry?nope thanks.More intrusion will happen,Japanese and pinoys will follow uncle Sam.And you can still build in the islands while they can still across China's territorial waters like in their home.

LOL ... r u 100% sure ? That need ask China Coast Guard whether crash their boats in SCS like before.
