U.S. Carrier Group Enters South China Sea Amid Taiwan Tensions

[Chhatrapati]

Right, south China sea as a whole doesn't belong to anyone

Given 9 dash lines are a myth, I say sure.

People are dying at home. Those establishment don't give a fcuk about their own people.

India isn't afraid of china, in fact they're a major boost to the QUAD, nobody is goint to attack anyone, this is just posturing, with threats from India, China will have to invest more in the PLAGF, thereby dividing resources with the PLAN, the US doesn't have this issue in the continental America, as most of it's neighbor had been pacified.

The US is not far from China, they have bases in Japan,SK, Philippines and Guam.

These bases don't hold much. 100k is not enough to fight someone like China hack not even 10m would be enough. They need serious manpower on the eastern theatre and the capability to resupply it constantly which is hard to achieve both

The Americans are bluff. China has been doing what it wants for years. Flying over or sailing past SCS doesn't mean anything. The SCS island belongs to China and there is very little anyone can do about that.

Vietnam is the majority owner in SCS

China and Pakistan are going to deal with India together. Read Indian reports about two front war. It is real.

oh yeah just like that one time china-Pakistan joint operation in....... oh wait, there's none

U.S. Carrier Group Enters South China Sea Amid Taiwan Tensions

TAIPEI (REUTERS) - A U.S. aircraft carrier group led by the USS Theodore Roosevelt has entered the South China Sea to promote "freedom of the seas", the U.S. military said on Sunday, at a time when tensions between China and Taiwan have raised concern in Washington.
U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said in a statement the strike group entered the South China Sea on Saturday, the same day Taiwan reported a large incursion of Chinese bombers and fighter jets into its air defence identification zone in the vicinity of the Pratas Islands.

The U.S. military said the carrier strike group was in the South China Sea, a large part of which is claimed by China, to conduct routine operations "to ensure freedom of the seas, build partnerships that foster maritime security".
"After sailing through these waters throughout my 30-year career, it's great to be in the South China Sea again, conducting routine operations, promoting freedom of the seas, and reassuring allies and partners," Rear Adm. Doug Verissimo, commander of the strike group, was quoted as saying.
"With two-thirds of the world's trade travelling through this very important region, it is vital that we maintain our presence and continue to promote the rules-based order which has allowed us all to prosper," Verissimo said in the statement.
The announcement comes just days after Joe Biden was sworn in as U.S. president.
Biden's nominee for secretary of state, Antony Blinken, told his Senate confirmation hearing on Tuesday there was "no doubt" China posed the most significant challenge to the United States of any nation.
China has repeatedly complained about U.S. Navy ships getting close to Chinese-occupied islands in the South China Sea, where Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei and Taiwan all have competing claims.
The Theodore Roosevelt is being accompanied by the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Bunker Hill, and the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers USS Russell and USS John Finn, the U.S. statement said.

waiting for chinese coast guard to open fire

New law allows China coast guard to fire on foreign vessels

BEIJING: China has passed a law that for the first time explicitly allows its coast guard to fire on foreign vessels, a move that could make the contested waters around China even more choppy.

Destroy the PLAN make the CCP look weak, and internal rebellion will do the job

Vietnam is not even close to matching China LOL Like I said, China is doing whatever it wants. No one can stop China.

What makes you think China and Pakistan won't cooperate in the changing environment? Neither did China and Pakistan have CPEC, but look how that changed. If anything, deepening defence and economic cooperation between Pakistan and China naturally demands to see off disruptive enemies such as India.

Did you create this idea behind your Ikea desk?

Vietnam is not alone in this fight lel, in the Indo-Pacific ,china has no real ally, the US have Japan, Taiwan , OZ . In Fact China is at odd with almost everyone in the Indo-Pacific region.

what does CPEC have to do with sino-Pak joint operations???

CPEC is a failure btw.

Internal rebellion how? this is delusion at it's best. The Han chinese are like 1.4Billon inside china they face no threats of rebellion whatsoever within it's borders. CCP just have such a tight grip that the liberals have all gone to Taiwan and gave up. Destroying PLAN is a pipe dream without WW3

What have you thus far achieved to halt Chinese advances in SCS? Tell me one success. Apart from relying on daddy America for flying over and sailing past Chinese islands there is nothing to tell.

Vietnam, Japan and others combined are dwarfs compared to China. There is no comparison and you know it. Daddy America can't touch China. Trump was the worst China hater, but even he was left fuming. Trump was your best bet and all he could achieve was some lousy trade tit for tat. What makes you think that tiny islands like Vietnam and Japan would do to China?

LOL CPEC is a failure according to haters. According to Pakistan and China it is a massive success. LOL at YT propaganda video.

In the words of Indians themselves:


India battles both China and Pakistan

India battles both China and Pakistan - Two-front war - The Economic Times

Even as military strategists plan for a possible two-front war in the future, Pakistan violated ceasefire on Thursday on the line of control (LoC) in two sectors in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district by using automatic gunfire and mortar shelling. Two-front war

People in Armenia are overwhelmingly in support of PM Nikol Pashinyan before their November defeat, now there are calls to overthrow him, if you look at China's 5000 years of history, its full of rebellions like this, as a result of loss of trust to the government (emperor).

I just watched this American movie.
In one of the scene, a female journalist interviewed the veteran who lost both his legs in Afghanistan.
You must be feeling very bitter towards the Taliban.
The war veteran reply was: NO it is not really their fault. They are just defending the homeland. We are the intruders.
It is our politicians' fault, they are the one who send us there.

I thought to myself.
Wow. This is very powerful.
That must be how most of the US sailors are feeling today.
What are tbey doing in the South China Sea?
What are the risking their lives for?
Who are they defending? USA???
or the US politician.
Don't forget the fmr US President was a Draft Dodger.

You have to first question your sources and India have been spamming CPEC flagship has failed yada yada and now people who want clicks make video and all of sudden should we take them as relieable? Every other month someone clearifies that the project is still going


Enemies of CPEC will fail: Standing firm with Pakistan, says China

Meanwhile, the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s spokesman Friday said any attempt to sabotage the CPEC flagship project would not succeed and both China and Pakistan, with the support of international community, could work together to ensure its success.

"I have already made my response to this issue. No attempt to sabotage the CPEC will succeed," Zhao Lijian made these remarks during a briefing while answering a question about Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and DG ISPR Maj Gen Babar Iftikhar’s joint briefing last week during which they held India responsible for supporting terrorist forces and sabotaging CPEC. Lijian said China opposed all forms of terrorism and double standard on counterterrorism.
