That is actually more applicable to YOU than to me.
So explain to us all: Why is China's claim to practically the entire South China Sea not provocative? Why should the 'inferior' Asians take that as 'peaceful rise'?
To you, us probably merely existing is an 'unnecessary provocation'.
First I never said China isn't provocative, proof:
Lastly, I always maintained that China should pursue interests, but never said it wasn't provocative to other nations.
You put me in your category, but if you were to read my posts non of my posts said China is perfect, in fact all my posts gives the message China has problems and needs improvement but not the hell hole some people seems to suggest. China is pursuing it's interests and it is provocative.
I'm not blind to what China is doing and I accept it. I judge it to be necessary and didn't try to justify it other than to say that it is in China's interest.

Then I went on to say US is provocative same way China is. Never did I say China wasn't
But it is Provocative, right? Just because NK started provoking US doesn't mean any actions the US does isn't the same. So we finally landed that you agree it's provocative.
If you don't agree, then Japan bought the Islands in dispute, then that is provocative and anything China does afterwards isn't provocative either.

Then you try to weasel out and imply that maybe, maybe not.
Then what is the point of calling this event 'unnecessarily provocative' only to concede that ANYTHING can be construe as provocative?

If you want to call it that...
Here you pretty much admitted as much and try to make it sound like US was backed in to a corner and it wasn't provocative because NK started it and talking was no good.
You mean those years of giving aid came from nothing? No negotiations at all? At what point should negotiations stop? Go on forever?

Then I stated gave the China Japan example and say that this is similar, except China is in US shoes, because Japan started first.
Is it provocative of China? To me, yes. However this is the same as American situation. So I asked you if you think if China is provocative and if yes, how it differs from US.
What would you call it? Justified action? Than what is the difference between China and Japan situation? Did the Japanese not buy the Island, then wanted to changing the act that forbid a Japanese army.
Shinzo Abe, Japan's Next Leader, Wants Stronger Military (look to my original post for link)
If this had been an island US had disputes with and Japan did these things, what would you call it?
If you call it provoking, then is China also provoking? If yes then how does this differ from this situation?

Then, even though I CLEARLY STATED in two posts and the post that responded to this below quote, that Japan was the one who started it. My question was what should China do? Is China's action provocative if yes, how it differs from US, NK.
I will provide one more source on this and show that Japan started it. In Japan's case you do realize they claim the same? This source also states how Japan got the islands in the first place.
Japan agrees to buy disputed Senkaku islands - Telegraph
I thought you follow the news closely, or at least knowledgeable.
Japan bought the island first, and NK tested Nukes first.
China in the East China sea is in the American position, while NK is in Japan's position.

Then you try to change the topic to South China sea, even though in a previous post I already said it was provocative. (refer to top for proof)
Once again you claim China aggression in Asia, which is true, but in terms of Japan, Japan started it and in a previous white paper Japan described a Chinese threat. You can Google it if you want.
BTW, this is US response to buying the islands
U.S. warned government against buying Senkaku Islands: Campbell - The Japan Times
I do read the news. But I will sum up your arguments thus:
- China begins aggressive behaviors in Asia to the point of claiming vast swath of ocean as sovereign territory.
- Japan proposes a change in constitution to allow a larger military.
Whoa...!!! Whoa...!!! Japan is being 'unnecessarily provocative'...!!!
Do I have it right?

Then I quoted the two posts and you can check and said how do you respond.
Then you still ignore that Japan bought the islands first. Still ignore Japan provoked first.
Just like you believe this helicopter event is provocative, in my opinion, China's claim on vast swath of ocean is provocative and deserve response. Japan and South Korea should have stronger militaries. The US should have a more prominent presence in South Korea. Provocations begets provocations.

Lastly I said you only want to hear what you want to hear and you respond with it's me that does this.
Yet, if you read these posts, it's clear what I have admitted and what you still won't. It's clear that you just want to do the same thing you claim other Chinese members are doing for China.
Gambit, don't try to pass yourself off as the unbiased and well informed member. Clearly, you are not.
Before you do the I know you are but what am I game again, I already claimed in a few posts that I am somewhat biased. But at least I know this fact and try not to be biased. Proof is that In threats that are about China I criticized China before and pour cold water on Chinese heads before.
