[s002wjh]

Phillipines has the full backing of US. Let's see what China can do??

what full backing of US. you think american are interest in any war with china over SCS, think again. the only interest US has in that region is freedom of navigation of the navy.

Oh yes those US naval bases in phillipines are just to make China happy.
China will be blown to bits if they mess with any US pacific ally if you think
US is bluffing come and test us.

US benefits by aggravating conflicts, it puts pause to Chinese expansionism. It doesn't take a genius to understand that.

One of the islands under Vietnam's control is called Bombay Castle

USA had the bases in the Pacific when China was still making straw hats way before the "peaceful rise".

The fishing-trick doesn't work well on them, as they are too cautious to even fire a bullet.
An incident, no matter how it turns up, is necessary here, absolutely.

have you read the article

The United States has insisted it takes no sides in the territorial dispute but says it should be solved peacefully.

US in SCS is for our own interest, not the interest of phillipines. US won't get invovle and start a conflict with china to benefit phillipine. any person with resaonble sense know this.

phillipine are between a rock and a hard place now. 1st they can't show any sign of backing off. 2 they can't force/fire upon chinese ships, doing so will certainly involve chinese navy. china just waiting an excuse to send in its navy.

have you read the article

US in SCS is for THEIR own interest, not the interest of phillipines.

Then attack Phillipines USA won't do anything.

 

[s002wjh]

Then attack Phillipines USA won't do anything.

and create an incident where people see china as aggressor, i think china is smarter than that. no they are waiting for phillipine to make its move. china keep pushing philippine until, philippine make a mistake by fire or push china into a corner, give china excuse to send in its navy to defend its civilian ships.

 

[LETHALFORCE]

If it Chinese territory like they claim they should defend it?

its call the disputed area. chian certainlly won't want other countries to see china as the aggressor. but if philippine make some mistake fire or push china too far, china then have the excuse. its same with every war, IRAQ, afahan, falkland etc etc. china has to have proper cost to initiaite a conflict. if philippine fire upon chinese ship, thats best excuse for PLAN to get involved, china couldn't be more happy about it.

are you retarded? all countries already see china as the aggressor. China's moves are only going to result in a military alliance between these countries against china. its a no brainer. today vietnam and philippines are conducting joint patrols, tomorrow it will become a strategic alliance. in fact china's aggression is going to give japan, philippines and vietnam a reason to get nukes. I see this happening within the decade.

China has to attack these countries already if 90% of south China sea belongs to
China and there is no compromise then China should attack the violators. Just
wrong for the whole world to take the other countries side(ASEAN).

what aggressor ask US, europe, japan, korea, they will tell you its disputed terroitory. did china attack vietanm island or phillipine ships with its navy, NO. so how the heck you came up with china been an aggressor other than your bias. like the article says, vietnam claim more island, has the same dispute with its neighbor regarding SCS. philippine just board chinese fishing ships etc etc. if anything both china, vietnam, philippine are harrsing each others. the only different is china is big dog of the three. seem like you are the one didn't think through.

You are right Vietnam was the one who smashed into the Chinese vessel, China
maintained it's peaceful position.

typical 50 cent troll. you send fishermen to violate sovereign territory and then claim no aggression. you cut exploration cables and then claim no aggression? Of course all this is aggression. irrespective, look what your stupid ideas have got you. not one square inch of land and you have united all your neighbours into one nice alliance that keeps getting stronger by the day. enjoy.

its disputed area, vietanm, philippine, china and other claim it. so any country who attack the other first will see as the aggressor. no one want to fire the 1st bullets. china has the military capability but not interest of been label as aggressor who attack vietanm/philippine first.

These countries are too hostile against China and need to learn a lesson.

lol i live in US for over 25yrs. both vietnam/philippine/japan etc send their ships/fishing into chinese EEZ before. if you claim china done this to philippine/vietnam the same is true for the opposite side.

if this happen to US, US would already send in its navy, and sink opposition force already. if US is in china position, you think US would allow philippine to hold any US fisherman.

find an ariticle that says US label china as the aggressor. the bias come out from your mouth could drive people insane.

China and Vietnam have overlapping claims to large parts of the South China Sea and various remote islands and reefs and even seemingly minor disputes involving fishermen raise concern about confrontation between the uneasy neighbours.

"Recently, more than 100 Vietnamese fishing boats entered the waters around the Paracel Islands for illegal fishing. Unable to drive them out, relevant Chinese authorities investigated and dealt with a Vietnamese boat and 21 fishermen in accordance with the law," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said.
