The paper run by Gov so the media, China seems to forget its peaceful rising..BEIJING: As territorial disputes between China and other countries continue in the South China Sea, a Communist party-run daily today advocated "military action", saying no existing known methods have been able to resolve them peacefully.

Philippines is the target..
If they have to implement this kind of a plan then it has to be simultaneous as if it does on one target the others will get fortified. I don't know how they would pull this off including locking USN off as well.Japan could also be affected because of the territorial dispute over the Senkaku Islands, which are located in the East China Sea. Under the tactical plan, the Chinese Air Force, working in tandem with air combat units of the Navy, would stage surprise bombing runs over military ports and ships based at targeted islands.
The plan calls for eliminating the enemy's combat capability over the course of about an hour and then begin landing troops using amphibious assault ships, such as the Kunlunshan, the biggest such vessel in the Chinese naval fleet. It has a displacement of 18,000 tons and can accommodate four helicopters on its deck.
While the invasion was under way, the main units of the North China Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet would take up positions to block U.S. aircraft carriers from approaching the island.
Global Times is a well reputed news agency owned by China's main newspaper The People's Daily. In China, all news needs to be get approval from Chinese Government before it can appear in any medium. In this case if such reports come through a reputed news agency then it must have government's approval. Such reports reflect the mind-set of Chinese government and of course a mind-set of China.If these countries don't want to change their ways with China, they will need to prepare for the sounds of cannons.
Currently, China's mainstream understanding is that it should first go through the general channels of negotiating with other countries to solve sea disputes. But if a situation turns ugly, some military action is necessary," the daily said, referring to the detention of Chinese fishing boats by Philippines and South Korea in the disputed waters in the South China Sea
If these countries don't want to change their ways with China, they will need to prepare for the sounds of cannons. We need to be ready for that, as it may be the only way for the disputes in the sea to be resolved, it said.
I don't think the Filipinos have the balls to do much, they will just squeal and call on Uncle Sam for help. But the Vietnamese, will surely give a good fight, even though they won't be able to match the Chinese firepower for long, but will surely make the Chinese bleed as much as they can.Is there any reports on how the Vietnamese and Filipinos intend to defend these islands, these guys would face overwhelming odds if push comes to shove. I think its in their interest to make sure things don't reach a point where China starts using force.
They wont do diddly sqwat to US allies as long as USN is over there. Vietnam is fair game.Adux read this as posted by Kunal

That is correct..I don't think the Filipinos have the balls to do much, they will just squeal and call on Uncle Sam for help. But the Vietnamese, will surely give a good fight, even though they won't be able to match the Chinese firepower for long, but will surely make the Chinese bleed as much as they can.
