TLDR The territorial claims of the South China Sea are continuing to heat up. US is likely to step up its presence in the area, by request of the Philippines


On Tuesday, the US military said it plans to help the Philippines monitor its coastal waters while Manila is locked up in territorial dispute with China over Panatag Shoal (Scarborough Shoal) for more than a month now.

This has been quite the ongoing issue, however now the US is preparing to potentially flex their muscles. Curious on the thoughts of this.

US acting as a counter-force to Chinese claims, seems pretty legit. If anything it maintains the status quo, and in a way that serves the less powerful states with claims in the South China Sea.. However, that doesn't solve anything

In this case, however, the people are actually behind their dictators.


The Chinese aren't really an expansionist or aggressive people (no need to bring up things that happened half a century ago to try to make China look bad, it has been 30 years since the last time China went to war. Try counting how many wars the US has been into since then..), but they are very sensitive to territories they consider historically theirs. In fact, if the CCP shows weakness when it comes to these kinds of things, they would get lots of criticism from the inside.

If this is going to be another TvT it's going to be so boring to watch.

On a serious note, I'd love to hear about China's reasoning behind claiming that much water.

"Some of our ships got there once 500 years ago so it's ours along with all that resources down there that they've actually been stealing from us all along". Sounds legit.


Meh this affair is probably to divert attention from internal political struggles anyway. They won't do anything but can't afford to lose face either.

I take it their is a lot of strategic value in those islands. Step 1 of China's invasion plan maybe.

On a serious note, that is a ridiculous claim. It clearly isn't China's.

wow, so they claim not only a part of the philippines, but also malaysia brunei and indonesia, almost all the way up to the coastline.

I wonder what the basis is for this claim.

Because they can I'd imagine. The same basis for the US opposing it.

I understand the argument why China shouldn't claim the area and I agree with it, however many people are seriously being downright rude and racist. If you guys checked out the comments on that YouTube video you can probably understand what I'm saying. Also, what is the mentality of representing China with a panda rather than a human being? Seems ridiculous and blatantly derogatory in my opinion.

Message from the US Joint Chiefs of Staff to China:

"Tremble you weaklings, cower in fear
I am your ruler, land, sea, and air"
(opening lines from a great song from a godly album)

But seriously, the Chinese will do nothing. The US is dominant in Europe and the Far East, ruling land, sea, and air. The Chinese can't do anything.

That picture really makes me want to criticize China, but if I were to do so I would probably have to criticize the USA extensively as well, and I am really not keen on making such a longwinded post.

Honestly, Vietnam has more right to be claiming these lands away from us than China does. Then again they probably think they own Vietnam as well.
