Snip:
The Chinese military drove a US destroyer away from the disputed island of Scarborough Shoal (Huangyan) on Wednesday, the China Central Television (CCTV) channel reported, citing the Southern Theater Command of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).
The USS Higgins “illegally entered the territorial waters of China off the island of Huangyan without the permission of the Chinese authorities,” CCTV reported, citing PLA.
“The Navy of the PLA’s Southern Theater Command deployed military personnel to track, monitor, warn and oust” the US warship in line with the law, the military said.
The PLA’s Southern Command said that the actions of the US military seriously infringed on China’s sovereignty and security, undermined peace and stability in the South China Sea, and violated international law and basic norms of international relations.
The amerikkkans are really pushing for war. I haven’t checked WeSStern news yet but I’d bet they’re saying this is China trying to blow up an American navy vessel
They’re still cackling like hyenas about those two Chinese ships hitting each other after that Philippines Coast Guard vessel crossed into their waters
Which again, why was a Philippines Coast Guard ship doing in Chinese waters?
They’ve been jerking themselves off silly and shooting ropes to the news of that blunder. It was even posted on the shitlib den of r/nextfuckinglevel. It’s something they can desperately cling on to in order to convince themselves that China’s military is not a threat and would be a push over in a war.
Honestly wonder if Trump would hail mary a war with China
The US’s best bet to win such a war would be a sudden surprise attack when China isn’t prepared, so I expect the US to have a false flag incident and then attack China within 6 hours of it (or maybe even accidentally attacking before their false flag happens)
