We are in a brink of a war because of Chinese greed.War is imminent but with this kind of provocation showed by the Chinese government trying to oppress smaller country,I think it will happen too soon than expected.China can’t defeat USA in any battle and all aspect of aspiring supremacy..it is just but a dream of the Chinese and it will not become a reality surely.Greed will end up to have nothing at all in the end.

Well the Chinese step up their claims thru putting up of structures, other facilities and yet the western allies did nothing but use the voice thru international arbitration. What they should have done is to show their force too and made themselves visible and let the international decide.

In reply to Narendra Kumar. Yes, it is not for peaceful activities but military in nature - many Filipino fishermen have been prevented from fishing in the contested area that use tio be their fishing ground.

China’s posturing is no different from US posturing over Central America. You think the US could tolerate a left wing or communist government in Central America? It is just as unfortunate that the US decided to hand over the Diaoyu Islands to Japan after they finished using it for practice bombing runs. Nothing in history suggests it belonged to Japan. It was just an administrative decision by the US at a time when China was too weak to challenge it.

Malaysia should also build a runaway for its fighter planes. In fact, it has done that but invincible requiring only high techs to see it physically. It has also build a dome to ward off falling bombs. So it does not have to abide the UNCLOS.
