China has been fucking around for a while now. One of these times they’re going to step over that line and start something they wish they hadn’t.
I kinda hope they do and the US decides it's had enough and declares war and launches the fleets to force Xi to apologise or get him ousted by the rest of the party. Obviously don't want a real war, just real looking enough to freak out the CCP into backing down.
The outcome of that would more likely be war than a restructure of Chinese government.
And such a war would certainly make WWII look like babies at play.
Almost seems like china wants it. Their pilots are trained, their pilots act like infants.. its a safe bet they're trained to act like infants.
They are just like the playground bully. Acting all tough but they can't back it up.
Look at their aircraft carrier: https://thedefencetimes.com/2023/06/06/fujian-chinese-aircraft-carrier-cracks/
China wouldn't stand a chance if the US really wanted to swat them down.
It’s their playground. We’re on their playground. Imagine if China had bases in Cuba and Bermuda and were flying near our airspace. Geez, the liberal brain rot is real.

They're playing a very dangerous game. And they know it too, with how they're projecting in their statements.
They're trying to claim international waters as their own. Flagrantly. If they're going to ignore internationally agreed upon borders, they shouldn't be surprised when everyone laughs at their claims of sovereignty.
Hey China, how about you stop being malicious and provacative in the SCS?
Bro they're just defending their sovereignty bro. It's totally their waters even though it's international waters, and did you see how dangerous those fishermen vessels were to their national security??? /s
They were seen favorably by the Western Left, but then they started to pull shit like this. They have somehow managed to align both Democrats and Republicans against them, which is fucking impressive. They continue to recklessly fuck around, and I don't think their economy is in a state to find out.
Can you hear yourself? It’s the South CHINA Sea. Not the South Canadian Sea.
That's one of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard. It's international waters.
Does the Gulf of Mexico belong solely to Mexico? Does the Black Sea belong to black people?

Ah yes, when I think “Canada” I think “malicious and provocative”
Hey man if you had to live above a meth lab eventually you'd crack too.

Canada isn't sorry anymore.
That sounds like a really awesome tag line for the Captain Canada movie

Can we change the name of the SCS already? What could trigger the Chinese government the most?
Tianamen sea? Mongolia was here sea? Taiwan (no sea, just Taiwan)?
~~ASA~~ SAS - South Asian Sea It's inclusive of all territories and still pisses off China.
I think this is the best option, i dont want to piss the Chinese people but just the Chinese government and this could fall specifically in that space

What's up with Russia and china's shitty pilots? One of these days, one of those morons is going to stall their fighter or miscalculate and crash into the sea, and the international vessel they're harassing is going to have to pick them up. Fucking idiots.
They want provocation from the west, if they do dangerous shit that might endanger Canadian/US/whoever vessels then we might be forced to retaliate in order to prevent an accident that could put sailors/marines at risk.
All these little maneuvers remind me of the classic bully who pulls his punch at the last second trying to get you to flinch.
Oh, are the hostage diplomacists upset?
Too fucking bad.
Daily reminder that Western media reports on this to make you fear/hate China.
Daily response that China’s still doing it, regardless of why it’s being reported.
Classic America-centric tomfoolery.
I’m Australian, mate. If anyone were able to tell you something shifty’s going on with China, it would be us. We’re kinda the English-speaking experts on the topic.

As an American I'm amused you think we are afraid of China. I wish we got along better with them but the idea that were at home hiding under our beds worried about China's military is silly. We've both got enough nukes to end each other and China lacks the ability to project its conventional military power much farther than its bogus, ever shifting, and illegal borders.
If China doesn't want the smoke then it needs to quit behaving like a belligerent dingus in the South China Sea.
It would be one thing if they were just antagonizing the West. But they're driving out fishermen from neighboring countries as well. When many countries are in debt to you, and you're openly hostile to all of them, that debt goes from an asset to a liability. Especially when you're begging for international incidents.

Man the worst part of lemmy is all the absolutely brain dead China apologists, you people are a cancer spreading bullshit propaganda. Fuck off loser.
I’m not apologizing for China, I’m just critical of American media. I remember the Cold War, I’m in no hurry to go through that again. Why can’t we be on friendly terms with China?

They should have send an air balloon instead...
I think I'm old enough to realize none of this matters.

-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
