Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): The US military has released video footage of a Chinese navy ship cutting across the path of an American Destroyer in the Taiwan Strait over the weekend, reportedly forcing the US vessel to slow down to avoid a collision.
Reminds me of a Tucker Carlson clip I saw yesterday on YouTube, where he points out that Chinese companies are building infrastructure in South America and the Caribbean. And then he comments, "This is OUR hemisphere!" (My respect for Tucker has been fluctuating violently of late!)
T'was me, I'd place as many Chinese warships in the Florida Strait as there are American warships in the Taiwan Strait, and start working on placing as many Chinese military bases in Canada and Mexico as there are American military bases encircling China.
There is a large glossary of terms missing in these times. One of them is "brinkmanship" which was coined by none other than John Foster Dulles(brother to the infamous Allan Dulles). It means to keep your opponent of the cusp war with endless provocations, in hopes they will capitulate or start a war where you can claim to be on the defensive.
Just imagine what would happen if a Chinese warship showed up near San Diego California!
This is also known as "gunboat diplomacy" on the part of the US, just as was Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan.
Greetings from China. In Singapore recently, defense minister Li Shangfu 李尚福 asked the audience (a) what, since this is an Asian security conference, are countries from another continent doing here? (b) why, throughout the conference, China is considered "expansionist", "aggressive" and "bullying" only at its doorsteps but never at other countries? In both cases, he meant not only the US but also Germany, UK, Europe etc. Hey, whitey, care to enlighten us with some answers?
I wonder what media would say if the Chinese were to sail between Cuba and the u.s.? I would pay to see it. I have to ask why that isn't on China's schedule for next week?
In a possibly related story, GOP stalwarts and centrist Democrats are hurriedly negotiating towards a Constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to stupidity.
It is difficult not to be sarcastic on this issue. What can you say? it is so fucking ridiculous. You can imagine the hell breaking loose were the situation reversed and Western waters and air space hosting Chinese or Russian military ships, planes and maneuvers. The Chinese must and will continue to showdown these idiots, because it's either now or later.
Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying. Or screaming. Or damaging the drywall with your forehead. Thanks for your help.
Hilarious, but sad, in highlighting how absurd and insanely hypocritical are US propagandists.
The world's bully is getting its feelings hurt by being bullied itself. It better get used to it if it keeps on encroaching the Middle Kingdom.

I understand they actually built their country between a ton of US military bases in a shocking act of aggression
Stop trying to make fun of America. We can do that ourselves.
Nailing it once again, Catelin! There are no words fit to praise your work.
US Hypocrisy shining brightly! So weary!

Perfect Onion headline!
No idea what China is doing in the China sea. It's nuts.
