Spratly Islands dispute
Code of Conduct in the South China Sea
In July 2012, China (PRC) announced that it is open to launching discussions on the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, but called for all parties to exercise self-restraint in keeping with the spirit of previous declarations and United Nation conventions. This announcement has been criticised by many neighbouring states because of the contradictions seen in the Scarborough Shoal at that time where China has established de facto control.[26]
On 2 August 2012, the United States Senate unanimously passed a resolution declaring that China's July 2012 actions to unilaterally assert control of disputed territories in the South China Sea "are contrary to agreed upon principles with regard to resolving disputes and impede a peaceful resolution."[27]

Kinda reminds one of those loonies who move into a family’s house when the family’s away on vacation, then get all hot and bothered when anyone questions their right to be there.
These islands do NOT belong to China.

Admiral John Richardson should have informed Admiral Wu Shengli that after the United States puts a REAL American back in the White House next election, that Communist China can save lots of money on electric bills after we render them luminescent from repeated nukes, if they keep this sh*t up.
The Chicoms want to avoid a nuclear conflict with the United States at all costs, they KNOW they can't win one, and they also know that a U.S. strike (be it first OR second) would decimate and destroy everything they have built while masquerading as Communists (while behaving like capitalists on steroids).
They are no different than Kim Jong Fat Boy in North Korea, they talk a good game, but in the end they will act to preserve their personal possessions, prestige and power.
