Senkaku Islands. China has them surrounded now.

Everything in the South China Sea has to do with China desiring to protect their supply lines (understandable, actually) and the U.S. deciding whether to use force to maintain our Naval control over same, which we have essentially enjoyed since WWII.

Americans need to decide in 2020 whom we choose to be in the next phase of history: WINNERS, or LOSERS.
