Ah, yes. Behold US foreign policy in the age of 0bambi.
The Muslim Brotherhood has seized Egypt.
China has seized the South China Sea.
US reaction has been "muted."

This won't be complicated at all.Neither Vietnam,the Philippines,Thailand,Taiwan,Malaysia,Indonesia nor any other country in the region has a navy that comes within 100 light years of being able to take on the "People's Navy".These countries seem to think that the UN will help them...or that "public opinion" will help them.
Sadly,all I can say to those countries is "good luck with that".

Since it’s been the rule of deposits everywhere to create international incidents to maintain domestic control, is it unreasonable to suspect that the rise in Chinese territorial assertions may betray a causal rise in domestic instability?

The Paracels (now of Hainan Province) are shown on Chinese travel agency sites. China has also taken the Spratly Islands.

The Spratly Islands are further out to sea, to the south, closer to Malaysia and the Philippines.

If people start getting flu like symptoms after attending trade shows then maybe the rag heads have been reading Tom Clancy’s “Executive Order”.
Unfortunately the Muslim Manchurian candidate would not be able/willing to handle this.

I forgot to mention earlier about the enormous amounts of oil under the Spratly Islands...omitted something very important there.

Been warning about this eventualoty for ten years.
China has been rapidly building up its Navy, both in terms of quantity and quality for all that time and has ammassed a very strong fleet to cover the entire area inside the second island chain.
This is a huge statement by them...a shot across the bows.
