Donald Trump's former national security adviser on Sunday accused Beijing of staging the 'biggest land grab in history' with its territorial encroachment on the South China Sea.
Beijing has laid claim to a vast majority of the waters there, and China's aggressive buildup in military presence and increased exercises in the region has served to alarm and anger US allies there as well as American officials at home.
Retired Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster made the stark warning about an increasingly 'aggressive' China after troublesome technical issues led to his appearance on CBS News' Face The Nation to be delayed by nearly half an hour.
Meanwhile, the 2022 Winter Olympics are currently underway in China with the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Estonia and Lithuania all staging diplomatic boycotts of the games over government's human rights abuses.
During his Sunday interview the general, who served in Donald Trump's White House from 2017 to 2018, reiterated that China is trying to expand its claim on the South China Sea and was 'weaponizing' islands in the area to do it.

I remember it very clearly - in 2009, when America was distracted by Obamacare, his American-hating, and Obama’s woke puppet show, China grabbed all the Spratly and Paracel islands it wanted, and had bunkers and airstrips built within 12 months. It happened very quickly.
Not a peep from the corrupt MSM while it was going on.
Jesus....where was his whining when China was BUILDING islands in the South China Sea, and encroaching even further towards Taiwan?
I admire the Chinese and Russians, they don’t screw around. Unless we destroy the evil ones soon, one or both of the countries are going to be our masters. I think China is well on they now.
How is this a “claim”? It’s a fact.
Mcmasterbater.
And McMaster is banging the war drum... to make money in mil-industrial on flawed extended “engagements”— when decisive actions will shut these f’rs down by just waiting for their imminent collapse and stop sucking US dollars out of the country.
No to mention Chinese money buying up America
We had to get the Orange man out at all costs so we could put the adults [Dementia Joe, Distaff Jill, Klain, Sullivan, Blinken, Austin] in charge to deal with issue like this.

Good grief! US, UK, Au, Canada are currently abusing its citizens human rights. Remove the log from your own eye before attempting to remove the speck from anothers.

now known as the East China Sea.
Hawaii now Chinese internal matter...US not interfere
in China internal affairs!!!
Think of the upside in this:
We dump two Dem Senators, two Dem Representatives, AND Obama’s new mansion!
But think of the pineapple and the poi we will miss.
Still it would be worth it if Hillary was visiting the
Obamas when it happened.
When does the U.S. start building islands in international waters around allies in the Pacific? Turnabout being fair play and all that.
