I will hand one thing positive to some of China’s recent activities in the South China Sea; but this one area alone and no other.
Unlike the U.S. China is not behaving politely or sticking to what the U.N. wants when it comes to dealing with pirates on the open seas. The U.S. has hamstrung itself keeping to “international ‘treaties’ “ on piracy. China is not doing that. When Chinese patrol ships observe or are notified of pirate activities in the international shipping lanes of the South China sea, it blasts them out of the water, no questions asked. Sorry folks, and I am as American as the next Conservative, but when it comes to the pirates harassing international shipping, I agree with China - they have no “rights”.
Agree.
