BEIJING – China will allow its coast guard to use weapons when foreign ships involved in illegal activities in waters it controls fail to obey orders, such as to stop, a bill unveiled by a body of the country’s parliament showed Wednesday.
As Beijing claims that the Senkaku Islands, which are administered by Tokyo, are part of its territory, the envisioned law could target Japanese vessels navigating around the uninhabited islets. The tiny islands in the East China Sea are called Diaoyu by Beijing.
The Japanese government said earlier in the day that a Chinese ship was spotted in the so-called contiguous zone outside Japanese waters, adding that Chinese vessels had now been observed near the isles for 285 days this year and also for the 59th day in a row.

Even if they announced that today, it takes many years to get a program up and running with a minimal result. China would act long before that point.
Former PLAN ship with missiles removed. Torpedoes and rockets may or may not remain
Unless they smell weakness.

Stench is overwhelming coming from the Harris ticket
Japan's military strength is low and China would overwhelm it with sheer numbers alone. If Trump keeps the presidency, then China will ultimately back down and wait out the next 4 years. If Trump loses to Harris, then it's on full steam with no U.S. intervention other than some strong words - e.g. nothing. If Harris wins, China wins.
China will be patrolling off Alaska before you know it.

will be paroling the Arctic with their icebreakers - nuclear powered I believe. Visiting AK waters along the way is possible.
People who raise dogs and cats in cages and eat them, along with bats, rats and mice tend to get a little odd sometimes. Not exactly vegan diet.

With all the billions changing hands it may not be a case of an ally, but ownership ...
Except they won’t do jack to US naval assets.
Or any allied navy.
But they’ll harass a lot of fishing boats and freighters.
If they have been paying attention they already have.
Disagree. China's numbers are meaningless across an expanse of water, they can easily be repelled by Japan. And Japan has a strong navy, one of the best in the world while China's is inexperienced and weak. Japan by itself could defeat China in a war, and if a war started then Japan would be allied with India, Vietnam and Taiwan, not to mention the U.S.A.
It’s been said that they have all the parts all they have to do is assemble them.
Chairman Xi got what he paid for and America lost, maybe.
Uncle Sam would be on China’s side if the grinning Idiotes is the President
