Exactly.
To exaggerate things a bit: This is proxy conflict with USA.
The South China sea today is under US Navy dominance. Within a decade or so that will no longer be the case.
Simply because USA cannot afford an arms race with China.
- vlehto 10y agoI'm expecting anti-tank weaponry being sent to Myanmar by U.S. The bay of Bengal can't be shut down like china seas.
- snowwrestler 10y agoThe U.S. is so far ahead of China in the arms race already that that will not be an issue for decades, if ever. The issue is political will, because ultimately arms only change minds if they are willing to be used. China's government would have a much easier time justifying violence in the South China Sea to the Chinese population, than the U.S. government would have with U.S. citizens.
