Commentary from Guangdong Research Institute for International Strategies in Guangzhou, China

Dear Friends

This professor from  Guangdong Research Institute for International Strategies in Guangzhou, China, is saying that the US activities to protect international freedom of navigation in the East Sea will prompt China to toughen its position, not very good for the US.

Well, China has already treated the US, ASEAN countries, and the world like a bunch of wimps, and the world as a lawless place.  The world simply has to put China to its place and tell China that this world is NOT a lawless place for bullies.

And this is not the US v. China, stupid!  This is the world of law against lawless China.

At one stage, after the American pilots responded by saying the plane was flying through international airspace, a Chinese radio operator said with exasperation: “This is the Chinese navy … You go!”

The P8-A Poseidon, the U.S. military’s most advanced surveillance aircraft, flew at 4,500 meters at its lowest point, CNN said. Tiếp tục đọc “CNN: China navy warns U.S. spy plane in disputed South China Sea”
