Firepower bristles in South China Sea as rivalries heat up

Chinese 3000 nukes and many millions soldiers and all those bombs and guns are for only SELF DEFENCE and again I repeat SELF DEFENCE. So Philippinese, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Malayasia , Indonasia etc.. should give up all their islands and the right of South China sea because we decided that South China sea is from today it is our own private property. OK hope you understand. Other wise forself defence we Chinese will attack and distroy all those countries. Now you know the meaning of our SELF DEFENCE term...

The only country in the world China is afraid is India. They know they can control US and other countries in Asia. But they can not and could not control India. These days China is repeatedly saying that India is not our enemy. They are afraid of India. Last month India tested it`s first ICBM which cover whole China. The US wants to make close tie with India. The Japan and Korea should invest more in India to make India more strong to counter the China and to make peace in Asia.

Have no fear. The Chinese can get all the ships they want. Still, they must go up against the skill and knowhow of the U.S. Navy seamen. Right now and in the near future, I'd place my bets on the more talented U.S. sailors.

basically the trump card of any nation is its nuclear arsenal, currently active nuclear wareheads, US 2100, Russia 1800, UK 180, France 290 China 240, so any country that has this many wareheads demands respect.

If China is smart, they'd settle these territorial claims thru diplomacy as soon as possible. Because the longer they wait, the longer the standoffs, the more these countries invite in the USA, and more time for the USA to increasingly ingrain their forces in the area. These other countries don't have as much resources as China to develop these natural deposits anyways, so they'll want China's help if ever China would work with them. But the longer China prolongs the standoffs, the more reasons they're giving the other countries to work with the USA instead.

If China were smart, they'd work diplomatically with these countries to help them develop whatever resources are there.. instead of sending warships, flexing their muscles and re-hashing some 1000 year old claim to these islands. Unfortunate that things only get done with the threat of a gun pointed at your head...

The Chinese are planing to and/or deploying submarines to travel underneath civilian vessels to make the subs undetectable by radar. It's a well known trick that the Soviets have used for decades.
