China claims the ENTIRE SOUTH CHINA SEA. Imagine the US claims the entire Pacific ocean.
Realistically tho, does the US not?
Ah, yeah. That was more my thrust... The attitude about enforcing open transit, because of course that's what the US will do.
e: dumb typos
No they don’t. Jesus Christ.
I'm genuinely curious what you think the US and Canada are doing by sailing warships through another country's claimed waters?
Trolling tankies
Its a game of bluff. China can make all the claims it wants, but the waterway is traditionally open navigable waters, and rules are basically “do you want to start a war to stake your claim?” You can find many recordings online of western ships passing through the strait, and a constant back and forth of;
“Turn back, you are in chinese waters.”
“This is the USS Fillintheblank, we are in International Waters performing a freedom of navigation exercise.”
“We order you to turn back now.”
“This is the USS Fillintheblank, we are in…”
Yes so deliberately being antagonistic to prove the point claiming it's international waters?
Of course it's necessary to be antagonistic towards breaking international agreements.
They are exercising their right to sail through international waters.
China just claimed your toilet water as its own, what are you gonna do about it?
Drop a massive stinker and refuse to flush
Oh yeah? Is your curiosity genuine? Really?
