China's SCS Strategy Thread

[LKK815]

What happens now, do you think the Americans will step in? It would not look good if the yanks just retreat without an answer to the amt of firepower chinas deploying.

Their whole hegemony depends on the invisible "trust" and belief of US honouring it's treaties and committments. So they have to do something.

Which is a probably why you also see more Chinese forces going to the area

They have already sent thoughts and prayers, what else do you expect from them?

Really PRC should wait until it properly kicks off between Israel and Hezbollah before making any more big moves.

They have land based fighters stationed in SCS too, right?

Lol one thing I know for sure is they won't go to war no matter how hard the Philippines begs them. The current forward deployed US forces aren't enough to even be a speed bump. If they do opt for war they'd have to spend weeks to months surging forces first.

On the artificial islands yes. Not to mention that the backbone of PLAAF/PLANAF are J-20/Flankers capable of long range operation with/with out refueler support.

He doesn't have a graduate degree. He probably realized after graduating that he wasn't capable enough to accomplish anything of note in the field of materials science, hence the career switch. There are many people like this. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but giving up a career in materials science to become a glorified cheerleader is pathetic haha

I don't think just having an undergraduate degree is any indicator of intelligence for better or worse.
I think the most telling is how hard he tries to sound and prove he's smart. What is all that nonsense like "study of metallurgy", "hull microstructures", you could just say, "I did undergrad in MSE, it's too rusty yo, it's done... can't fix that shhh"

Palace: China harassment at Ayungin not an armed attack​

The latest incident of harassment by China vessels on Philippine boats, which caused a Navy man to lose his thumb and several others to be injured, is not an armed attack that may trigger the Philippines' Mutual Defense Treaty with the superpower United States, Malacañang said on Friday.

In a news conference, Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin said the incident was ''probably a misunderstanding or accident.''

''No, well this was probably a misunderstanding or accident, we are not yet ready to classify this as an armed attack. I don't know kung 'yung mga nakita namin is mga bolo, ax, nothing beyond that,'' Bersamin said.

Presidential Assistant for Maritime Concerns Andres Centino said Friday that invoking the Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT) is not yet being considered despite the June 17 incident in Ayungin Shoal involving Philippine Navy sailors and Chinese Coast Guard personnel.

''That has not been—, your question about the invocation of the Mutual Defense Treaty, that has not been considered in our discussions,'' Centino said during a Palace press conference.

Philippines Says Latest China Clash Won’t Trigger US Treaty​

• Manila set to announce schedule of South China Sea missions
• Philippine business groups urge non-violent resolution to row

The cabinet official also said that the Southeast Asian nation is set to announce ahead of time when it will resupply a military outpost in the Second Thomas Shoal, which has been the epicenter of Manila’s territorial dispute with Beijing.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. accepted a maritime council’s recommendation to announce the missions, “which shall remain routinary and will be scheduled regularly,” said Bersamin.

Bersamin also said that China’s lack of prior knowledge about the Philippines’ resupply mission could’ve triggered the recent clash. He added that the Philippines’ move is “in the best interest of all parties” and that the nation will be publicizing the missions’ schedules “without giving up anything.”

WTF happened there? Did the CCG pop him on the head so hard he lost the ability to distinguish between languages so he just drifts like that when he talks now?
