I think this incident sets a pretty striking precedent. It shows the world that China is willing to use force against a US treaty ally, and doesn't face much consequence in doing so. Anyone else notice that the US is pretty quiet about this?

Also sends a message that Philippines is on their own if shit hits the fan, despite all the hoohaa about the kangaroo court arbitration just a couple days ago

stick fighting isn't really count as "willing to use force" in today standard . china did that before with india who have nuclear weapon ...the fight even more serious than this (soldiers die both side)

india china no guns treaty exist for a reason ...so ...yeah guns fire matter that the minimum requirement for "willing to use force"
