US-PH version of salami slicing in the SCS is moving forward, the intention here is to "Normalize" intrusion into Chinese territories in the SCS. If China doesn't react, more countries will soon follow, Japan, India, Ukraine, and the rest of NATO. Then, when coast guard patrols are normalized, allied navies will start showing up.

At the invitation of the Philippines, the US Coast Guard will also be deploying its ships in the West Philippine Sea
The intention is clear, they want war

I would say China benefits from waiting awhile. To compare to ww2 timeline, China is currently where US was when the first Iowas and Essexs were being laid down, and Japan still had a larger navy with more CVs.

In that sense, China should wait until US fires it's first shot, which is likely to be a Pearl Harbor style attack on Chinese soil in Taiwan. The damage and scope of such an attack can be heavily limited to only propaganda value.

Honestly the value of Renjiao or Diaoyu are nearly 0. What China should aim at is high value territory that can sustain an empire in perpetuity, all of the Philippines, Japan, the whole Korean peninsula, Guam, Ryukyu, Midway and Hawaii. That is worth fighting a war over, and because of American economic malaise, the Americans themselves will bring that advantageous war to China.

people should relax about this kind of language really. this is international water. It takes a lot of fleet to send your ships half way around the world. Not something that can be sustained really. That's why it's generally not a good idea to keep your fleet far away from home

China does not own SCS by any international law. it's international water.

Correct sir, the battle is over when China built those strategic artificial island, SCS had begun a Chinese lake. I sometimes shared @PhSt opinion, these salami tactic is a mind game to gloat and intimidate China and hope she break. That's the US, PHIL, AUSTRALIA and Japan plan and there is NO PLAN B which is a kinetic conflict. Why? because those mentioned country don't want war in their backyard and are pushing among themselves where the theater is, Japan want it in SCS and maybe Taiwan same with SK, while the Philippine want it contained in Taiwan and want those bases as a conduit for that purpose.

Filipinos, SK, Japanese and most of us in ASIA had experience the agony of war, the scars are there. Until we free ourselves from the Anglo Saxon grip we can't express our voices and opinion as our Elites are politically captured by the US. That's the true topic and China threat is being used as a convenient cover up.
