Bravo Sierra, I asked a few specific questions in the spirit of your challenge. What is holding you back from answering them honestly? You brushed them aside in your last reply. I've only seen you admit the flaws of the US in regards to Johnston Atoll. But I'm asking specifically about a rival claimant in the SCS. Don't give me how many years Chinese this or Chinese that and whatever about convincing me, my questions were specifically about Vietnam's actions in the SCS and what your position is in regards to that claimant's actions. It is you who at this point is debating dishonestly.
Which post of yours do you want him to respond to lol?
I can't tell with so many people popping in and out in this thread.
nfgc, dude, just directly answer the part of Joshuatree's post which you left out... this part:
If you refuse to answer it then that is fine, but you're choosing to ignore that specific part of his question and not even acknowledging it, which obviously is not in the nature of good discussion.

Nevermind, found it! He didn't quote me so I never got a notification.
You seem to have a knack for ignoring inconvenient facts. Again, I refer you to my post:
I'm talking about the impact of the Chinese reclamation activities on the SCS reefs. That the Vietnamese reclamation is smaller is irrelevant. 4 artificial islands out of hundreds of reefs have a negligible impact on the regional ecosystem. On the contrary, much like observatories in a forest, those islands can serve as bases for improved enforcement against illegal fishing, which would result in much greater benefit to the reef ecosystem in the region.

Sorry you have not provided any historical evidence to me after many repeated attempts of me asking. You were the one wanting to step up to defend the historical title but looks like you now want to step down from it. It is fine by me.
I thought I told you I'd let you go as I got bored.
Alright, here is a fix for you.
Let's see. How about this?
We both know, however, that you won't.
Tick-tock.

Sorry but the world doesn't revolves around you. It is imperative for you to prove me otherwise. You know there are tons of evidence showcasing China's historical activities through out those islands, you're just refusing the facts by trying to win the argument at all cost. Looks like you're running out excuses as well as time. Ignore history at one's own peril.

Our ongoing conversation exemplifies the irrationality of a discussion that is just going round in circles. In my last post I had already provided a graceful exit for you but you seem to want to prolong a senseless conversation and so I will statisfy you.
You are right that the world doesn't resolve around me but isn't that point both useless and irrelevant. Can we just be rational like if you are making an assertion you that you provide the evidence to support it. If you are unable or unwilling, then your position is simply unfoundered. Whether there are tons of evidence out there is irrelevant. It is not my job to search for what might constitute the evidence you have in mind but for you to present your case.
