  • China has not studied the sea international law in 1982. A big country, but nobody was studying law! stupid!

  • The U.S. strategy is to cut the Chinese off from access to natural resources and is worried about competition as a world power. China is a threat to the empire and the Phillipines has never really been nothiing more than a conquest and a concubine.

  • chinese is power weapon but man si weak

  • kapag nagkaroon kami ng malakas na armas...lintik lang walang ganti china...

  • As i recall Nazis Germany and Imperial Japan were in the middle of diplomatic peace talks and in the making of international policy and treaties when they assault and invade other countries and started worldwar.. is this what Chinese Defence minister Liang Guanglie is doing right now?

  • China are showing off their military muscles to the world most specially to countries with territorial dispute over south china sea On their preparation for their oil drills to commence anytime soon. well prepared by their brand new aircraft carrier with their newly developed stealth jets and aggressive sea patrol no doubt they are planning to do aggressive action to claim it.

  • @nonoway1 The Paracel Islands have been unclaimed territories just like the North Pole before the Northern countries started fighting over it. There is no right or wrong to who owns the place. The only determining factor is who got bigger ships loaded with bigger missiles. The American presence and especially the creationg of the 2 island chains in the west pacific is a great reflection.

  • @nonoway1 ......China would be really dumb if it really followed international law. The essence of international politics is all about how much land & resources you can take while also leaving yourself a bad reputation. This is what the White House is so good at; using its powerful media to whitewash any sin it commits. At the same time, China is new to the game, leaving a bad trail of fingerprints as it commits the same thing the Americans have already done since few centuries earlier.

  • Chinese must stay away from 200 nautical mile Philippine teritory...Idiots!!!
