The Pentagon reciprocated by promising to protect the Senkakus – the East China Sea islands controlled by Tokyo but also claimed by Beijing. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78314748 The National People’s Congress Standing Committee – China’s top legislative body, has given the Coast Guard the authority to use “any means necessary,” including firing on foreign ships, to protect areas where China claims jurisdiction, the South China Morning Post has reported, citing the text of the document. The legislation, passed Friday, also reportedly allows Coast Guard forces to launch pre-emptive attacks on foreign ships without prior warning if commanders deem such a step to be necessary, and includes a provision under which Coast Guard personnel can board and inspect foreign vessels. It also allows Coast Guard forces to destroy structures belonging to other countries built in areas claimed by China. Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Hua Chunying said that the law is in line with international practices, adding that Beijing “will remain committed to upholding peace and stability in the sea.” Beijing claims control of wide swathes of the South China Sea – a strategic maritime area that serves as a key passage for international shipping and is a major source of untapped fishing and hydrocarbon resources. Parts of the body of water are also claimed by Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines and Taiwan. The US, which is not a claimant in the dispute, began carrying out "freedom of navigation" missions in the region in the early 2010s, after then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton branded the body of water a "matter of US national interest." Beijing has repeatedly criticised US "meddling" in the region, and demanded that the region’s nations be allowed to sort out the dispute independently. [link to sputniknews.com (secure)] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78314748 A total of six J-10 fighters, four J-16s, two SU-30s, a Y-8 reconnaissance aircraft and two Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft, were sent by China, the ministry said in a statement. It follows China sending eight nuclear-capable bombers and four fighter jets into the same airspace on Saturday. Taiwan's air force was sent up to respond, the statement said. "Airborne alert sorties have been tasked, radio warnings issued and air defense missile systems deployed to monitor the activity," said the ministry. China, which continues to claim Taiwan as its own territory, in recent months has conducted almost daily flights over the waters between the southern part of Taiwan and the Pratas Islands. However these flights have generally consisted of only one or two reconnaissance aircraft. The presence of so many Chinese combat aircraft on this mission — including an anti-submarine aircraft, eight H-6K bombers, and four J-16 fighter jets — is unusual. A map provided by Taiwan's Defense Ministry showed that the Chinese aircraft flew over the same waters where the most recent Chinese missions have been taking place, well away from mainland Taiwan. Response from Washington News of the incursion brought a swift statement from the US State Department, urging China to stop pressuring Taiwan while reaffirming its commitment to the nation.

Without the original use of force, Scotland and Ireland would be separate from the UK. Those modern societies have voted on multiple occasions (at least, in Ulster) to be a part of the UK. But there are still very large groups in those regions who wish to be separate. The ROC is on the other end of the spectrum. I’m not arguing about globalism. I’m arguing that in absence of the force required to take political control, either from a change in morality or ability, the local population is the only group suited to choose it’s political organization. If China were to forcibly reacquire Taiwan, it would be conquest and therefore imperialism. Regardless of whether or not China has machinations to control the whole world through globalization. And let’s not pretend like China doesn’t manipulate nations worldwide for their own influence either. They’ve been involved in politics in the Middle East, SA, Africa and elsewhere for several decades. |
