Good. About time China stop playing and finally decided to secure the SCS. If US wants to contain China, then tough luck the rest of the countries on the region will have to suffer.
So time to build all the islands possible, station military systems, naval bases, airfields, radars etc to control the nearby seas there
I am starting to think that China may be helping Russia right now.
As you probably know, there is an alarming rise in tensions in the Ukraine. The Americans have been supplying weapons to Ukraine, and the Ukrainians appear to be preparing for war. Russia may be on high alert.
So China reminds the US rulers that there is more for them to worry about than just the Ukraine. The kerfluffle near the Philippines with 200 Chinese fishing boats, and the flight of mainland warplanes near Taiwan -- these could be China redirecting at least some US pressure from the Russians.
