LOL, doesn't China need to finish its island construction activities first before it does more reclamation of other islands? One step at a time would be wise I bet.
Isn't Malaysia the country that the US tries to keep in the TPP despite the human trafficking issue? Washington would be happy if Malaysia is outrage at China.
I see. But I think America will have its new "Vladimir Putin" like president in 2016. So be weary of much more confrontation from us if it happens. Xi Jinping will have to work extra hard on military and economy until then to prepare for it. Just my 2 cents.
I have no idea that there are tensions between Cambodians and Vietnamese. Many Vietnamese I met never mentioned them when it comes to the situation surrounding Vietnam. Instead they talk about China doing this and that.
Those with might create influence and make the unequal rules on weaker parties since WW II. Washington still sees China as weak and unequal. We still have 10 nuclear carriers vs 1 Chinese training carrier.
China is also not a party to UNCLOS.
