China Answers Japan Oil Rig Concern With Joint-Development Offer

It's the other way around. China moved the rigs there after your overtures to the Philippines. The latter would not even be able to take Taiping Island from Taiwan, much less move on PRC-held positions. Gas exploration is the same lever that has brought Japan back to the table every time.

Is Japan stronger than US, is China scared of US, this is it.

Like I said, let our diplomats sort this out. We have to allow them to do their duties, hopefully its not perfunctory.

In return for kicking out US forces and influence, fine. See, China isn't a imperialist country that just wants it all. It just doesn't want the enemy stationed a couple hundred miles from it's borders. Just like the US wouldn't accept huge Chinese military bases in Cuba or Mexico.

Not sure how oil rigs have anything to do with American forces in the region. And China has stated that it all belongs to China. A well known fact.

Joint development ? How ?
Does anyone know the reason why we only deploy oil rigs around so called middle line ?
I will give my answer later , it is really funny.
