Don't say "I want peace" in front and behind "Send lots of battle ship out to threaten others ". People laught at you as a liar big boy...and do not respect you anymore. People will fight against you and look down you.
Just say " I want to be King of SCS " then " Send your powers out to prove ".
Just do it and admit it, then you are gentlemen. People will fight against you but admire you as a straight man.
Peaceful rising...in Chinese style....ha...ha...ha...means using battleships to bully others, means robbing and shouting for help at the same time...ha..ha...ha
