The shipping lane will be shut down in case of war regardless, and the people who most like to do it are the Chinese. It is simple, Chinese ships require a large area of safety around the vessels because they copied American style of defense from attacks launched by Vietnam airplanes from the land. Thus, no civilian ship nor plane can go inside Chinese zone within 200 km radius. Making the 200 km dot for each Chinese ship that would be participating in the hypothetical war and we have the effective shutting down of the entire SCS's shipping lane.GOOD ! How ur Vietnam Navy check whether the cargo ships belong to China/Korea/Japan/Other third nations ? If Vietnam shutdown the South China Sea or shot down cargo ships, it's a WAR signal to above East-Asia nations, most r export nations.
Vietnam on the other hand doesn't use a large naval force and is not likely to be scare of sneak attack on our water so it is not likely to commence such defensive zone.
cnleio sounds more reasonable than you. "Brute" and "barbaric" are the adjectives that describe this type of comment very well.Don't lie. Your boat is inside 3 miles we warned to not enter. You do not listen and you pay the price. Now you cry to the world? Only idiot will listen to your plead.
