The Ministry of Defense of China responded to the Pentagon's statements about "assistance in stabilizing the situation around the disputed islands"

The command of the People’s Liberation Army of China (PLA) has responded to the Pentagon’s claim that additional military bases will soon be deployed in the Philippines to those five US military bases already in this state. Recall that Washington said that such an agreement with the official Manila will be signed in the near future, and "this will help stabilize the situation around the disputed islands."

We are talking about the Spratly archipelago, to which in addition to the Philippines and China, several other countries of the region, including Malaysia, Vietnam and Brunei, claim. The United States is habitually willing to act as a gendarme, which usually leads only to an escalation of the conflict.

At the moment, the ships of the US Navy and the Philippines are, as noted in the Pentagon, a joint patrol of the waters of the South China Sea. US actions have caused outrage in Beijing. The representative of the Defense Ministry of China noted that the United States and Manila, speaking of the stability in the region, do everything to break this stability.

TASS cites the statement of the official representative of the PLA:

Joint patrols of the South China Sea, carried out by the United States and the Philippines, lead to the militarization of the region, which negatively affects peace and stability in it. We call on the parties concerned to respect the efforts of the States of the region to preserve peace and stability in the South China Sea.

The statement adds that Beijing will closely monitor the situation and respond adequately to this development. Considering that the PRC authorities usually try to avoid extreme wording, such a statement about an official representative of the PLA can be regarded as quite sharp (by Chinese standards).

Wherever the coulters popped their bloody snout, wars began.
China should hurry up with countermeasures.

Where America is puffing up, now it will not be able to squint anywhere with impunity. Everywhere they look after it and put it in its place.

Now they can only threaten and no more, for more they have a small intestine.

I agree. As Napoleon called China, "a sleeping giant in the tropics" and woe to everyone if he wakes up, but for now, the Celestial Empire only rubs his eyelids.

China is ready to accept the challenge!

You would not have reacted! On the Quiet missile defense system, wherever you hit, you don't stick. And on ballistics from there it flies faster to America with a "tailwind"

The Americans can no longer cope with China, however ...

There will be no escalation, it will cost mutual notes of protest, as it was more than once in the past.

It would be good for China to act more actively in defending its interests to the peak of the United States.
And then the Americans have long been fixated on actions against Russia.
And Russia in case of serious complications will support China ...

China is already active in buying up high-tech enterprises in the United States. Even Congress has taken care that the American industry is in the hands of the Chinese. And China wants to deploy its missiles on Spratly Atoll.

Is it necessary? What are our interests in the South China Sea? It will be enough verbal statements of our Foreign Ministry, with an appeal to refrain from the use of force.
China is somehow not very harnessed for our interests neither in Crimea, nor in the DPR, nor in Syria. We will observe, just like the Chinese.

[Observer2014]

"The Ministry of Defense of the People's Republic of China reacted to the Pentagon's statements about" assistance to stabilize the situation around the disputed islands. "
What is it! The Japanese on guano because of the Kuriles "come out". These are because of the islands. What a horror.
And the Chinese, without military victories, will not be when the superpower will not be there. Let them draw conclusions.

And what, the hegemon really gets to fight with China over the disputed islands? Don’t tell my slippers. He wanted to spit on the Philippines, and on Japan. Hollywood, in a word.

[GYGOLA]

Yes, yes, here the goal is clearly not China. Conspiracy? Surround from the east? Paranoia? aaaaaaaa .... What is this? The most real tactics and strategy. If that, pull not only China.

[Rostislav]

States fear a strengthening of both Russia and China.
The method of counteraction is the same - to destabilize the situation at the borders, create hotbeds of tension and get into the process as a mediator in the negotiations. Make sure that the conflict does not stop.
And the words that they say at the same time, normal people have not paid attention to for a long time.
Judge by their deeds ...

[pavelty]

In general, most likely armed conflicts can hardly be expected, but China, if anything, can drag it in ...

[demiurg]

For some reason, in Europe they are sure that whoever has the money rules the world. Meanwhile, China has probably bypassed the United States in the production of capital goods. Not iPhones, not services for shaving hair on the ass and whitening the anus (which is added to the GDP in Europe and the USA), namely, machine tools, machines, and metal.
Pikul seemed to have observed that at sunset of the Empires, men began to drag men. If you look at Europe and the USA, then in spite of their formidable armies, it becomes clear that a new Atilla will appear soon.
And Russia, as before Egypt, India, China, will survive this short time in the historical framework, 3-4 centuries of the sudden dominance of Europe and the United States.
After another 300-400-500 years in the textbooks, the expansion of Europe will be compared with the raids of the Tatar-Mongols and the Huns. Students will be amazed how civilizations threatening China or Egypt could have appeared in the nuclear wasteland of North America and Western Europe.
