After swarming Pag-asa in the Kalayaan Island Group, Chinese vessels believed to be part of China’s maritime militia have been seen close to two other Philippine-occupied islands in the South China Sea.

Some of the Chinese ships and boats were spotted as close as 1 kilometer off Kota (Loaita) and Panata (Loaita Cay), about 24 km south of Pag-asa (Thitu) Island, the biggest of nine islands and shoals occupied by Filipinos in the Spratly Island chain, according to US-based think tank Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative (Amti).

It’s like they are intent on demonstrating they can be as imperialist as the colonial powers were.
This is a problem China is going to face in the future. With their predatory loans and confiscation of collateral, the people in those countries are going to feel the same way they did about any other empire who tried to dominate another country.

China is setting itself up for an empire that is going to rebel in the future, and they won't be able to oppress like they do at home.

I like the bit about the US exploring the grey area between peace and war.
China’s ignored every international norm regarding international boarders even going so far as to rewrite history books to sell it at home.
Most of the South China Sea their trying to claim as their own is international waters. They could just start building platforms and drilling using the military to protect them. But no let’s sail into Vietnam’s territory and seize platforms. It’s like they are intent on demonstrating they can be as imperialist as the colonial powers were.
Voila! no real conflict, but there’s no victory in that. Their going to pick a fight until they start a war or significant numbers die, such a waste.

 There may be a greater risk of incidents between the United States and Chinese navies in the South China Sea because the US military has been given more decision-making authority, a Chinese think tank warned on Tuesday.

In a report, the think tank said the White House National Security Council had become less involved in US military activities in the disputed region, despite an increase in their frequency and intensity.

“The US military will continue intensifying military operations in the South China Sea, constantly exploring the grey zones between peace and conflict, and probing China’s bottom line, which will inevitably push the threshold of small-scale armed conflict and war,” according to the report released by Peking University’s South China Sea Strategic Situation Probing Initiative.
