Chinese Admiral Tells International Naval Forum that South China Sea Belongs to China
|It looks like the US and its allies should open a new front with the South China Sea issue and get the name of this body of water officially changed just like the South Koreans have been trying to do for years with the Sea of Japan:
In a rare appearance together, American and Chinese admirals sat alongside one another to present their views on maritime security in the Asia-Pacific region. The audience came to hear about one thing, the South China Sea, and China’s commander was clear: “It belongs to China.”
There was political theater and a few one-liners, as the panel remained cordial and the admirals were all smiles during handshakes before and after. But the tension was real and the messages direct.
“The South China Sea, as the name indicated, is a sea area. It belongs to China,” said Vice Adm. Yuan Yubai, who commands the North Sea Fleet for the People’s Liberation Army Navy. [Defense One]
You can read the whole thing at the link, but what I found most fascinating about the article was how direct these admirals were talking to each other about the issues in the South China Sea.
I am afraid I am going to have to support China’s claim.
Upon consideration, it is obvious the South CHINA Sea belongs to China.
Some Americans may disagree… but it is because they didn’t fully think this through.
This really strengthens the claim that South AMERICA belongs to the United States of America.
With this line of thinking, Singapore owns the music industry, Germany gets germs, and Mongolia has the lock on mongoloids.
I was trying to come up with a counter-argument but, well, I just can’t see any flaws in that logic.
“Singapore owns the music industry.”
Well, just the close-up shots…
BTW, given that it was named by the English, I think they have as good a claim to it as China.
The winner is probably Antigua and Barbuda…
…which gets the ants, the tig welders, the bars, and Buddha.
I feel bad for folks in Po’Land.
How the heck are they ever gonna get ahead?
Brazil gets the bras…
…but Canada gets nada.
And what is Montenegro going to do with them all? Will they sell me one?
😀
Mexico can claim a gulf, but India has them both beat. It can claim an entire ocean.
