Don't accept everything you read on social media. Who would have guessed. Not much of a connection with the South China Sea specifically, though, other than the PRC's involvement. Change the thread title to PRC foreign policy?

 

[Grey Havoc]

Sorry, replied to this earlier, but the post disappeared somehow. No need to change the thread name, I think.

I really hope I don't end up in Hawaii. They'll be the first casualty if the U.S. can't stop being antagonistic.

 

[Foo Fighter]

Such optimism can only come from the PRC. Shirley.

Are these transits allowed under international maritime law?

By now, pretty much everyone has noticed or should have noticed how much influence China holds over many international corporations.

Yup, I'm pretty sure we're about to find out just how totalitarian a world China will literally buy for the rest of us. I suspect market based tools will be far more effective than armies of little green men at the border in bringing about such an authoritarian Hell.
