It is international waters, ships can sail through

U.S. should allow the countries involved to negotiate and solf their dispute rather than inciting them against one another

China won't allow settlement. It wants to annexe the whole sea for itself

Alaye, stop the copy and paste and answer my question

That's international water. Ships can sail through it

Brother, The US under Obama “pivoted to Asia” because in their recent military doctrine, the United States see China as an imminent threat to her global hegemony. It use to be Russia that was on record as her number 1 enemy but now Russia is number 2.

US has never let any peer power access her sphere of influence in the Americas. Remember how the US blockaded Cuba during the missile crises?

US is the one meddling in Asia. They have now signed a deal with Australia to bring nuclear arms closer to region, despite the fact they have existing nuclear deterrence in South Korea and Japan.

The ultimate plan is to surround China and Russia with enough nuclear warheads to achieve a successful first strike therefore making MAD irrelevant.

That’s why these two nations are leaving their region to establish bases in Africa and Middle East to counter US

China and Russia are too preoccupied with establishing bases in Africa and the ME to realize that the US, Canada, Britain, etc. pulling out of Afghanistan was a very strategic move. Anyone who knows the geographical location of Afghanistan and why the country was of significance already knows that the Taliban is now China and Russia’s problem. Too bad China and Russia don’t realize that yet.

pls no need to lecture the idiotttt

He’s a Muslim he’ll always hate the US, same thing with all Muslims they hate US and the west but you see them running to western countries instead of their jihadi terrorist countries like Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia


The truth is the authority of this world has been given to the west (Christians nations) nothing Islamic terrorist can do about it they’ll continue to wail until their religion start declining and fade out of this world soon

Islamphobia born out of insensitive.


God have the power to make us all Christian , Muslim or other worshippers but choose to make it this way so why the hate? Live and let others do. The intolerance in Christianity alone is enough to draw sheep away. They are talking about US and CHINA ,you still fine your way to show your real self.

What sort of nonsense is this? There is an international law on international waters. A country cannot just wake up one day and claim a large area of international waters because she has weaker neighbours.

Why should China build military bases on international Waters? Why must commercial ships take permission from China before passing through international waters?

Do you even know this means that in the event of diplomatic crisis with Nigeria, China can ban Nigeria oil export to Japan,Taiwan and other Asian tiger nations which can only be accessed by the south China sea?

I hate when ignorant minds spew trash in public forum.

If USA was minding their business and refused to abolish slave trade since it stripped Africans of their dignity, I am sure you would have been a slave today working in one white man farm.

I have come to realize that most people love their oppressors and despise their saviours. How are nigerians even treated between an average American and Chinese company? Even the democracy you enjoy today and have the power to spew trash online without harassment was given to you by America.

It is obvious that something is inherently wrong with many black people

Which part of it belongs to US?

This question you asked is obviously never understood by the lot of misinformed chaps around this forum who see our world only from a binary view.

The US never ever questioned China's claims to the South China Sea until the 1950s when the POC effectively became the power in China. The anti Chinese claims became even more ramped up from the late 80s when large deposits of hydrocarbons were discovered under the islands straddling the sea.

Has anyone on this forum bortherd to at least preview the very many treaties on the South China Sea from the 1870s? Some responders to your comment genuinely assume that the US activities there is out of love for China's neighbours...really? People still haven't seen through this diplomatic charade at this stage of international relations?

Imagine Chinese or Russian subs crawling around the US Gulf Coast or even the Caribbean. Imagine China carrying out naval exercises in the Mediterranean. Why would any African accept that the US and Philippines (their former colony) can carry out naval activities in the South China Sea without a Chinese reaction?

There is claim of some international sea demarcation treaty from the 1980s. And accusations of China building artificial islands around the Pratly...the US have bases in Guam and Midway. The US would build same artificial islands of it was the one with China's disadvantage. Why are Africans so conditioned to take the side of the West (particularly America) without at least having a critical understanding of the matter at hand?

UncleKoboko:

Hope you know that the US is basically doing the above. By ganging up with her allies, arbitrarily imposing sanctions on other and even coercing weaker nations into enforcing such sanctions.

Thank you Jared. No one ever tried to fact-check informations gotten from these media outlets. They just swallow everything hook, line and sinker

No China won't obey any western intl law that was designed by the west to favour the west only. China is now a military power and it won't be pushed around by the west that's the main reason the west is having problem with China. U.S does whatever she feels its right for her without any one questioning her.

The Chamorro people of Guam have been crying for independence from America for years calling on UN to tell America to vacate their Island that America annexed forcefully in 1898 but America has done everything in her powers to suppress their effort. Guam is seen as U.S territory today but the indigenous Chamorros are not recognised as U.S citizens, they can't vote or be voted for they don't enjoy the rights of an American citizen. They are a people without nationality.

China and Russia are the only ones violating intl laws according to the west..Well, may be you people don't read or think. China knows what it is doing by militarizing the South China sea. It is a survival strategy they have to do. U.S bases around is like putting a loaded gun to China's head, those islands are their first line of defence in a military clash with America and its thugs. It's a strategy of sparing the homeland from attack as the battle would be concentrated on those artificial islands.

Those artificial islands are China's shields. China is a rising super power that won't be cowed by one western intl law designed to put other people in a state of subservience under the guise of obeying rules based order.

When the matter on ground is about your survival and security you have to break that western intl law and do the needful. And that's what U.S and its western thugs had been doing. So if China, Russia and others who have the power to do it do the same. Should we see them as devil? Stop thinking like a slave.

If you are not going to read and comprehend what you copy and paste you should at least be more selective about your source.

So much is flawed but let me address Guam.

The economy is Guam almost totally is dependent on two things: revenue from the US Military bases there and tourism which is made up of those visiting American military personnel. If the US gave the people you mentioned their wish, those people would soon starve. Without military personnel stationed there, no one would visit Guam and the tourism industry there would collapse.

Usual response from a typical muslim. Even the op is muslm. Muslims are hypocrites. They love china that discriminates against Islam but hate US that allow them to practise islam.

Pure definition of confusion.

So this is all you could come up with? Anyway it shows you are an ignoramus this is an intellectual discourse for God sake. I was expecting something better but as usual you can't deny or argue against the truth. That's why i love arguing with undeniable facts in this foreign section and no western slave has been able to engage me intellectually the only response i get is "You are a muslim, a terrorist" lol. Anyway enjoy your day.

It is international waters, ships can sail through

You aren't well informed about this. When was the last time a Chinese warship or submarine surfaced around the US Gulf Coast?

The South China Sea is claimed by China, Taiwan, Philippines and Vietnam. Non of them consider the sea and most especially it's islands as "international" waters. Even the US never countered Chinese claims until 1954! And that's only after the communist take over of China.

Lol, but you here in Nigeria already understood the strategic move better than the world power leaders!!! Nigerians can't stop to be funny. When China already recognize the authority of Taliban in Afghanistan before USA left right! Everyone just spewing rubbish to have a say in a matter beyond their reasoning. I am just reading comments and laughing.

Who is Taiwan to United States? Maybe if you answer that, you will understand the reason why they were there. Moreover it's an international waterways, being claimed by several other nations aside China....

Any water d US wants to trespass they refer to as international waters, that's how they called the Iranian persia gulf "international waters" bcus their war ship is there. Taiwan was part of China b4 japan invaded China. The US is currently occupying northeast syria stealing their oil in broad day light, even Trump said it himself, that American troops in northeast Syria is only their for d oil. U think every country would b subservient to d United States, that's y I respect countries like Russia, China, North Korea,

Lovenorth:

It was given to us by the UN not America, America also respect the UN resolutions

Big fact lie, US invaded Iraq killing 100 of thousands of people dead and millions displaced without UN consent, what about
Afghanistan, lybia, Syria, Sudan, Vietnam, Korea etc

So the indigenous people don't deserve their freedom because of the money from US military bases? Its amazing how you guys defend nonsense. It just like a slave master who feeds his slaves and says he won't free them because they would starve despite the fact that that's what they want.

You really made valid points bro but it reeks hatred for the United States. I don't understand that part but back to the real issues, United States did not call a water international waterways.... There is a reason it is called international waterways and every country agreed to that... Please just search for it on Google.... With you lacking objectivity in your comment, I doubt you would want to see that...
