Chinese media reports that the situation in the South China Sea is expected grow more intense over the coming year, with one senior military official also declaring that China should be prepared to attack United States naval vessels, should the U.S. violate Chinese “territorial waters.” Dai Xu (戴旭), who is President of the Institute of Marine Safety and Cooperation, as well as a PLA Air Force Colonel Commandant, was quoted by the tabloid Global Times saying the following. "If the U.S. warships break into Chinese waters again, I suggest that two warships should be sent: one to stop it, and another one to ram it… In our territorial waters, we won't allow US warships to create disturbance." Referring to the increasingly regular Freedom of Navigation Operations (FONOPs) being carried out by the United States in the South China Sea, Dai said he couldn’t understand why people in China were afraid of using military force to counter U.S. FONOP activity.

China has a powerful military, which does include nuclear weapons. Not sure what their range may be, but their military is still not as powerful as is the U.S. military. Any show down could be up for grabs. Then with the end of the Korean conflict and the reunification of North and South, China will be relieved of a major headache there. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one."

The Chinkernese have been trotting out low-level party apparatchiks to threaten America ever since Bubba Clinton gave them the technology to not blow up their own rockets on the launch pad.
