So maybe China should start paying off smaller nations and building airstrips and leave international water alone?

China will not be the nation to start a war, with the US or a US ally. They won't even take,a definitive role against ISIS and everyone hates ISIS except maybe Saudi Arabia.

When forced to decide between two party's here, who both give a damn about international law, I would equally slap both into their faces. Plainly spoken.
Kindergarten, that's how I would call this whole scenario. As if we don't have any Syriaous problems right now...

This is option that China should be open too, if they can cine to financial and military agreements.
Honestly I don't know what the solution is. But the absolute last, and impossible to consider solution at this point is war.
War cannot be an option anymore.

Since I already quoted China saying they will not accept a UN resolution, and the fact China said they will fire first, your entire post is rendered meaningless and wrong.
China will not allow a UN solution, and have said they WILL start a war.
Your move.

Sticking my head between my legs and kissing my ass goodbye in a Nuclear War is not an option.
We haven't even discussed financial sanctions. The US has many allies and could seriously damage the Chinese economy.
Thw wealthy in China don't want war or sanctions. At some point they will have to make up their minds.

Everyone is reacting to US military insanity. Our leaders have shown no respect for the law. Why should China and Russia respect the law?

I have no other side to take. And currently we are talking about the waters off China's coast, and there is no reason to expect that they are a threat to their neighbors at this point.

What does the US have to do with this? You support China's illegal confiscation of land belonging to other countries?

Building an artificial airfield in international waters is a direct threat to every Asian nation. WTH are you talking about? This is the Chinese flexing saying "make a move"

There is no reason for them to war with any of their neighbors. The only nation they are afraid of is the US. Obviously they feel they need this to protect themselves from US intervention.
And they see this as a necessary buffer zone. This is a UN problem. The US are not the world police.

I provided alternative solutions to flexing US military muscle. I don't condone China's behavior. I simply said that they may have a point about the space they need to protect themselves from US aircraft carriers.
If the US is the "Good Guys" then we should look at solutions that don't involve a US aircraft carrier.
Thier is no reason to believe that Chinese is a threat to the Philippines. They don't need those islands to take out the Philippines. But a US aircraft carrier is a threat to China.

Yeah, what makes you not acknowledge that the US is also doing that for it's national security as well.
Isn't that what China is doing here as well? After all both US and China are bullies, it's just that the US does in the guise of helping allied nations, while it's not the case for China and Russia. Would you not agree?

What about reconnaissance planes? I mean the US wouldn't be breaking international law since those waters are.... international
