What do we do about expansionist China?

What do we do about expansionist China?

>China

>oh no china claims some uninhabited rocks that seagulls shit on

Nothing. The Philippines is already open to negotiating an agreement with China to set the borders.

Encourage Taiwanese formal independence and separatism in Hong Kong.

End the "One China" myth.

It's more that they're just creating these rocks and then saying that they've always owned them.

The Chinese are right on that, though. This is an ethno-nationalist board.

>china claims outer mongoloia
>china claims vietnam
>china claims laos
>china claims russian far east
No biggie.

I don't care if they're right or not.

The point is, losing Taiwan and Hong Kong will undermine China as a potential threat.

It's not the islands they're claiming. They're claiming the water as well. They call it their blue soil. Everything inside the 9 dash line is supposedly theirs

Also this
And the Chinese fishermen trespassing into others' territorial waters.
And the Chinese colonizing African states
And the Chinese fucking around in OUR HEMISPHERE including building a canal in Nicaragua

If that's what you want, start arming Uyghurs and Tibetans.

China is just feeling out the world right now. If you allow them to expand their sphere of influence unchecked, they won't stop. If you punch them in the jaw, they will act butthurt for awhile, but won't actually do anything.

Anyway, they have absolutely no force projection capabilities. The only way to lose a war against China would be to try invading the mainland. Cripple their navy, blockade their trade and they slowly starve. A trade embargo with the US would ruin everything for them, and they know this.

>canadian flag
>defends China

everytime

China is a superpower.

You can't expect them to act like the shithole countries they're surrounded by.

They got to the negotiating table because Philippines decided they hate you now, so China is giving them a piece of the pie.

Economic war now. Let the cards fall where they may.

>arming Tibetans
They'll just burn themselves again.

we do nothing.

Blow up the dam on the Yangtze.

Losing Taiwan and Hong Kong would be a much more embarrassing blow.

China's blunt policies are already driving up support for independence in Hong Kong rapidly. I predict this trend will continue.

Very little can be done when their economy is the biggest in the world.

Chyna

send other gooks like Japs, Mongols, Tibetans, South East Asians against them, and also a race based virus that targets specifically Chinese ethnic.

Meh might makes right.
Like Israel in the middle east and Russia.

I also thought of that, the problem though is that the Tibetans are doing the peaceful way of things. Pretty gay if you think about it; he Tibetan mountains would be prime real estate for guerrilla tomfoolery.

But an unstable and corrupt economy.

tariffs?

They haven't annulled our treaties yet, and if they do move to China then they will crawl back to us when they realize that china won't work out.

when the tariffs crash their economy their military will become weak.

Of course they haven't - sitting on two chairs is the best option. As long as one side doesn't implode, that is.
t. Yugoslavia after the dissolution of the Soviet union

...build more elevators and escalators.....they are kryptonite to Chinese......

You can only play two sides against each other if you have something of value worth fighting over. The Philippines are not worth fighting for, so they will not move an inch and we won't have to do much to keep them there.

kinda seems like wishful thinking

I doubt we'll have strong enough tariffs
Their economy has been transitioning towards a middle class Chinese consumer-led market
Their military has been growing stronger and stronger these past decades. A market crash will set it back somewhat, but their economy will recover eventually like ours always does

their economy is the biggest bubble of all time. it was going to crash even if hillary was elected.
