What is China's end game in militarizing islands which they didn't own?

...

Fishing, resources and exert influence over SEA

...

Why not influence india or Mongolia, SK or NK? Why SEA?

To say they have a legit claim to them and make it impossible for others to occupy them without war. They thing this will let them claim a lot of the sea and it's also why they've been making islands even though it's not how international maritime law works.

Seems comfy now to live in a military island.

...

>Mongolia,
Kek Mongolians hate the Chinese and are in the sphere of Russian influence.
>SK
After supporting and protecting NK all these years I don't think it'd be time well spent.

NK is already largely dependent on Chinese trade, aid and weaponry.
SK is firmly allied with the US
I'm not sure about Mongolia, they seem pretty unaligned but maybe it would piss of Russia
SEA has tonnes of resources like oil and rubber so it's probably more strategic and lucrative

Does Chinese see us as more submissive countries than it's East asian neighbors?

SEA countries tend to be poorer and more corrupt so easier to use and influence. Didn't your president recently pledge stronger alligence with China.

No one here knows what Chinese think and if they say they do, they especially do not.

Yes. We're losing the 4D chess game internationally as always.

Did Confusius say that?

They are hurting the environment!

Must be punished!

As opposed to nuking an island for testing?

BIKINI ATOLL NEVER FORGET

>They are hurting the environment!
Forgotten the USS Guardian?

Because everyone is doing it and serve as tripwires for important installations.

Because sea cunts are not united, not rich, not powerful and isn't a submissive cunt to russia or usa (which isn't necessary a good thing)
SK relies on usa, mongols rely on russia.
Now sea cunt can be better if asean is actually a thing that also encourages military alliance, but hell no, they all are like heh that guy fucked up let's just laugh at them.
China be like ummm… so even when there's a war usa and russia won't do much, and they won't be causing any influence on economy even when they tried… so let's just fuck with them because having those islands will gain resources (strategically useful too) plus those sea niggers will be more scared of china, and that's a good thing because they just won't like china since they're just jews of asia (singapoor is a proof)

the sea around the islands is deep enough to hide their nuclear missile submarines, while the conventional chinese water lies on very shallow continental shelf, making them vulnerable to detection.

Controling the trade routes

all the goodies are in Africa, Middle east and India

its still better to trade using ships, Mountains are barriers while oceans are highways

And for us they want to steal our Gas, its crucial for cooking our food and producing electricity

so far they haven't liquid oil in our waters
or maybe they have, they just dont want to share their findings unless we bow down to them forever
either way awe are forbidden by them to explore our own waters

Oh fucking kill yourself, Clap. Your nation does nothing but aggressively place military bases in placed they have no business being in.
Speaking of international law, your military literally acts like a terrorist group, so pipe the fuck down.
Christ I hate the sheer hypocrisy and ignorance of your average American.
