Chinese president Xi Jinping has reportedly ordered the People's Liberation Army to prepare for combat. This comes ahead of an international tribunal on Tuesday that's expected to issue an unfavorable ruling against China's claims over the South China Sea. U.S.-based Boxun News said Tuesday that the instruction was given in case the United States takes provocative action in the waters once the ruling is made. The U.S. and China have been expanding their military activities across the sea, stoking heavy tension between the two superpowers. China controls roughly 90 percent of the South China Sea, a critical waterway that handles some five trillion U.S. dollars worth of trade every year. The Philippines filed a suit to The Hague tribunal in 2013, accusing Beijing of seizing Scarborough Shoal, a fishing area that Manila claims is part of its exclusive economic zone. It said China's extensive maritime claims don't conform to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea which was ratified by both countries. Since then, the country has stacked up 15 claims against China's vast territorial expansion. China opposes the arbitration process. It says it does not acknowledge the tribunal's jurisdiction, and will not accept its ruling. The Hague's ruling on Tuesday is binding but the court lacks powers of enforcement.
>China has lost a key international legal case over strategic reefs and atolls that it claims would give it control over disputed waters of the South China Sea. The judgment by an international tribunal in The Hague chiefly in favour of claims by the Philippines will increase global diplomatic pressure on Beijing to scale back military expansion in the sensitive area.

Fucking Chinks literally believe they rightfully own the world because of some crazy ass emperor thousands of years ago stating god said so.
We need to eliminate China now because they sure as shit wont stop at this.

Why should I give a fuck?
I will never get to experience 50s white America with a loyal wife and kids, a comfortable income, and a large house, so the human race can burn for all I care. I'm just glad all the shitskins, Jews and boomers in urban centers will get to taste that sweet, sweet nuclear fire before anyone else.

This. Those fucking chinks are crawling into every part of the Pacific like fucking ants. Idgaf about flips, but the chinks need to be slapped down. Hope America fucks them up good.
Jose Scott
Is it just coincidence that the US senate last month passed a bill which allowed female conscription?
Got to have a lot of able bodies on hand to fight the Chinks
Don't be stupid, do you honestly think your alliance is worth going to war with china? just like what happened in Ukraine if it comes to war the world will just turn the other way

You're right. But not EU in any shape or form. It's just EU trying to intervere and cry along with the big dogs.

China could literally settle in the middle of your country without you knowing about it.

this. there is literally zero incentive to go to war. I have nothing of value to protect. this country has money, sure. but the culture of our nation blows. so does the demographic.

It's not as bad as Black Lives Matter in my opinion. I would rather have a wife that says 3 sentences on a daily basis and that cries when I fuck her up the arse, than being raped myself by nigs.
Carter Anderson
Imagine that all the Filipino Lady boys go to war
Matthew Turner
I'm suprised australia only has 23 million people. The same population as taiwan. The chinks could use that land.
Luis Reyes
Yeah. Sure the Chinks are ready to destroy the world in a nuclear war with the United States... that makes a lot of sense.
Jacob Howard
I hope there's just a real happening soon, i'm tired of being a loser
Colton Carter
We needed to slap them over a decade ago. Unfortunately since they're a nuclear power there's only so much slapping to be done.
Realistically it would have been best to let Japan genocide the fucking Han but nooooo couldn't have that now could we?

You mean like the EU slaps Russia every now and then? Yeah that sure taught them a lesson.
Leo Parker
>War won't happen don't get excited Exactly. America will retreat with its tail between its legs again, while mumbling something about "best navy" and "could have won, but we don't want to fight," "moral high ground" leaving all its allies in the region to their fate. The USA have never defended an ally in the history of its existence, its not about to start now.

Dylan Ross
To be fair the island is a lot closer to the Phillipines than to China. China is in the wrong.
Landon Turner
How realistic is this if war between China and US broke out over incursions into Philo and Viet space.
>Philippines and Vietnam form coalition with the US against China >Australia and New Zealand join because we have stakes in the SEA region. >North Korea joins China >South Korea join coalition to avoid being purged by North Korea >Japan joins in because of all the US military bases in it and to support SK. >Taiwan joins coalition to avoid complete destruction >Russia join to curb the US influence so it can rip ass in the middle east unabated >Britain joins the US in solidarity >EU completely bitches out
And probably Singapore joins the coalition as well.
Me not believing the Happening happened some time ago makes me an untrue Dutchman?
Jackson Moore
China is decades away yeh, its a problem for them. The other problem is that after the U.S. navy (excluding the Russians who have no love for China anyway). The other strongest fleets in the world belong to the Japanese who are naturally in the same region, the RN which has little business in the Pacific right now but w.e and the French navy which actually wants to increase presence in the pacific region. So the deck is stacked so massively against them.
This is somewhat of a problem though, Japan is also under the impression that the U.S. is lackluster here which is why its wants a more multilateral deterrent in the Pacific. This is only going to increase the risk between all the states here and can honestly make minor events like the OP's more likely to escalate. While the U.S. is undoubtedly drawing lines in front of places like Japan, to the Asian countries it is far more important how the region is shaping up.
Carter Cooper
Kokoda track the sequel
Jose Diaz
As somebody who is joining up soon I would certainly fight for the USA, but I would have a hard time fighting for some random chinks that did not give two shits about my country until they needed money or military support, but if it is what my country sends me to do...
Josiah Williams
So will any action happen?
Hunter Cook
Shit nigga we are far away from 2077

You do not get things based on how close ou are to them. You get them by winning and defeating your enemy in combat. The time for war is now.

So literally no one?
Adam Green
? China has like half the tonnage of the US navy already built, and arming at a much faster pace They could easily beat a combined alliance of all their neighboring countries.
Caleb Lee
Chinks vs US women and Trannies. Jee I wonder who'll win. I wouldn't be surprised if in spirit of being progressive before the war the US orders all soldiers to fight in high heels. Being as stupid as Americans are they'll embrace it and heed the command.
