    Amerikan logic: China sending boats off their coast is banditry. USA sending aircraft carriers a thousand miles away from their nearest territory however is ensuring freedom of trade.

    Edit: also this is the whole SCS claims:

    Doesn’t look nearly as bad for China. Territorial waters extend 12 miles into the sea, so they’re not infringing on that, but the exclusive economic zone (where a state can exploit resources) extends 200 miles. The SCS is so occupied that all of it counts as an Exclusive Economic Zone, there is not one drop of water in there that doesn’t belong to anyone, much less different states.

    However I’d be interested to know why China is claiming these waters (AND what exactly they are claiming; territorial waters or exclusive economic zone or what else) and what they hope to do with it, as most of the info you find on this is lib shit. I’m not even sure the map above is accurate or has an anti-China slant for all I know.
