Dear Paul1405,

Go to bed, have a good night sleep, and when you wake up in the morning it will all be gone. No more China, no more South China Sea, no more web news. It will all be gone. It's all just a figment of Mr Opinion's imagination.

Mr O,

Could you please explain the reasons for the involvement of the United States in all this? After all its not in their backyard and therefore they should have no territorial claims. Put simply, what business is it of theirs, if not to inflame the situation and pick a fight with the Chinese.

Would the same question need a response if it was Australia being bullied and international laws being broken, Paul1405?

The US is quietly looking to start a war anywhere it can get one.
It's a battle to keep the petrodollar as the worlds reserve currency.

They start wars that keep the oil flowing in US Dollars (and support Israels agenda in the M/E) and undermine other rival global superpowers.
