Chine has installed a surveillance network on the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea. Recent satellite imagery shows a new structure that appears to be anchored on the north edge of the Bombay Reef, with solar panels and a radome on top. The Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative believes the dome to be an Ocean E-Station destined to be part of the Blue Ocean Information Network which China is building for "exploration, exploitation and control" of the region. China's interest is in claiming control of the area which is currently claimed by multiple countries and to prevent the US and other countries from entering the international waters around the islands. If this continues China may very well claim the area by right of possession in the same way it claims ownership of Tibet.

America ≠ USA ≠ west, your weak mindfuck was noted and rejected.
Yes, some people some time in the USA do make good things. However they are far outweighed by the horrible and evil deeds of the country. USA has fucked the world so long most other nations hate it.
Now that the USA is going down and China is coming up, nations will not help the USA despite any huge flaws with China. They might come to regret it later but now there is too much bad blood for this to go any other way.
USA has made its bed, now lie in it.
