    Is it ok for China to agress its weaker neighbors then? And who should those countries turn towards for help? And how do you expect this help to materialize in practice?

      Where is China “aggressing” anyone? Do you think the USA, lol, is there to protect anyone? The USA?

      The most murderous and aggressive psycho country in the world?

          Almost every country in the world has territorial disputes. So what? Again, what aggression? (Third time asking)

          Why do you think that China’s are any of the USA’s business?

          You need to learn what “whataboutism” means before you use it again.

            Almost every country in the world has territorial disputes.

            Again a whataboutism, the existence of other countries doing shitty things is no excuse for China doing the same.

            So what? Again, what aggression? (Third time asking)

            I gave you the full list, I don’t think you are arguing in good faith so I don’t see the point. Though if you have time to waste I am willing to be entertained by your take on the construction of artificial islands and military outposts in the Paracel Islands, surely China isn’t the agressor and definitely not in violation of international maritime law despite what those pesky tribunals say.

              Again, you need to learn what that word means.

              You made an allegation that China was being aggressive.

              I said, how? Give me an example.

              You said they had territorial disputes.

              I said, **so does everyone… so what?**and now your response is

              That’s not an excuse for China being aggressive.

              You’ve provided nothing to back up your accusation. Nothing at all.

              Vietnam started building artificial islands. China responded in kind. This is normal shit for any country with territorial disputes.

            "Taiwan’s representative office in the U.S. said the administration’s decision to pull arms and other materiel from its stores provided “an important tool to support Taiwan’s self-defense.” In a statement, it pledged to work with the United States to maintain “peace, stability and the status quo across the Taiwan Strait.” "
