      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.

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

        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.
