    Base nation - USA bases around China

    The number of USA bases in that area maybe has something to do with that. Maybe they want to monitor the area for safety reasons but what do I know.

      The American bases are there out of the hosting countries’ permission. Weird that tankies never mention what Vietnam and Philippines think of the Chinese navy bullying their fishermen, or China not leaving the shoals that is within the 200 nautical mile from Philippines, despite the International Court of Justice ruling that China’s presence in that shoal is illegal. But you know, got to keep flipping the script as an NPC…

        “The countries the US occupies militarily agreed to it voluntarily” lol right, definitely didn’t have anything to do with the extremely obvious threat of being invaded and overthrown if they don’t comply
