So, WWIII by January?
Ah yes, the American territory, far eastern sea. /s
What are international waters?
Whatever the guy with the biggest and/or most guns says they are
Waters outside of a countries economic exclusive zone, per the ratified UN convention.
Oh boy, I’m taking heat for my intended sarcasm. Yes, they are international. Yes, China will see it as threatening their territory.
One might wonder why America feels the need to help escort an allied nation through their own exclusive economic zone in the first place? It’s almost like there is a member of unclos that isn’t adhering to international law or something?
America will hang out in the hopes an opportunity will come of it, as well as a show of force to China. That second part is why I referred to it as the far eastern sea.
Sadly, my fellow Americans are densely patriotic and aren’t aware of the difference between a french cut and French cuisine.
America will hang out in the hopes an opportunity will come of it, as well as a show of force to China.
What kind of opportunity? The only reason there’s any drama happening in the first place is because China is attempting to unilaterally reshape the very idea of the laws of the sea.
There wouldn’t be a perceived need to provide a show of force unless there was provocation to begin with.
You don’t have to be patriotic or even American to understand that willfully ignoring international laws in which you are a signatory, is problematic for international relations.
If it’s right and just to criticize America flaunting international law, then we should be non biased enough to be critical of other nations when they do the same.
About time.
