Coming hot on the heels of the US conducting freedom of navigation operations against India The US Conducted Freedom Of Navigation Operations Against India- What Will the Fall Out Be?
Undertaken to message both India and China. We should expect that GeoPolitical Collisions On the Belt and Road Project In Central Asia will continue and likely become ever more provocative and likely more deadly, as had been mentioned.
This morning's news should not come as a surprise - Newsweek
Excerpted below:
The Chinese military authorities said a United States Navy warship entered the waters of the China-controlled Paracel Islands "without permission" on Thursday, calling the operation "unprofessional and irresponsible."
The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Curtis Wilbur conducted a freedom of navigation operation (FONOP) in the South China Sea in order to challenge China's baseline claim over the entirety of the archipelago it calls Xisha, a statement by the U.S. Seventh Fleet said.
Tian Junli, a spokesperson for the People's Liberation Army Southern Theater Command, accused the U.S. military vessel of "illegal entry" into the territorial waters of the Paracels. The islands are under de facto administration by China, but are also subject to sovereignty claims by Taiwan and Vietnam.
Tian said PLA forces were mobilized to "track, warn and expel" the American warship from the islands, which he said were "part of China's inherent territory."
The FONOP "violated China's sovereignty and security" and "undermined peace and stability in the region," the spokesperson said.
That's the intent "violating China's sovereignty & security" and "undermining peace/stability in the region" It's the goal
Tian's statement described the U.S. Navy operation—the third South China Sea FONOP to be announced under the Biden administration—as a violation of "international law and basic principles in international relations."
Biden the war maker. Of course. Meet the new boss, actually worse then the old boss. But he does play the identity politics game very well.
He said it increased the risk of "misunderstanding, misjudgement and maritime accidents," calling it "unprofessional and irresponsible" while describing the U.S. as a "risk generator."
Cutting to the chase
The Pentagon released a detailed list of last year's FONOPs in March.
Thursday's FONOP in the South China Sea followed USS Curtis Wilbur's transit of the Taiwan Strait on Tuesday. The operation also drew opposition from Beijing.
The Biden administration's only other FONOPs in the region so far were conducted by USS John S. McCain and USS Russell, both in February.
The self identified left has lost it's way. Long lost it's way.

So many agendas all rolled into one big deadly/tyrannical ball of warfare wax.
Did I say warfare? Yes, I did. Because to my mind this is part of the reason US and Canada are moving manufacturing back to their respective nation states- On the surface not a bad thing, but...look a bit deeper at what is suggested by those moves.
I was saying to hubby just a few short days ago.. looks like preparations for more war/bigger war
Go back to 9/11, Richard Perle singing great songs
"We are fighting a variety of enemies. There are lots of them out there. All this talk about first we are going to do Afghanistan, then we will do Iraq . . . this is entirely the wrong way to go about it. If we just let our vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it entirely and we don't try to piece together clever diplomacy, but just wage a total war . . . our children will sing great songs about us years from now".
Richard Perle. As the great remake kicked off
