Chinese ships have repeatedly rammed Philippine ships in the South China Sea. The U.S. has a mutual defense treaty with the Philippines, which could lead to American intervention.
An escalating series of clashes in the South China Sea between the Philippines and China could draw the U.S., which has a mutual defense treaty with the Philippines, into the conflict.
A 60 Minutes crew got a close look at the tense situation when traveling on a Philippine Coast Guard ship that was rammed by the Chinese Coast Guard.
China has repeatedly rammed Philippine ships and blasted them with water cannons over the last two years. There are ongoing conversations between Washington and Manila about which scenarios would trigger U.S. involvement, Philippine Secretary of National Defense Gilberto Teodoro said in an interview.
"I really don't know the end state," Teodoro said. "All I know is that we cannot let them get away with what they're doing."
China as "the proverbial schoolyard bully"
China claims sovereignty over almost all of the South China Sea, through which more than $3 trillion in goods flow annually. But in 2016, an international tribunal at the Hague ruled the Philippines has exclusive economic rights in a 200-mile zone that includes the area where the ship with the 60 Minutes team on board got rammed.
China does not recognize the international tribunal's ruling.
China bad propaganda. Instead of talking about the horrific civil war in Sudan, lets talk about ramming some ships and get the US involved in that... fucking insanity.
PS: Let me make this clear: I don't give a shit about what China does unless it involves actual ethnic cleansing and mass rape. If we don't give a shit about the latter, we shouldn't "get involved" in the former.
Ok kiddo, I'm just gonna tell you the brutal truth.
Everyone likes the cheap stuff China makes, but we're not comfortable with how they run things, so every time we're reminded that they're going to be the dominant global super power by 2100 we freak out a bit.
Conversely, Muslims killing Muslims in a country that doesn't make anything we want isn't that important.
I'm not saying this is how things ought to be, but it is how things are.
but we’re not comfortable with how they run things
If you're not comfortable with totally eliminating extreme poverty, taking the largest steps of any country on the planet to combat climate change, and having a democratic government that exercises control over the capitalists rather than the other way around, then your comfort is not something worth caring about.

Any American can easily and freely research any topic you listed there.
Are you and your fellow Chinese allowed free access to information or only what your government allows? Why does China need state sensorship if not to protect their lies?
I really want to believe you typed that all out right now, but I guess either way, it's also pretty batshit crazy to have that ready to copy and paste.
Also I spotted a 21 Savage in there somewhere. It's almost like a word search.
Don't know now but up to a couple of years ago there where infinite traffic jams due to trucks carrying coal from the mines. Maybe you mean "to combat FOR climate change".
80% of the world's solar panels come from China and more than half of their electrical grid is from non-fossil sources. Coal plants are used as backups where they are still used at all. I'm sorry bud but it is simply an objective fact that China has invested more into a green energy transition than anyone else on this Earth.
PS: Let me make this clear: I don't give a shit about what China does unless it involves actual ethnic cleansing and mass rape. If we don't give a shit about the latter, we shouldn't "get involved" in the former.
Funny you should bring that up... You should ask the Uyghurs in China about that.
Also, the world watched them impose their rule over Hong Kong, we watched their military murder their way through protesting civilians. We know what to expect from China, we've seen their playbook.
But Taiwan is an ally of the USA, Japan is an ally of the USA, and we will stand by them. There are many other sovereign nations in the waters of the South China Sea, China does not own all that territory.
It would be in China's best interest to back the fuck off.
The Philippines is an ally of the US. And I'm sure that if countries start being violent towards the US, those encounters would be shown to the allies of the US, including discussions on what an alliance entails.
Your second point is much better though. But trying to liberate Chinese people within China is much different than wanting to defend an ally.
Plus China is a big bully in the sea there. They literally had the maritime borders they agreed on their official maps, but the last few years they have been redrawing them. It would be the same as Russia deciding their maritime borders are 10 miles from the US shore.
That's not how international politics works, though. It's way too complicated but one key principle is "do what the treat says you agreed to do." Because if you don't do it once, you're other Allies might not do it when it's your turn.
That's a gross oversimplification of course, but the point is that you don't want to end up going all Putin and telling your smaller allies to fuck off.
Would that be before or after you elect a fascist "dictator on day one"? In a country where living costs make it impossible to have kids? Where healthcare spirals out of control and people don't call an ambulance because of fear of bankruptcy? Where 12 year kids are forced to bear their rape babies to term? You are literally on the cusp of fascism you moron.
There is plenty wrong with China and ramming boats is not nice. But your ghoulish lust for blood and destruction is disgusting your fucking fascist prick.
