China is "bucking the system" of World Peace to even contemplate what they have done with these "islands"!  They need to be "pulled into line" by some country? 

NATO is too damned "weak" to stop them or do anything about it?  Why do we have NATO?  NATO are a joke!!!!

USS America steams to intercept Chinese ships in disputed waters near Malaysia as China flexes its muscles in the region after US aircraft carrier was crippled by coronavirus

The United States called on China to stop its 'bullying behavior' in the South China Sea on Saturday, citing concerning reports regarding Beijing's 'provocative' actions aimed toward offshore oil and gas developments in Malaysia's mineral-rich Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). US officials accused China of taking advantage of the distraction posed by the coronavirus outbreak to increase its maritime presence in the region, ordering it to desist. However, the warning was not clearly not heeded, as, in the days since, China's survey ship Haiyang Dizhi 8 has persisted with a number of patrols close to Malaysian oil platforms in the South China Sea, namely the West Capella drillship, which sparked territory contentions between China and Malaysia when it began exploration activities in October.
