'Give them a bloody nose': Xi pressed for stronger South China Sea response - Reuters
Reuters reports: "China's leadership is resisting pressure from elements within the
military for a more forceful response to an international court ruling
against Beijing's claims in the South China Sea, sources said, wary of
provoking a clash with the United States. [...] The ruling has been
followed in China by a wave of nationalist sentiment, scattered protests
and strongly worded editorials in state media.
So far, Beijing has not shown any sign of wanting to take stronger
action."
Comment: With any luck it will all cool down and China will decide they would rather negotiate luxury real-estate deals with the new American president than spark a war over those tiny islands. Or, better yet, maybe a joint-development project... the Trump South China Sea and Casino? Sorry, just so tired of politics when world affairs are so serious.
