Chinese aren't suicidal freaks,they would probably use remote controled planes.

The US is claims they can send military vessels into Chinese territorial waters, but China can't send their military vessels into US territorial waters. I don't subscribe to the US being able to have its cake and eat it to.
I'd like to see how the US would react if Chinese military vessels tried to use the US Inter-coastal waterway.
Since the US is not a member of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, China does not have to allow American military vessels to use navigable waterways within China's territory. If the US signs the Law of the Sea, then US military vessels would have just as much right to use international waterways within Chinese territory as Chinese military vessels would have in American territory.

The fact is China has established a village on these islands, just like Canada has outposts and villages in our far north. Its in Canada's best interest that the US and other nations respect those Chinese outposts and villages if we expect the US and other nations to respect Canadian outposts and villages.

BEIJING -- Mitt Romney’s tough talk on China is getting more pushback from authorities in Beijing.
The official New China news agency responded Friday with an editorial calling Romney’s remarks “as false as they are foolish” and saying that it is “ironic that a considerable portion of this China-battering politician's wealth was actually obtained by doing business with Chinese companies before he entered politics.”
The editorial warned that if Romney’s “mud-slinging tactics were to become U.S. government policies, a trade war would be very likely to break out between the world's top two economies, which would be catastrophic enough to both sides and the already groaning global economy.”

International Law is a joke.
The law of the sea is simple.....he who has the biggest guns rules. If the Chinese have a problem with the USA in disputed waters, let them try and do something about it.
The Canadian comparison is an extremely poor one. The USA and Canada are best friends......and yet the USA does not recognize much of our territorial waters in the north either.
Not bloody much we can do about it.
What does international law say about the possession of those islands?
And if it's not clear, then take it to the international court as an unbiassed arbitrator. That's how civilized people would do it ratehr threatening war over a piece of land.
They would not be wise to follow China's example here. You don't morally claim land by colonizing it. You do so, if you have any respect for law and order, by claiming it based on international law or not at all.
Yup. Settling difference through war after war is always best. Sure it makes everybody poor, but at least we'll all be the working [poor I suppose.

Ummmmmmmmmm!! I thought Canada is looking for customers, maybe that thought should be postponed until U.S. demands get back to former levels. :lol:
