2. Be interesting if one of those Chinese ships mysteriously sank.

3. This stupid bravado shit again

4. China has effectively controlled those islands via military power for a hot minute, so this isn’t really news per se, and as long as the US isn’t going to get involved (despite, y’know, the whole “we need bases in Japan to protect them from China” line of bullshit) so unfortunately I don’t see the situation changing anytime soon.

5. Chinese warship, go fuck yourself!
