    It’s all posturing between China and US, both militaries just waving multi billion dollar aircraft in each others’ faces.

    Gotta love China’s diplomatic commentary:

    China’s Defense Ministry on Wednesday pushed back on such characterizations [of avoiding communication], saying the country “attaches importance” to developing US-China military relations and there had been “no interruption” in contact, while also blaming Washington for hampering communication.

      The difference is that US comes half way across the globe to wave their multi billion dollar aircraft in China’s face.

            I’m just saying both sides whine. The Chinese government whined when the weather balloon got shredded and the US is whining now that Chinese plane is waggling its wings at the US plane. Both governments are just whining. I guess another word for it could be posturing?

              Again, the difference is that US surrounded China with military bases, has been trying to build things like QUAD to contain China, and has now started an economic war with China. Saying that both whine is simply false equivalence. US is a clear aggressor here, and China has shown incredible amounts of patience dealing with US over the years.

                China has shown incredible amounts of patience dealing with US over the years.

                Yeah, when even the Vietnamese government is calling China out for their aggression in the South China Sea, it’s not a US v China thing.

                  Ah yes, US is just trying to protect Vietnam from big bad China because US has a long history of helping countries like Vietnam. Cool story bro.
