Global Times: PLA drives away ‘accident-risking’ US warship intruding territorial waters in South China Sea 

Two days after monitoring a provocative US warship transit in the Taiwan Straits, Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) forces drove away the same US vessel which intruded Chinese territorial waters in the South China Sea on Thursday. As the US move was deemed an act of navigational hegemony and public opinion manipulation that seriously violated China's sovereignty and safety and risked misjudgment and accidents. 

The two recent US warship activities were related and intentionally planned, analysts said, noting that the PLA's consecutive responses also demonstrated that it is fully prepared to fend off any provocations.

It does not matter of what the CCP says is true or not. Take ancient pharaohs. The hieroglyphics on the walls of temples declare their victories, Egyptologists examining the battles say not so fast. Yet the lies served the purpose of the pharaohs. This is not different.

Both sides lie, often, and on record on matters ranging from mass murder, human experiments, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, corruption, wars, drug money and black ops, espionage...

But if I had to pick which nation is more dangerous to the World, I'd say China.. not because they've started wars lately but they have all intention to do so, have mass concentration camps in which they put unwanted Chinese minorities.. just think of what they'll do to black people or white people or the Japanese which they hate so much

Plus America has the constitution, which is a glorious document for humans, BUT the Demoncrats are spitting on it every day, using federal law to overrule it, disarm its population, take their freedoms.. if Democrats remain in power, the USA will become more and more like China, you wait
