This is a worry isn't it. Seems bound to escalate.

The set of maps on the above URL give some pretty compelling reasons to fight for control of these waters I reckon! |

sg.news.yahoo.com/china-holds-live-fire-navy-drills-east-china-032721783.html?nhp=1BEIJING (AP) — China's navy has fired dozens of missiles and torpedoes during exercises in the East China Sea that come amid heightened maritime tensions in the region, underscoring Beijing's determination to back up its sovereignty claims with force if needed. The live-fire drills that began Monday follow China's strident rejection of an international arbitration panel's ruling last month that invalidated Beijing's claims to a vast swath of the South China Sea. That led to days of angry statements from Beijing, followed by live-firing naval exercises in the South China Sea and the launch of regular aerial patrols in the area. On Tuesday, the Defense Ministry said the East China Sea exercises were aimed at improving the "intensity, precision, stability and speed" of its military. "An information technology-based war at sea is sudden, cruel and short, which requires fast transition to combat status, quick preparation and high assault efficiency," the ministry said. The drills include ships, submarines, aircraft and coast guard forces, illustrating China's growing emphasis on integrated training under realistic conditions. China's navy has been closing the gap with its U.S. rival in both ship numbers and technology, including the deployment of advanced anti-ship missiles, nuclear submarines and the country's first aircraft carrier. While global attention has been drawn to the South China Sea, where five governments exercise territorial claims overlapping with China's, Beijing also operates extensively in the East China Sea, where it claims a string of uninhabited islands controlled by Japan.

Lots of saber rattling been going on around the world over the past year or two.
I think China has seen Putin doing the same and not getting taken to task militarily (although the sanctions have been crippling to some parts of the economy), and reckon they will try it out and see how far things will go.
Not sure if it was mentioned at the time, but China blasted an aging satellite out of the sky a few years ago. Supposedly was testing a technology to deal with asteroids or some such, but everyone knows they were actually showing they can knock out GPS or other satellites whenever they please. I figure they will continue with that sort of demonstration in the future, to show who they think is boss.

And in the meantime China continues to buy up massive farm lands in Australia. The latest were 2 massive properties in the Kimberly area.
