The last time China harassed the Impeccable was 4 years ago and it was 125 miles from the coast of Yellow Sea. They used a couple of trawlers to force the Impeccable to make a complete stop. CNN Article

Caught unaware this time? At least not enough to be able to do something about it. Or something else? Perhaps having second thoughts on the idea that they are just bluffing? Edited by Hong Nam, Jul 21 2013, 11:57 AM.

The Americans are probing, testing, analyzing.... The Chicoms are probably using another response different from the last time especially the Impeccable Incident. I'm sure the Chinese have read this analysis and wants another one with a different response lest be accused of being a bully again. They probably don't want to give the Americans more reason to bring the 7th fleet closer to WPS. Nice article.

The author's ability to understate the obvious with the title clearly astounds me. In a more serious note, I wonder what steps does Japan and the U.S. is making... |

This is true. For perspective: ![]() ![]() ![]() source They may be superior overall, but local superiority is within our reach. If only we had MRFs yesterday.

They have. That's why they aren't taking over all of the island forcibly. They are just overconfident of their own power. However, one could argue that the difference between them is almost indistinguishable. |
