he lead article the Chinese Communist Party newspaper Global Times on Tuesday contained an alarming call for a declaration of war against Vietnam and Philippines, two nations that in recent weeks launched the loudest protests against China’s sweeping maritime sovereignty claims over the South China Sea.
China already tried this in the Sino-Vietnamese War of 1979 - they got their asses kicked big time by the Vietnamese.
The United States has close economic, cultural, military and political ties with the Philippines - they were afterall a US colony - so I would strongly advise the Chinese to steer clear of the Philippines.
That's a good sign. It shows that they haven't studied America's involvement in Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia, Grenada (or, if you turn back the pages of the history book a little, Haiti and the Dominican Republic) at all. If they want war, by all means let them go ahead and have some. And where better than Vietnam and the Philippines--at the same time? That requires two completely separate armies. We should sit back and enjoy the spectacle of China shooting itself in the foot.

The Chinese are dumb, they think the whole world revolves around them and that they are the mightiest nation on Earth. This is why the claim all of Asia and the Pacific. Their own arrogance and greed is what will eventually bring them down ... and that will happen alot sooner than many people think. The People's Republic of China has maybe another decade of existence left.
In reality the NYPD alone could send them packing back to Beijing.

The main difference is that Vietnam's army has remained 1979ish and China is pretty modern.
