Chinese Fighters to South China Sea

It turns out that China has put more than a runway, long-range radar, and housing on those little islands far from home.  Gordon Lubold and Chun Han Wong in the Wall Street Journal point out that fighters have been sent there.  These are fighters the US would not miss, since they are the latest versions of Chinese jets.  [http://www.wsj.com/articles/china-flew-fighter-jets-to-disputed-south-china-sea-island-u-s-officials-say-1456292008].   Apparently, the Chinese are going to ratchet up things in the South China Sea until the US elections are over.  Then they can find out what the next President will do.  If they are true to form, they are already hacking the candidates so they don't have to guess.
