China put the 3500 km range bomber the H-6k on runways in the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea. The Chinese news states this like it is an everyday occurrence, but it isn’t. These are long enough range to reach most of the countries with claims to those islands, though they would not be much of a threat against US fleet ships in the area. China seems content to escalate the war for the South China Sea, and at the same time, presses the rest of the world to not make any
statements that make Taiwan an independent state. One day, we have to decide if the Chinese get their way on Taiwan and the rest of the South China Sea. If they don’t, a little more than ships cruising around in that space will be required. We can’t have China as a friend in trade and an enemy everywhere else, but the Chinese seem determined to have their own way. It will not come to a good end.
