stand off aginst china in south china sea

[bulletbob]

Indonesia will mobilise fishermen to join warships in the South China Sea to help defend against Chinese vessels, the government said on Monday, as the biggest stand-off with China for years escalated off southeast Asia's largest country.
In an unusually strong statement, President Joko Widodo told reporters: "There is no negotiation when it comes to our sovereignty."
looks like the bipolar Russian is wrong again lol
Dont worry my friend you can always ask me the illiterate talking baboon to educate you. lol
The stand-off in the northern Natuna islands, where a Chinese coastguard vessel has accompanied Chinese fishing vessels, has soured the generally friendly relationship between Jakarta and Beijing.
Indonesia's chief security minister, Mahfud MD, told reporters that around 120 fishermen from the island of Java would be sent to the Natuna islands, some 600 miles to the north.

"We want to mobilise our fishermen from the north coast and maybe in turn from other areas to operate by fishing there and other things," Mr Mahfud said.

Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous country, said last week it was sending more warships to the area. Six Indonesian ships were there now and four more were on the way, Imam Hidayat, the head of the Maritime Security Agency's sea operations sub-directorate, told Reuters.

claims much of the South China Sea, a global trade route with rich fishing grounds and energy reserves, as its own based on what it says its historic activity. But Southeast Asian countries – and the US and much of the world – say such claims have no legal basis.

I agree totally with the position that Indonesia has taken . No doubt , Indonesia and China , along with other countries in the region , will settle their disputes amoung themselves ,through the normal diplomatic channels , as all responsible countries usually do ......and the diplomatic negotiations have already begun.

China is trying to claim ownership of valuable fishing right and build enough islands to make claim to waters that are not theirs and put military installations on these man made islands.
Its for economic and military reason and control of shipping lanes. The very type of things you denied in your posts.

Dear ‘illerate talking baboon’ (your description, not mine).

FYO: China has already built the islands, they’re not trying to. The ‘military installations’ are already in place. Controlling the sea lanes hasn’t happened. There is a dispute going on, but it’s something the countries in that region have to sort out amongst themselves, not America, or (stifles a grin), a ‘real man’ from America. Are you volunteering?

Nice op pictures though.

Those shipping lanes are crucial for many countries. China errs gravely.

no that was bipolar description he would use it ever tine I proved him wrong now your wrong china had built islands and is building more. they are sorting it out with blockade and war ship china demands the control the normal water around its man made islands as if they were natural meaning they are infringingn on others brights and setting up the region for eventual take over of seas that are open or claimed buy others . Perhaps the talking baboon can educate you like he has the russia it sounds as if youn are in need
