    It’s all posturing between China and US, both militaries just waving multi billion dollar aircraft in each others’ faces.

    Gotta love China’s diplomatic commentary:

    China’s Defense Ministry on Wednesday pushed back on such characterizations [of avoiding communication], saying the country “attaches importance” to developing US-China military relations and there had been “no interruption” in contact, while also blaming Washington for hampering communication.

      The difference is that US comes half way across the globe to wave their multi billion dollar aircraft in China’s face.

              Again, the difference is that US surrounded China with military bases, has been trying to build things like QUAD to contain China, and has now started an economic war with China. Saying that both whine is simply false equivalence. US is a clear aggressor here, and China has shown incredible amounts of patience dealing with US over the years.

                  Ah yes, US is just trying to protect Vietnam from big bad China because US has a long history of helping countries like Vietnam. Cool story bro.
