Its bullying of its utmost possible maximum. It ruins non-Chinese fishermen all across the place. China locks them out of even their nation'S territorial waters. And nobody dares to confront them over it. As I said: hundreds of cutters and coast guard boats. Hundreds. They are literally EVERYWHERE. They are armed and they use force against unarmed civil fisherboats, if need be. Even inside other nations' territorial 12nm coast waters, along islands, nation's mainland coast, and atolls.
The US navy in no way is able to deal with this. And so it even does not try. It cannot cope with the sheer numbers.
Overwhelming numbers have their own charms.

As you said-They are asking for it- A war which is unavoidable if China continues this behaviour in the South China Sea.
