China's audacity is astounding.

Is that Chinese for lebensraum?

[Catfish]

You can call it Lebensraum, or war against terrorism.
After all, it is always about resources :03:

I guess the Celestials decided if Russia can do it with Crimea, they can do it where ever they feel like it too:timeout:.

[NeonSamurai]

That stuff predates the Crimea stuff by quite a bit. So if anything it is the other way around.

Anyhow, China's logic is might = right, which is pretty well founded in history as being true.
