spinifex: Thank you Frostbite for your very clear statements about what is legal and acceptable and the risks of stepping beyond the boundaries. I have removed the previous exchange of posts, as interesting as they were, to keep a tidy shop-front.

And then there's the South China Sea. Quoting Alan Dupont:
‘Those who dismiss the South China Sea dispute as a storm in teacup, or persist with the illusion that China will refrain from antagonizing non-claimant states, need to think again. Far from de-escalating, this dispute is showing all the hallmarks of becoming the most serious security problem for Southeast Asia and Australia since the Vietnam War.’
Especially since China is now building combat aircraft hangers on all their man made islands with enough room for more fighter jets then aust even has on our books.

Smart luck is when you work your arse off, so when the opportunity presents itself, you don't have to pray for dumb luck.
Take it easy on China. Those islands are freshly minted historical islands. Been part of China's sovereign waters since before they ate mandarins. Sun tzu said "cruise missle beat small island every time, except when it don't"
the jets on the island are civilian jets armed only for their own self defence, same with the civilian torpedo boats that are for recreational purposes.
