Tsk tsk. Now you’re parsing. They claim territorial waters in international waters in the South China Sea. This is the point in the debate where you play Putin’s move on whataboutism and point to us taking territorial waters to show Xi is justified. So we have claimed territorial waters in…Don't see it in there about claiming the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
No, you made the original claim that the Chinese were making territorial claims in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. You said that, not me. And now you claim I'm parsing.Tsk tsk. Now you’re parsing.

Lol! “Chased US warship out of its territorial waters”. China considers the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean it’s “territorial waters”
You are parsing. The fact is China is laying territorial claims in international and claims to have “run off” our war ship from international waters. The Pacific and Indian Oceans are all international waters. You’re parsing that “no they’re only doing it in the South China Sea”No, you made the original claim that the Chinese were making territorial claims in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

No, I was asking you to give me a link showing that they made territorial claims on the Indian and Pacific Oceans. You made that claim. That isn't parsing.You are parsing.

yes you are parsing. I embellished. However I correctly pointed to them laying claim to waters not their own (the South China Sea) and then aggressed a foreign war ship in waters they had no right to do so in. Your turn.No, I was asking you to give me a link showing that they made territorial claims on the Indian and Pacific Oceans. You made that claim. That isn't parsing.
It's nice to see that you carry water for all enemies of the U.S. You don't simply reserve that special status for Russia. I guess you're a big fan of North Korea, Iran, and the Taliban as well.That's funny, the US Navy has been the world navy (replacing the Brits) since WWII. But you're saying that the Chinese are the ones bullying people in the Indian and Pacific Oceans?
They most certainly are bullying countries in the Pacific and have been for years. And if any in the Indian Ocean start missing Belt and Road payments then we'll see activity there too.They’re definitely the ones terraforming and claiming land in international waters. Which absolutely nobody else acknowledged as valid. So it’s pretty clear who the bully is here.
And no they aren’t bullying anybody in the Indian or Pacific Oceans with their current Navy of 500 Bass Trackers. I said they claim those territorial waters. It remains to be seen if they will be forced to defend that claim.
