In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that almost everyone on earth knows that the real force behind the unstable situation in the South China Sea is the U.S.
America and the American military have done so much in this region, yet the Pentagon had the gall to raise questions about the Chinese military plane rescue of three sick workers. This must be a rare posturing from one great power to another in the history of international relations.
Taiwan should quit while it's ahead and dial up communication with Washington, lest any third party seek to foment further estrangement in U.S.-Taiwan relations.
If the United States and its pawns continue to follow this mistaken path of cultivating chaos in the South China Sea, they will find their efforts amount to little in the end.
If the United States insists upon "butting heads" with China and stirring up trouble in the South China Sea, that creates an entirely separate situation, and the United States will pay the price for its strategic and tactical bias, as well as its arrogance.
