China has a “neo-imperial” ambition to make the entire world comply with its communist ideas, according to a senior State Department official.
Noting Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s denunciation of China’s claims to sovereignty over vast swathes of the South China Sea, Stilwell emphasized that the United States will aid “allies and friends,” such as the Philippines, if China uses force to deprive such neighboring states of their economic rights in the waterways.
“We are building our military capabilities. We are vigilant. We are exercising and operating wherever international law allows,” Stilwell said during a virtual conference hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Pompeo’s detailed rejection on Monday of China’s territorial claims built upon a 2016 ruling made by an international tribunal in a case brought by the Philippines. The assertion builds on previous statements emphasizing that a clash in the South China Sea between China and the Philippines would trigger U.S. action under a mutual defense treaty.

It is ongoing and will never end because of "democrat" state govenors who delight in shutting down America. Yes bomb bejing and any othe place the red chineeese hirearchy are staying.
END THIS COMMUNIST MENACE NOW !!!!!
and oh, so conveniently, they knew we would be forced to shut down and go to zoom for everything, which conveniently, had poor security, and which conveniently, is tied to China.
Zoom's ongoing security woes just won't let up.
The video conferencing provider has admitted that some non-China users had their calls routed through China.
In a statement late Friday, Zoom CEO Eric Yuan admitted to mistakenly routing calls via China.
"In our urgency to come to the aid of people around the world during this unprecedented pandemic, we added server capacity and deployed it quickly — starting in China, where the outbreak began," Yuan said. "In that process, we failed to fully implement our usual geo-fencing best practices. As a result, it is possible certain meetings were allowed to connect to systems in China, where they should not have been able to connect."

Let's make it through the election first.. If Biden wins the presidency we're screwed!
Senile Biden doesn't have a chance against the energetic and very smart Trump. The election will be a cakewalk for Trump. Every American can see clearly how great Trump has made America already. Just compare the USA of today with the one he took over at the beginning of 2017! That's why he will win with a landslide.
China doesn't stand a chance. America is the leader of the free world and Trump is the most respected US president worldwide ever. Our old and new allie (of which Trump made many) will be on our side as we fight back against the Chinese.
Bomb Beijing!!
I would suggest the USA has a Space Force that can attack anywhere on the face of the earth. The chinese had best take this under consideration before they try any funny shit.
Want peace prepare for war.
Well, after the British 200 year imperial reign followed by the 75 year U.S.reign, I guess the Chinese figure it's their turn. You see, we brought this on ourselves ..... at least our past military and government leaders did.
