BTW, the BBC’s glaring omission was that of the Philippines. China’s been treading much too far that way, too. China wants to take some countries, yes. But she also wants some big ocean routes and has even eyeballed around the Indian Ocean quite a bit (thus, conflicts there, too, along with crossing and squatting inside the Indian borders at various point in recent years).
And Viet Nam. The PRC has also been mucking about with Viet Nam’s territorial waters.
