This is yet another blatant "nationalistic" whipping dog for the CPC. I live in China, have done for a few years now and every time we see this here, we know something internal is wrong.
How China can object to a couple of clapped out old USCGs is beyond me. I see it as
bullying and nothing more than that.

I don't know if you hear this abroad but these days, foreigners are suffering Chinese xenophobia here in the "harmonious" PRC. there are, almost daily, mob scenes of foreigners being beaten....even a US consular/embassy employee!
This is China, and if they don't want the Philippines to have the rock, they'll stop at nothing to achieve this.
[Mod Edit: This statement is factually wrong. Please read these two articles, here and here, before commenting further.]
This comes from my 8 years of living in China!
[Mod Edit: Pick a better class of friends in China (not everybody there is irrational and sweeping generalizations reflect on you more than the country you comment on). If you still don't like it there, may I suggest that you consider a move to Manila?
You are not even on topic (other than general China bashing). There are problems in China and their policies but there is also a context. ]
