China is very busy building islands in the South China Sea. I have been reading some interesting articles about why they are doing this. At first glance, it seems that they are trying to claim territorial claims in the area and to build an island in a better way, then you can say this is your land. There is no doubt that this is a method, but some people say that there are other things to happen. They claim that the Chinese government may feel that it is losing the support of too many citizens, so it hopes to inspire nationalism by confronting countries such as Japan and Vietnam. People will feel that the people will unite behind their own country. This is why China is so blunt when defending the privileges of certain areas around the island that the body and parts of the ocean belong to China. As everyone knows, there are some citizens in China who want to build a more democratic government. This situation can be proved from the uprising that rushed into Tiananmen Square in 1989. At that time, the martial law was ordered to make these uprisings fail. There are still many Chinese citizens who are not satisfied with the government, but I have to admit that it is true in many countries, and even we have critics ourselves.
Chinese want to protect their claims, so they need some kind of power to stop those who try to argue for themselves, and also want to go to the waters claimed by the Chinese, instead of complying with the rules set by the Chinese. Get up, like when you want to go there and notify them. The problem is that countries feel that if you do this, you acknowledge that China's claims are valid. China claims that the area is so large that the fighters cannot provide enough fuel for any expansion in the region. Even the most modern fighters, the J-11D can only stay in the area for a short time. The Chinese have several options to solve this problem. The first thing that comes to mind is their aircraft carrier. In 2012, China commissioned Liaoning. They purchased four aircraft carriers in 1985 so they could study the aircraft carriers themselves. They bought one from Australia, Melbourne, and three from the former Soviet Union. They are Minsk, Kiev and Varyag. Two people have retired, but Varyag has been partially built.
They like what they learn when they create new carriers, but it's not built from scratch. Varyag was demolished and rebuilt into Chinese specifications, which became a ship in Liaoning. The Chinese can place the ship and its aircraft in the middle of the disputed area and use these aircraft to warn any intruders or those who do not comply with Chinese rules. One problem with this is that the United States often maintains its right to travel in international waters through this area. If the Chinese aircraft carrier is placed there, will the Chinese risk the war with the United States? There is another option. They can place planes on the island. This means they need a complete landing belt and maintenance facilities for the aircraft. This may not be practical because these islands are under construction, but the future may be a viable option. Ships can be used instead of aircraft, but if they may be too slow to reach other vessels passing through the area.
There is another option here. Russians have proposed selling their new SU-35 fighters to the Chinese. The Chinese have a long history of buying only a few Russian and Soviet aircraft and copying them. This does not make the Russians happy. They completed all the design work and the Chinese got all the benefits. This reminds me of what happened to us when we developed atomic and hydrogen bombs. Soon, the Soviets stole our secrets and established their own secrets. Initially the Russians hoped that the Chinese would guarantee the purchase of 48 of them before selling them to China. LaTely Russians have become more desperate and have reduced the minimum purchases to 24. Negotiations have continued for several years. The Chinese want the SU-35 because of its longer range and advanced electronics, making it more suitable for patrolling areas claimed by China. What I find interesting is that the aircraft made by Sukhoi is the name of the SU-35 and is used against the F-35. This seems to be more than just a coincidence. Unfortunately, many experts claim that the SU-35 is superior to our F-35, more maneuverable, flying faster and climbing faster. When the Russians sold the SU-27 to the Chinese, they immediately began to copy it. In fact, the root of the new Chinese J-11D lies in the SU-27. The Chinese believe that the SU-35 is not only the US F-35, but also the Indian SU-30MKO and T-50 aircraft. There is no doubt that the Russians are still building some incredible planes. The SU-35 is being modified by Russians to make it even stronger in the Russian fifth-generation T-50 PAK-FA program. It is unclear whether these aircraft may be sold to China.
Is this all enough for China to absolutely enforce its rights in the region? I am not sure. Neighboring countries that also claim rights or at least believe that the region is an international waters have long been ignorant and a victim. Vietnam believes that China is conducting oil exploration in coastal waters. There are several groups of islands in the South China Sea. The Xisha Islands are occupied by China, but Taiwan and Vietnam claim. The Pratas Islands are also known as the Dongsha Islands. They are claimed by China but are controlled by Taiwan. Platas is the largest island in the South China Sea. The Scarborough Shoal has many names. It is also known as the Democratic Reef, Huangyan Island, Bajo de Masinloc and Panagag Shoal. According to China, Taiwan and the Philippines said. The Nansha Islands are located between Brunei, China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam. They are made up of more than 750 coral reefs, small islands, atolls, coral reefs and islands. These coral reefs and islands, as well as other regions, contain 45 structures that are occupied by troops from China, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia. Brunei also has a claim but not an occupation army.
The conflict is easy to break out in this area, and with the hostility between China and Taiwan, the Chinese believe that this is part of their country and you can see what the gunpowder box is in the area.
