For a number of years now, China has been working hard and somewhat managed to pull the US from the South East Asia, where it has its biggest claims, namely the whole South China Sea (SCS).
The idea is a long term work of isolation of each country bordeing the sea.
For that, several directions:
The isolation is working well. That plus the two-sided agreements, the contenders dealed one-by-one will have no choice but wait for their turn.
This way, China can go and secure the whole SCS pretty easily, up to Malacca.
I believe the isolation of Taiwan and Japan are part of the game too.
By closing the straight, Taiwan will starve, and Japan has no choice but go all the way around.
One sigle aircraft carrier may be more then useful to maintain air superiority agaisnt small countries (what can Malaysia do against 20/30 Su-33 with her handful of SH that barely fly?).
I believe that China has noway today but to go to war.
And a vision of China ranging from Aseh to Kyushu is not a only dream.
Problem is: How to deal with:
1- Singapore (but the chinese diaspora represents 80% of the population)
2- Skorea (fielding a new and puwerful projection tool)
3- Japan (presently can't be threaten by china)
The answer for the two seconds is: asphixy. Prevent the air from coming in.
They will have to attack, and will be the bads.
The idea is a long term work of isolation of each country bordeing the sea.
For that, several directions:
- Exclusively two-sided agreement signed for each other contender
- Asking the countries via diplomatic and hidden ways to disclose the US/EU for any defence agreements
- Forbidding indirectly the Western military support for security issues (i.e. fighting piracy)
