Chinese governmen is coward. If they have faced the issue and called out US about 1951 treaty in earlier years, it should have been resolved long back. When Japan bombed Pearl Island, America nuked Japan. Chinese did not do much except using 1000s lives to defend. What would have happened if China sent a couple of nukes over when this kind dispute happens. Now all other tiny countries are copying Japan, fighting territories with China. 有句老话说的好: 可怜之人必有可恨之处。China always wants to resolve the issue using peaceful way, 可树欲静而风不止! 必要时武力还是比嘴皮子管用。
