There is a continental plate right there. Maybe we need to decommission some old rusty nukes and set up a rogue wave that floods out those tiny islands. Then several of the disputing nations could send in relief boats that incidentally have armed troops to help maintain order.
Drown them out like rats and move right on in.

I wonder if we eventually find out these Hong Kong protest are CIA plots in response to this south china sea business.
It looks very real. Huge numbers of protestors, braving beatings and worse. They have good reason to protest. China did not honor the terms of the handover of Hong Kong and were beginning their oppressive governing of the city.

To be effective, a crisis doesn't have to be manufactured, just exasperated.

China is merely expressing a universal truth, might makes right.
The Chinese bully their neighbors but when the US Navy sails by those artificial islands but they don't do shit, just pop their chops.
When the Japanese whalers would try to pass between Antarctica and South America the Chilean Navy would respond and the Japs would turn and run but the Chileans don't mess with US vessels.
The Russians are occupying lands that belong to Ukraine and Armenia because they can.
The Israelis are occupying lands that were formerly part of Egypt, Jordan and Syria, again, because they can.

Free trade allowed companies to exploit slave wage labor in China. As a result a lot of our technology has been shipped to China. In some markets are we entirely dependent upon a communist nation.
How many processors are made in the USA? How about motherboards for computers? Even a great number of our car parts are made in China.
Unlike in World War ! and II, we have few factories to retool for war. In just a matter of weeks the United States would run out of stuff such as brake pads, wheel bearings, computer chips... etc. In short, our war machine would grind to a halt while China marches on.
