Randy Forbes: “Although China's primary maritime focus remains regional, Beijing aspires to play a larger role in select global issues…”

The threats to freedom of navigation that emanate from the South China Sea and reverberate globally are a great enough threat to the United States.

I believe that we can inject enough doubts into the minds of China's leaders about its use in the scenarios we worry most about.

In the coming decades, this is the region where the largest armies in the world will camp.

I also see an opportunity for a new administration to take a new and stronger stance on the South China Sea.
