A Game of Shark and Minnow
Who Will Win Control of the South China Sea?
This is the best article I’ve read all year.
The dispute between China and the Philippines about Scarborough Shoal made headlines last year, but the issue of multiple nations claiming the shoal, and the nearby Spratly islands has since dropped out of the public eye.
This article takes you right into the frontline, which is probably the most unique situation in which people are protecting national sovereignty, from a beached, rusting, pot-holed old US navy ship.
It’s a complex situation, but the article does an amazing job of taking you through it step by step.
