This isn’t the first time the CCP has laid claim to such South China Sea features, some of which became bastions for power-projection and controlling their undersea resources.
This is, however, China’s first such incursion on Donald Trump’s watch. If there’s no push-back, there will surely be additional, and more fraught, acts of Chinese aggression in the region.
Fortunately, the United States can penalize the Chinese Communists without force by ending a May 2013 Memorandum of Understanding that gave their companies uniquely privileged access to U.S. capital markets.
This is a policy course-correction that needs to be taken anyway. Do it now.
