1.  CCP propaganda is obvious when we see US "warships" but Chinese "navy".
2.  "Chinese backyard"?  50 miles from The Philippines backyard would be more correct (Where Chinese ships chase Filipino fishermen from their natural fishing grounds).
2.  Please provide evidence of US warships (or any US ships) threatening Chinese commercial ships (or any Chinese ships).
3.  It would not make sense pointing a big gun at China from Philippine waters ... it's too great a distance.
4.  Chinese ships have already visited the Caribbean Sea ... what happened?
