Area denial at sea is a really good strategic tool for scenarios that aren't war. Your neighbours knowing that whenever they sail into international waters there's potentially a submarine there is useful if, for example, they are currently involved in sending fishing boats and coast guard ships to start poo poo with Vietnam and the Philippines.

The thing is that China sees itself as a great power and after a century of humiliation restoring it's rightful place in the world. Trying to stand up to Chinese assertions in the SCS/the 9 dash line is a balancing act because, domestically, the CCP can't lose face by giving in. So doing freedom of navigation ops may end up being counterproductive because China then escalates by putting in an air defence identification zone.

But you see the Chinese have mastered the art of provocation. They send fishing boats and coast guard vessels to disputed territories not warships so as not to provoke a military response.

Essential asked "for future purchases investors can only claim tax deductions for investments in newly built homes"

36 approve 38 disapprove.

24 said it would cause prices to fall, 31 to rise at a slower rate, 13 no change.

A majority thinking it will negatively affect house prices is not good for BS (he will never be prime minister)
