China is now standing to the US. President Xi Jinping message on the US Naval blockade:
"We Chinese are a people who uphold justice & are not intimidated by threats of force. We have strong sense of pride & confidence. We have never bullied or oppressed or subjugated people of another country & never will. By the same token we will never allow any foreign force to bully, oppress or subjugate us. Anyone who would attempt to do so will find themselves on collision force with a great force of steel forged by our 1.4 billion people."
