Newsflash, we're doing the exact same thing to them. We regularly piss in their backyard with a 4.5 billion dollar aircraft carrier and a handful of destroyers and cruisers. Although they seek ties with our neighbors. China's aggressive policy in the pacific has pissed off a lot of it's neighbors (alot of ASEAN member states too) including Vietnam who fucking hate China as a result, so they run to us to for help. You'd be surprised the vast increase of inter-military exercises and arms exports we've done with those countries over the past decade.
This is actually good for us, the US is one of the largest dealers of military hardware in the world. A lot of Asian countries are looking to arm up to defend against an increasingly aggressive neighbor. PLAN Subs bothering your Asia country? We've got these low mileage P-3 Orions only slightly used for sale at only $36 million.

But what the fuck does China need their Navy in our waters for anyways? Well the American boats are in our waters says China. Yeah, but the rest of the world is more volatile than South and North America. Plus, why deploy a naval force when the Americans are already providing maritime security while also footing the bill. Hell, all you're doing is copying our foreign policy just like you copy our computers and jets.[/QUOTE]
Why do they have navy ships in our waters? Because it's actually theirs. Here's a map of China's territorial waters (all the blue)

[QUOTE]States including Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Mexico recently purchased Chinese arms but are said to be unhappy with the arms’ low quality. For example, Chinese YLC radar sold to Ecuador in 2009 did not work properly and sales of Chinese tanks to Peru also ran into quality problems. Both states are now looking to buy Russian weaponry, a U.S. official said.Venezuela, a key oil-producing U.S. adversary, announced Thursday that China agreed to a $4 billion loan for oil development.[/QUOTE]

I'm not even sure how this is an argument.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, how's it feel to be on the receiving end of a straw-man argument?
You're right it isn't and argument at all.
