SO HOW DID CHINA REACT TO THIS TREAT FROM OBAMA, THEY DECIDED TO SET UP AN OIL RIG PLATFORM IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA JUST DAYS AFTER OBAMA HAD WARNED CHINA REGARDING THE SOUTH CHINA SEA DISPUTE.
NOW, ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING NEWS OUTLETS, FROM ZEROHEDGE AND THE RUSSIAN RIA NOVOSTI, THERE ARE NOW CLOSE TO 86 CHINESE VESSELS, SUBMARINES INCLUDED, SURROUNDING THE SOUTH CHINA SEA OIL RIG THAT CHINA JUST SET UP IN WHAT VIETNAM CLAIMS IS THERE TERRITORY.
NOT ONLY THIS, BUT RUSSIA IS SENDING OVER SOME OF THEIR WARSHIPS INTO THE SOUTH CHINA SEA FOR A NAVAL WAR DRILL WITH CHINA.
YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT NIETHER CHINA, NOR RUSSIA ARE BACKING DOWN FROM OBAMA'S THREATS, BUT ON THE CONTRARY ARE PUTTING THEIR FOOT DOWN AND LETTING THE U.S. THAT THEIR TIME OF BULLYING OTHER NATIONS AROUND HAS COME TO AN END.
China Deploys Submarine Near Vietnam Oil Rig, 86 Vessels Now Present
With the additional deployment of a submarine and a missile ship, there are now 86 Chinese vessels accompanying the oil rig's installation in Vietnam's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Local news reports that 3 Chinese military ships are surrounding a Vietnamese marine police vessel this morning and water cannon use continues against Vietnamese ships. We addressed the who, what, where, when and how of China’s HD-981 oil rig foray into Vietnamese waters here but, as we discuss below, the enduring question, as with many of China’s recently provocative actions in the Asia-Pacific, remains why?

“Upon arrival, sailors will take part in the joint Russia-China exercises in the South China Sea,” he said.
Six Chinese ships and vessels will be involved in the drills, according to Martov.
The drills come as Russian President Vladimir Putin is due to arrive in Shanghai on an official visit May 20 to cement economic ties with China, including on energy, the Kremlin said.
This will be the two countries' third such joint training exercise this year, aimed at strengthening the cooperation of their fleets and the ability to withstand various threats in open water.
