Was going to post on this today too- there's all sorts of geopolitical maneuvering that appears related to strategically positioning cruise missiles within cargo vessels.
Isn't it hiding military vessels, and a warcrime. Doesnt it constitute as flying the wrong maritime flags, and is piracy. Of course there are exceptions to smaller arms. But those can attack ships, and aren't defensive? Unclear.
The CCP has a history of using "commercial" vessels for state security purposes. For example, ramming vessels in the SCS. Since they're communists and the state owns 51% of every commercial venture, I don't think they have the same separation here that other countries do
Piracy. I had heard of their fishing fleet being armed. It just makes them all an active threat, and not commercial vessels? In which case shoot it first. There are a few other nations which have adopted similar tactics, an African nation doing the same, using lots of small craft as missile boats, Iran is similar.
But there is often a Miltary distinction instead of pretending to be commercial vessels. However when China claims the South China Sea there might be exceptions in economic zones and territorial waters. The problem in the South China Sea is the obvious fallout of attacking them first.
They've so far been reluctant to copy paste this strategy to other emerging ports they've created such as this in Africa. Probably because pirates get spanked
It's a swarm tactic. Lots of small missile boats versus battleship. Crappy boats, junks, barges, fishing boats, disguised. It seems. You're talking hundreds, getting orders from the military, and they roll up as not being identified, until they fire on a battleship, or coast guard. It doesn't quite work like that anymore, because the interception, radar, and penetration a Battleship has is much better. But it's an active threat, distinguishing between what's what. Kill them all. War it would be an interesting encounter. It simply paints it all red, as it always has done in conflict. Ah look it's a kaboom. But that is advancing to hide its status. Why, it's not defense. Fishing vessel doesn't need missiles.
The piracy in the South China Sea has been historic.
In Africa huge, but forget which country started doing it. Because it's cheaper than making battleships. Just get the monkeys to sink their own craft. Imagine that firing from a junk. It's gonna burn a hole right through it. Nevermind its muntion store getting covered in fish guts.
Yes but there are international rules. Fairly sure that military ships acting as commercial ships is piracy. A breach of the rules. Except possibly within that nation's waters where they enforce their own rules.
Perhaps this creates a problem, where the South China Sea isn't recognised as Chinese, despite China laying claim to it.
China has been secretly buying seaports (allegedly). Controlling the world’s sea ports with their own bought out ppl.
Google search China buying seaports. dozens of articles. forbes, military, etc.

There are no rules in love and war
