Chinese media slammed the US Thursday for "ceaseless provocations" in the South China Sea, with Washington expected to soon send warships close to artificial islands Beijing has built in disputed waters.
Following a meeting of American and Australian officials Tuesday, US Defense Secretary Ash Carter warned Beijing that Washington will continue to send its military where international law allows, including the South China Sea.
The remarks were backed by Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, who said the two countries are "on the same page."
An editorial in The Global Times, which is close to China's ruling Communist party, condemned Washington's "ceaseless provocations and coercion".
"China mustn't tolerate rampant US violations of China's adjacent waters and the skies over those expanding islands," it said, adding that its military should "be ready to launch countermeasures according to Washington's level of provocation," it added.
The warship or ships would pass within the 12-mile territorial limit China claims around the structures to demonstrate that US commanders do not recognise it.
Such a move, the Global Times suggested, could be a "breach of China's bottom line".
"If the US encroaches on China's core interests, the Chinese military will stand up and use force to stop it," the paper warned.

Looks like our "peace President" is screwing up again.
Leave them alone, for Christ's sake !!!
Update - I thoroughly expect that Obama ad-Dajjal's imminent war with China is motivated by his desire for Congress to pass the TPP. Once Chinese planes or ships fire on US forces, it will be quite easy to get "our" Representatives and Senators to vote for this treaty which allegedly is aimed at China.
Second Update - Things seem to be getting worse, not better:
"The United States' provocative attempts to infringe on China's South China Sea sovereignty are sabotaging regional peace and stability and militarizing the waters. What on earth makes the United States think China should and will tolerate it when U.S. surface ships trespass on Chinese territory in the South China Sea?"

Anyone reminded of August 1914 ???
Third Update - Obama ad-Dajjal has given the green light for the sacrificial lamb to get underway. Heaven help us!
