Summary:
Obama administration officials have been busy patting themselves on the back for what happened on October 27th in the South China Sea. There, the destroyer USS Lassen passed within 12 nautical miles of Subi Reef in the Spratly Islands, without incident. China, which claims sovereignty over the reef, claims that crossing that supposed 12-mile limit violates its territorial waters. The destroyer was asserting the principle of freedom of navigation through international waters, proving that the US will not be intimidated.
The voyage of the USS Lassen is part of an intensifying war of nerves for control of the Spratly Islands, a collection of reefs, rocks, and islets that have no fewer than six governments claiming sovereignty over part or (in China's case) all of them. The Navy's Lassen mission may be too little too late.
