Good on you for stating what US military bases are actually used for!
Tell me which nation was under threat in the South China Sea
The key being in the name - South
China Sea. It’s complicated but China does have a little more right to be in the area than the US.
Imagine if you a will a map like I posted of Eurasia but instead of North America. All the way across the Canadian border, the Mexican border and on Cuba and the Caribbean there were Chinese flags denoting Chinese bases. How do you think Americans would feel? Can you see how China reacts in a similar situation?
Sometimes it is necessary to squeeze the puppet back into it's box. Very few countries have the capability to project that influence.

Hasnt the US Navy just admitted they can’t defeat China in a conflict scenario. That’s a long way from “squeezing them back into a box”.....
