From time to time, political messages are exchanged between China and the United States of America, along with NATO, although sometimes these messages are with military tools .

Frictions between NATO and the United States on the one hand, and China on the other, are increasing in various traditional hotbeds of tension between them, especially in Taiwan and in the South China Sea, which is almost becoming a key arena of conflict between Beijing and Washington.

In the latest confrontation, in a message of defiance to China and proof of a military presence, the Chinese military said it had driven away a US cruiser armed with guided missiles that illegally entered waters near the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea.

"The actions of the US military have seriously violated China's sovereignty and security,"said Tian Junli, spokesman for the people's Liberation Army's southern region command.

There is no doubt that the South China Sea is the fulcrum of the conflict and confrontation between China and the United States, especially since it is considered one of the largest seas in the world, as it overlooks the various countries that Washington wants to rally to its side in the context of its intensifying struggle for influence in that sea, which is an extremely important navigation corridor, as well as its wealth, natural resources and pivotal geopolitical position,"he said.

Despite the American rejection, the South China Sea remains one of the most prominent elements of strength in Chinese strategic thinking, the foundation for the expansion of Beijing's global role, especially through its control through this sea in international trade lines.

It is one of the most vital commercial shipping routes in the world, as it is one of the main commercial arteries that collect waterways from both Singapore and Malaysia, and connects to many other countries extending to Indonesia and the Philippines .

It is also abundant with economic sources, marine life that provides the necessary food for the densely populated area.

And also extremely important for the whole world in relation to the movement of international trade, and not only for the countries that use it.
