Q: USA Carrier Group start patrols in South China Sea
Is this a common practice or something new.
Will it increase tention or will there just be noisy outcrys of being bullied?
Will it stir up trouble for expats in China?

As you should know, it's a fairly regular thing.
China will just huff and puff, and bore our house down.
The obvious response to China would be "remember that agreement you signed not so long ago, that says NO-ONE has rights to the islands until fully mediated... yeah, well - they still ain't yours!"
Haven't you heard. The US used to own the S China sea in the 60's and early 70's. They are going to reclaim it.

Bring on the war, let's make some money and tear shit up.

the treaty forbids giving Asian allies nuclear technology, now we can load up South Korea with missiles and withdraw 30 thousand troops there, actually a good negotiating trick to scare North Korea into compliance with any so called nuclear free zone that turns out later to be a false statement, like Jimmy Carter giving them nuclear technology for so called peaceful purposes and then using it to make weapons under Clinton's reign.

It could be China wants Taiwan before the 330 million dollars of new fighter planes arrive and Trump will bomb North Korea to weaken Chineese forces for Taiwan so they have to protect fattie kim and China wants Russian assistance for this scenario, but then Russia will have to deal with Japan, a strong Taiwan ally. It's not going to be a pretty picture. China played the bully card in the SCS and everybody is stocking up on munitions and China only has a personnel advantage, if you don't attack soon before all the weapons are in place and the infrastructure to support them, then its too late and nothing can be gained.

Trumps asia policy is arm everybody to the teeth and leave, no troops, no navy, just leave and let them wipe each other out and then come in at the end, like we did in ww2, not sure he can keep neocons from changing his plan.

A hugely significant incident occurred in the Persian Gulf on Friday, first reported by CNN and now confirmed through official U.S. Navy statements. An American warship — the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship Essex — was approached by two armed Iranian fast boats at a moment that commander of U.S. Central Command, Gen. Joseph Votel, was on board.
CNN reported, based on official military sources, that at one point the pair of Iranian boats crossed within 300 yards in front of the Essex; however a Navy statement did not deem the incident as intentionally hostile in spite of video footage revealing what clearly appears to be harassing maneuvers around the much larger U.S. vessel.
The USS Essex had CENTCOM Chief Gen. Joseph Votel aboard at the time of the incident.

The devil is always in the details, China has been developing supersonic missile to take out aircraft carriers while the treaty restricted America from doing the same thing.
It's amazing how many treaties don't fit the current technology or current world order that so called elites never review and modify. The smart people looking out for us.

You make it sound like the DPRK is stalling to buy time for China. ...might be exactly what is happening to
