Tensions if South China Sea

[jerryfmcompushaft]

The U.S. Navy reportedly has dispatched several ships to the South China Sea amid rising tensions between the U.S., China and other Southeast Asian nations who have claimed territory in the disputed region.

The Navy Times reported Thursday the U.S. sent the USS John C. Stennis, two destroyers, two cruisers and the 7th Fleet flagship to the South China Sea. The deployment comes after Defense Secretary Ash Carter warned China over the militarization of its claimed artificial islands.

There have been tensions for the past few years, especially between Japan and China. But neither country wants to go to war, particularly given their weakening economies and aging populations.
