I doubt it. But he'll have the chance. I guarantee.
China’s recent moves have raised the potential for such armed attacks against rival Southeast Asian claimants in the sea.
On January 22, China’s National People’s Congress approved a new Coast Guard Law, which for the first time legally authorizes Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) forces to fire on foreign vessels in “waters claimed by China” – meaning the South China Sea.
Earlier drafts of the newly-approved CCG legislation called on CCG forces to use “all necessary means” to protect Chinese sovereignty and interests in China-claimed waters.
The Coast Guard Law specifically empowers the CCG to “take all necessary measures, including the use of weapons when national sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction are being illegally infringed upon by foreign organizations or individuals at sea.”
The law reportedly also gives the CCG the authority to board and inspect foreign vessels, fire at threatening foreign vessels, and even to demolish other claimant states’ civilian and military structures over contested land features in the area.
