Map Shows U.S. Military Projecting Power Around China

The services of the U.S. armed forces have led or joined at least 20 multinational training events in the Western Pacific since January, many with the aim of maintaining readiness to face adversaries including North Korea and strategic rivals like China.

In the Indian and Pacific oceans—a combined theater of operations the Pentagon says will remain a priority for decades to come—American troops have been deployed for nearly 10 weeks in various bilateral, trilateral and multilateral exercises. This is according to public releases by the Hawaii-based U.S. Indo-Pacific Command or its regional constituents.
 
Last month, on the second anniversary of the Biden administration's Indo-Pacific strategy, the National Security Council said "historic progress" had been made to ensure the region remained favorable to the United States and American staying power in an age of great power competition.

If we weren't doing all that before, we should have been.

In the meantime, no mention of the Chinese building up and establishing military bases on islands in waters that have as many as four or five nations claiming rights, and interfering with the resupply of existing bases of those nations.

As for freedom of navigation, use it or lose it. Someone has to keep the bullies at bay.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Now, what about shooting down Chi-com spy balloons and stopping Chi-com land purchases?

I agree. Shoot down any unidentified balloon. I'm real sorry if it turns out to be a "fun" personal device.

However, blocking land purchases will be trickier. All China (or any other country) has to do is find a willing US citizen (traitor) to be a front man for their purchase. And I sadly believe there are many.

Lots of people will do just about anything for money; the more risk, the more money they want.

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
