砂卵石

A century later, and the sandal is on the other foot and in a different river.

Behold, Chinese gunboats cruising up the Mekong.

China and several neighbouring countries will provide armed escorts to ships navigating the Mekong River, state media said Wednesday, after 13 Chinese sailors were killed on the key waterway last month.
...
The report also quoted Yang Xi, a spokesperson for the Yunnan border corps, as saying that patrol forces would escort both Chinese ships and those from other countries.
The Mekong flows through Yunnan into southeast Asia.

China reacted angrily to the October attack, summoning diplomatic envoys from Thailand, Laos and Myanmar and asking authorities to speed up investigations into the incident.

It also sent patrol boats down the Mekong to escort 164 stranded Chinese sailors and 28 cargo ships home, and has suspended shipping on the waterway, which runs through the four countries as well as Cambodia and Vietnam.

One message is clear - China don't play. So, how long until someone calls the Communist Chinese "imperialist running dogs?"
