Of course that's what USNI does, it indoctrinates their audience because of their relationship to the armed forces and armaments industry, even though they contend this is not the case. I've read their material for years.

China is a major power. The western alliance doesn't get to unilaterally write the rules. It is the US that has been unilaterally rejecting international agreements. The PCA/ITLOS has no jurisdiction over Chinese territorial or maritime claims based on sovereignty. Gunboat diplomacy will only lead to war.
