PRC and Vietnam fought naval battles over paracel islands in 74 and 88
WI sometime between this period PRC goes for a full fledged assault on all South china sea islands inc their disputes with Taiwan, Philippines and Vietnam?
How will these nations and their allies respond?
Obviously Chinese will not start hostilities anywhere else i.e no land war with Vietnam, no invasion of Taiwan etc
But do they have the naval capacity to take over these islands in the 1975 to 1987 period? And keep this a limited conflict ?
