Experts deny that China Leads in Extracting Flammable Ice/More unrest in the South China Sea

In the Chinese media, having the technology to extract flammable ice is a matter of national pride. Chinese media claim that China is leading and reshaping the future of energy with "flammable ice". But some wary Chinese netizens are wondering why developed countries such as the United States and Japan are slow to exploit flammable ice, while China is leading the way.
An online critique pointed out that the Chinese official media is misleading the public. The article said that the technology used in China's exploration of flammable ice is conventional both in terms of drilling and gas extraction. The drilling vessels are also conventional deep-sea drilling vessels, not custom-made for extracting flammable ice. They have merely made a breakthrough in adapting to the water depth and drilling depth, which has nothing to do with mining flammable ice.
Another major challenge is that if mining occurs at the bottom of the sea, a blowout will cause seawater vaporization, which could result in a tsunami, leading to huge losses.
