/// The only truth in the article. Even western-inclined Myanmar woman with a gimmick "Nobel Peace Prize" invited her ruling party's first foreign minister, which was from China. During their meetings she agreed that aliens from Catalina Island should not interfere with Asia politics and Chinese waters.
During the US taxpayer-paid 10 ASEAN leaders visit to Washington, none of them want to back joint patrol of China's South Seas, except for alms receiver, aka Pinoys. Even Japan, Back ROI for Pentagon. US's prime Pivot to Asia, refused to join in. Oh, did you watch the video how US military push a number of Humvee off its planes during war games. Guess what, those Humvees did landed, but without their parachutes opening! Pentagon is blaming that those parachutes r Made in China, like most of US problems.
Same way so and to top ti off US nor NATO does not want to go down that road because the Bear is back. And no one can take them lightly. diplomacy is much needed if not leave them alone let the other Asian countries deal with it.
It's a good thing we are getting rid of the great capitulator soon. We are going to need some strength and leadership in the next few years to keep the bullies from overrunning the world.
The world doesn't need a uni-polar dictator, but a bipolar dictatorship. Go from a psychotic one to a one feeling of euphoria at times and a bit of depression at other times. Much better than the uni-polar empire that has destroyed the Middle East and parts of North Africa; thus causing the world’s worst humanitarian disaster since WWII, and still it is always hell bent with its world hegemony.
It is a only matter of time that the US back down from the South China Sea. China is willing to go to war if the US push too far. Time is also on their side as they can even build more submarines, carries and armed forces. They are nuclear as well with means to deliver and that will also improve over time. Now with also Russian backing, are we willing to go to WAR with China in the South China Sea? They will not back down. Its their back yard. China and Russia hold UN security council veto. Both have respectable miliatries and nukes and China have money and sanctions will not work with them because they will sanctions us back i.e.. Auto and other industries. The Question is how far is the US willing to go in the S China Sea? We will not win even in a war. We will never be defeated but if want to win the the S china sea it has to be a war sooner than later and prepare for heavy damages and loosing lots of planes and ships and lives. They say 3/4 of all our planes is needed to win a war over Taiwan. Losing 50-70% of our planes And ships is not worth it. What now?
China is already moving away from.manufacturing. its focusing on technology infrastructure and service. Manufacturing is hot in Vietnam and back to Mexico now. Also china s rise is not just because of manufacturing.
Well if Russia is backing China over this then clearly the Obama Administration will need to apologize. I mean that is what they excel at. Perhaps they can send TWO reset buttons.
yeah, your right, better to do the repulican thing and start a war for.... any reason, even if you have to make one up, like weapons of MASS destruction uh somewhere, i think. then we can destroy America by taking money from corporations and banks in the form of donations for favors, any FAVOR! at least the democrats illegally give some money to, wait for it.... Americans! democrats the lesser of 2 evils. it all comes down to character, something all to rare.
If McArthur had been allowed to "invade" Red China during the Korean War he would have won decisively and we wouldn't have to deal with another no brain, stinking communist dictatorship on earth. Red China's attempt to take over the South China Sea is no different from other communist country's insane and dictatorial policies that are based within megalomania! Think North Korea's Kim who starves his people, looks like a fat hog from Animal Farm (the book by George Orwell) and builds nukes to threaten his neighbors. I can only hope that the first nuke launched by North Korea against a neighboring country will head straight for Beijing, as the Red Chinese have backed the Kims and their insane dictatorships for decades. StocktonRob
Robert you are so stupid it isn't even funny. McArthur was kicked out of North Korea by China in just 2 months precisely because he wanted to invade China by sending his troops close to Chinese border, ignoring warning from China and his own boss president Truman.
If he couldn't even held North Korea for two months how is he going to invade and occupy all of China?
Scroo China. Scroo Russia. Nuke their leaders if they get out of line - put some cruise missiles through their toilet-room windows while Putin is put in flagrante &c. .
Should the dumbask MacArthur stayed away from the yalu river, china would have stayed out of the korean war. A lot of Americans would not have died. And usa got to keep most of North korea as another vassal state. MacArthur like you is an dumbask.
MacArthur did not plan to invade China, he certainly do not have the troops for it. He plan to destroy all the road ,bridges to prevent China from sending in troops.
If we really care, just give Asian countries 80% of the land of America, Australia, New Zealand etc. Then we all have similar population density and thus similar per cap resource. Then peace would follow! Asian per cap pollution is only 20% of ours, thus the total pollution would also improve . There would be less frauds or aggression to grab resources to survive, such as happened from Taiwan. Japan cannot even afford to reproduce and population starts shrinking due to poor resources. Similar situation for China and other Asian countries. The root of the world problem is because we, the west, occupied too much resource by robbing natives and robbing too much gold and silver from Asian countries.
The sad fact is that few really care and we just want to vent our hot air to show our greatness/superiority to Asians and Asian countries! LOL!
Sub humans communist china celebrates earthquake in Japan so we know how low they can go . communist china is here to compete and destroy this country every which way they can , get rid of communist china before doin any business with them . Wake up !
First, pay back the money we owe China. Do we have the money? Americans have already forgotten Pearl Harbor and the Pacific War long time ago, but Chinese never forget Rape of Nanking aver trust Abe.
"Although fishermen have been complaining they're being driven away by Chinese ships, the Philippine Defense Department said it could not confirm an increase in Chinese presence at the shoal, 145 miles (230 kilometers) from Luzon island."
How can the Philippine Defense Department confirm the increase in presence of Chinese ships, when its own navy's ships could not even make the disputed waters? Doesn't have fuel or couldn't buy the needed parts to keep the boats afloat because the money intended for them ended in some admiral's pockets or have been swiped by greedy politicians to beef up their campaign war chest.
You are lying and deceiving, paid Washington's shill, who's job is to BS and misinform American public. Vietnam still remembers how many of their civilians, Washington's war criminals killed during Vietnam War and they will never forgive this nor forget. Neither Japanese will ever forget or forgive Washington's war criminals for drooping 2 atomic bombs on civilian population of their cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki when millions of innocent civilians died and still keep dying up to this day.
Truth Wizard@ all over the world they will remember and they will not forget of their own war innocent civilians died and still keep dying up to this day and the days followed all over the world .
#1 Place sanctions against China, freezing assets, banning imports
That would immediately jump start the American workforce, creating millions of jobs and income from taxes.
China`s stock market would crash, leaving them with the yen worth about as much as the ruble.
#2 When the international court denies China`s claim to the islands. The president should petition the court to declare the building of the islands an environmental disaster. The liability of the the environmental disaster would be on China exclusively.
America could remove the islands and restore the reefs at a cost of, exactly what the US owes China ($1.164 trillion).
Americas economy would be the strongest on earth with people working and the national debt expunged.
Hey idiot, had you not learn from past history? USA sanctioned against a starving Japanese economy. In retaliation, the Japanese Imperial "reciprocated" with a colourful fireworks on Pearl Harbour. Wake up idiot! Use something more constructive!!!
Philipines and Vietnam started asserting their claims after the laws of the seas were drafted. Basically, the laws of the seas gave birth to their claims and were responsible for dividing them.
Look at the adventurism that happens when you have a weakling in the White House for 8 years. Crimea, Eastern Ukraine, South China Sea, Syrian chaos and the associated refugee crisis.... Russia and China are doing whatever they want.
America going into Iraq around a WMD lie with no thought of the consequences was total arrogant stupidity. Intentionally ignoring and allowing China and Russia to get away with annexing whatever they want is quite different you moron...
US is doing what the y want, Crimea belongs to Russia and also Ukraine. the US used Afghanistan to divide Russia. If you were President of the US you would put a lot a lives at risk and America. US needs to leave out a Asia business there are a lot of Asian countries that can group and take on China, why the US have to be down there dictating who has the right to what or what not. United States needs to understand no one gave them the rul to be world police.
