And how did the US and other parties respond to China’s unilateral interference in their territories held since ancient times? Did they throw a hissy fit and stomp out of negotiations only to return later to lecture that ’some states are small powers and others are large powers’; did US et al withdraw military cooperation with China due to China’s blatant interference in their internal affairs? Nope, guess some powers are just more mature, funny how shallow 5,000 years of history has left Chinese ‘diplomacy’! South China Sea should be terra nullis, turned into a nature preserve with free passage for all and its resources placed under the guardianship of an international caretaker who will devote profits to ASEAN development… how about that China?

Hopefully one day, Chinese aircraft carriers and submarines will practise their seamanship in the Carribean.

China’s claim to the Arctic resembles its claim to the Spratlys in one
important way: China is nowhere near either place.

Stay tuned: Next year China will claim North Dakota.

Canada and the US are extremely rich and diverse considering resourses and military might. China has yet to experience and to understand the common bond that these two countries share, and if there is to be any exclusion it will be directed at China.

They bully southern neighbors, claim the whole south sea as their lake. Recently, they flexed their navy power beyond Japanese sea…World peace doesn’t look good under this Chinese hegemony. But look at where Nazi Germany and militarist Japan ended. PLA China is heading there.

You have to realise that the conduct and behaviour of of the 1% of PRC citizens who are party members and who control more than 70% of the nations wealth is founded on an appalling lack of concern for any ehtical or moral principle except the use of power.

The record of his rulers, and the muscular talk of PLA officer’s of late clearly indicate they are itching for a fight. The Admiral’s position is, if you know the background to the Regime, its “body count” since 1949 and its gross violations, undoubtedly “hostile”?

On the international scene self-interest is admittedly a characteristic of all nations, but it is taken to a hideous extreme by the Beijing regime who have no decent morality and support the worst violators of human rights (Iran, Zimbabwe, Burma etc)

We are beginning to see their true colours (they were always evident if you understood what they were doing in terms of religious & sect persecution, Tibet Xinjiang, The Republic of China (Taiwan) and the jailing and beating of parents who protest about their kids being killed by corruptly built buildings killing schoolchildren, or when corrupt officials transmit HIV/AIDS to the innocent when buying their blood – YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE POLITICAL TO BE BRUTALLY SUPPRESSED – although anyone with a decent set of ethics and morality is recognised as an enemy by a regime that has none and who lies to the world and its people.

Unfortunately, whilst I suspect your sympathies are with the Regime, I doubt that my civilisation is going to wake up to what is really going on. I know PRC will trade oceans of blood to emerge victorious. The threat of a decapitation strike could keep us all safe.
