CHINA IS PREPARING FOR WAR IN SE ASIA (and it WILL spread)

On April 25, 2012 (see story in the archives of this website), I mentioned that China is not to be trusted. Over the past twenty years, the Western World has surrendered their manufacturing to the Chinese due to low cost labor economics and greed. Because of this the largest wealth transformation in human history has taken place in favor of China. In truth, CHINA has NEVER been a friend to the west and has always been frustrated by Western dominance and creativity in all things from scientific advancement to military prowess. This gap has now disappeared and China is getting stronger and now fully realizing their new power and the wests growing weakness. This coupled with the FACT that unlike the western democracies, the real Chinese leadership is shared between the civilian politicians and the military. However, if the military disagrees with the politicians, the military will do what it damn well pleases, since the politicians do not have the ultimate power to stop the military for acting (a subtle but real difference between how the USA and China operates). In the article below, Hillary Clinton is making a lot of meaningless hollow noise in SE Asia about bringing all parties at odds in the island dispute in the South China Sea to the negotiating table (Hillary sort of reminds me of former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain trying to appease the Nazi’s while they were overrunning Europe). What the article does not tell you is that the Chinese Army, Navy and Airforce has been aggressively planning for war and no group of politicians is going to deny them of this glory. The article below does give a hint about what i’m saying at the end of the news release by telling us that China has built a huge city like base in the middle of the conflict and aimed thousands of missiles (some nuclear) at all important targets in the South China Sea including Viet Nam, the Phillipines and Japan. Of particular interest is the Youtube video links attached at the end of the article. Be sure to check out China’s recent propaganda Youtube film “China vs the Phillipines”, where the Chinese make a silly TOTALLY INACCURATE statement that the well trained Chinese “Women’s” Standing Army is numerically larger than the population of the United States (and Obama wants us to destroy all of our Nukes….hahahaha), so just imagine how many are in the “MEN’s Chinese Army”. In truth at last count, the Chinese Army totalled approximately 2,400,000 active soldiers which is still a huge standing army but not near what they claimed in the middle of this video: Fun to watch though….read on.

Clinton seeks Chinese accord on South China Sea
By MATTHEW LEE, Associated Press – 27 minutes ago
BEIJING (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is in Beijing to press Chinese authorities to agree to peacefully resolve disputes with their smaller neighbors over competing territorial claims in the South China Sea. But as she began her meetings here, China questioned the stated neutrality of the United States.
Clinton met late Tuesday with Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi after arriving in China from Indonesia, where she urged Southeast Asian nations to present a unified front in dealing with China in attempts to ease rising tensions in the South China Sea. Clinton will meet on Wednesday with other top Chinese officials, including President Hu Jintao and State Councillor Dai Bingguo.
The U.S. wants China and the other claimants to adopt a binding code of conduct for the region, along with a process to resolve maritime disputes without coercion, intimidation or the use of force. Clinton wants the Chinese to drop their insistence on settling conflicting claims with individual nations and instead embrace a multilateral mechanism that will give the smaller members of the Association of South East Asian Nations greater clout in negotiations.
She urged all parties to make “meaningful progress” by a November summit of East Asian leaders that President Barack Obama plans to attend in Cambodia..
In Indonesia’s capital before heading to China, Clinton offered strong U.S. support for a regionally endorsed plan to ease rising tensions by implementing the code of conduct. Jakarta is the headquarters of ASEAN, and Clinton pressed the group to insist that China agree to deal with them as a bloc.
The stance puts the U.S. squarely at odds with China, which has become more aggressive in pressing its territorial claims with its smaller neighbors and wants the disputes to be resolved with each country, giving it greater leverage.
Clinton made her case in Jakarta on Tuesday in meetings with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and ASEAN secretary general Surin Pitsuwan, a day after she delivered the same message to Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa. Indonesia has played a leading role in putting the six-point plan together after ASEAN was unable to reach consensus on the matter in July.
Clinton said the U.S. is “encouraged” by the plan but wants it acted on — particularly implementation and enforcement of the code of conduct, which has languished since a preliminary framework for it was first agreed upon in 2002. .
“The United States has a national interest, as every country does, in the maintenance of peace and stability, respect for international law, freedom of navigation, unimpeded lawful commerce in the South China Sea,” Clinton told reporters at a news conference with Natalegawa.
“The United States does not take a position on competing territorial claims … but we believe the nations of the region should work collaboratively to resolve disputes without coercion, without intimidation and certainly without the use of force,” she said. “That is why we encourage ASEAN and China to make meaningful progress toward finalizing a comprehensive code of conduct in order to establish rules of the road and clear procedures for peacefully addressing disagreements.”
Yet China on Tuesday expressed skepticism that the U.S. is neutral in the disputes.
“The U.S. has many times said it does not take a position,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei said on Tuesday. “I hope they will keep their promise and do more to help stability and not the opposite. The South China Sea dispute is a complicated thing. To China, the South China Sea dispute is about the sovereignty of some of the islands there. China, like other countries in the world, has the obligation to safeguard its territories.”
China and a host of Southeast Asian countries, including the Philippines, Vietnam and Brunei, have overlapping claims to several small, but potentially energy-rich areas of the South China Sea.
In July, China angered the United States, as well as Vietnam and the Philippines, by creating a city and military garrison on a remote island 220 miles from its southernmost province intended to administer hundreds of thousands of square miles of water where China wants to strengthen its control over disputed islands. China, which also has disputes with Japan in the East China Sea, rejected the criticism.
In addition to the South China Sea, Clinton will be discussing the situation in Syria as well as the efforts to deal with Iran and North Korea’s nuclear programs while she is in the Chinese capital.
Clinton is in China at the midpoint of an 11-day, six-nation tour of the Asia-Pacific region that started in the Cook Islands and Indonesia. After she leaves China, she will visit East Timor and Brunei before heading to Russia’s Far East to represent the United States at the annual meeting of leaders from the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Vladivostock.
