China Slams US "Hypocrisy", Tells Obama To Stop "Inspiring Militancy"
Tensions between China and the U.S. continue to grow. On Wednesday, Beijing called U.S. Secretary remark about "provocative behavior" of China in the South China Sea "inspiring militancy," and insisted that the U.S. "stop encouraging the provocation" of the Philippines and Vietnam. As China Daily reports, China has expressed the view that the U.S. must abandon the "hypocrisy" and stop publicly support Vietnam and the Philippines in territorial disputes with China.
As RIA reports, Tensions between China and the U.S. continues to grow, experts say. On Wednesday, Beijing called U.S. Secretary remark about "provocative behavior" of China in the South China Sea "inspiring militancy," writes China Daily .
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in a telephone conversation with John Kerry that China insists that the U.S. "stop encourage provocation" of the Philippines and Vietnam.
According to analysts, so China has expressed the view that the U.S. must abandon the "hypocrisy" and stop publicly support Vietnam and the Philippines in territorial disputes with China.
Earlier it was reported that the Philippine government to seize the Chinese fishing boat and 11 crew members on charges of catching endangered sea turtles in the territory disputed waters of the South China Sea. Shortly before that, Vietnam demanded that China stop drilling for oil in the South China Sea.
Tensions between China, Vietnam and the Philippines began to increase after last week, President Barack Obama signed a new military agreement with the Philippines, which aims to persuade Asian allies of American support in case of conflict with Beijing.
According to experts, the reason why the conflict risks becoming much more serious than just a territorial dispute is because Philippines quickly became embroiled in the geopolitical rivalry between the U.S. and China, while the two powers are fighting for strategic dominance in the western Pacific Ocean, says Al Jazeera article "Strategic Dilemma of the Philippines, between the eagle and the dragon."
Professor at the Chinese Institute of International Relations Dan Dzhankun believes that the U.S. is fully engaged in the problems encountered in the Asia-Pacific region because of its relationship with China. However, Washington's aggressive behavior in the territory of South-East Asia is unlikely to stabilize the situation. "The Obama administration is moving away from a century of U.S. diplomatic tradition in maintaining the balance between the other two countries," - said the expert, noting that "sabotage relations between the south-eastern countries may have important implications for the situation in the region and even the world. And fatal mistakes in strategy, which adheres Obama can not be ignored."
Seems like the potential for "costs" are growing...

"Used to be that the first thing I did in the morning was to get up and check on the bond markets because there might be a steal of a deal in there."
Just wow...
Don't you think that perhaps you were just riding the wave that TPTB were generating? Only when they're not dropping big crumbs are we now seeing them as shit? And the "free shit" people that you refer to, perhaps some of them once had a job but got margin'd out due to some big shifts in bond markets.
We're ALL in this together. I'm tired of people pointing fingers...
Bring in the drones,
There ought to be drones.
Well all China/Russia needs to do is liquidate its US debt, stop purchasing more until the rates exceed 10% and settle all international trade in gold rather than dollars.
It's funny how China actually finances the US war machine across Asia.
If China did not enable the US to wander the Pacific and bribe these governments then many of the political and military hurdles China wants to overcome might actually dissipate.
Maybe the Chinese leadership should re-read the Art of War, rather than the dessert menu at 1789.
"It's funny how China actually finances the US war machine across Asia."
Yes, but let's also not forget that that activity also is essential for keeping trade routes operating, trade routes that the Chinese also benefit from. If you do "police" work you're going to end up capping others, and once that happens you tend to build up forces against you: up to this point China hasn't had to really use muscle against others (except internally).
It's quite possible that this is all backroom'd, that Russia, China and the US are staging it all as such. How things are shaping up is quite logical, all according to how a world in decline (no growth) would work. When you've got a billions of people wired with nationalism, including some very powerful members, it's reallly not a good idea to just come out and tell everyone that this is all negotiated in order to keep the peace.
The Chinese are really not going to be stepping up all that much. Maybe they get to do a little, but I think that they'e peaked (the US and Russia know this). Russia can run a bit longer, but it could never be a global replacement for US power; and, well, there will never again be any dominating power like the US, not by a long shot.
Down-voter(s), how about a comment? You don't believe that US military actions helps keep trade routes open for China? You don't believe that China would find itself having to get tough with folks in other countries? You don't believe that China is likely going to be able to step it up as a global policeman? Or, you don't believe that the three largest and most powerful countries on the planet are backrooming up a plan to ease everything down (and down is the only direction that things are heading)? Oh, or perhaps you believe that there's going to be another country coming along that is able to straddle the entire globe as has the US?
En Brouille
Too stupid
As long as we are going to have a war with Russia, might as well have one with China, too. Preemptive nuclear first strike for both of them.
First, replace the hit-to-kill warheads on our BMD with nuclear warheads, will expand kill radius to 1 mile with high-yield weapons. Use BMD as a mop-up after a first-stike.
Only one little problem . . .
The long-term environmental consequences from nuclear war will leave Earth uninhabitable. A global stratospheric smoke layer will form that will block sunlight for 10 years or longer, creating Ice Age weather on Earth. Growing seasons will be eliminated for more than 10 years, no agriculture, no food = no people.
Nuclear war is suicide for the human race, but the US and Russia keep running their nuclear war games and ignoring the existential threat their arsenals pose to all nations and peoples.
The military drills are for show, to stoke nationalism, to gain alms for the defense contractors. No fucking way is any of the big three interested in detonating anything. The big three are homes to their own set of powers, powers that will continue to be powers, and if only within their borders then better that than dead.
That's the good part.
The bad part is that it won't stop the next glacial period from happening. We are all toast?
But the Chinese (and Indian) sudden push for getting going a practical Thorium MSR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_reactor) could change the situation.
With effective deployment of lots of MSR plants, the dependence on oil and coal is reduced and there is a way to decomission (safely) the dangerous uranium/plutonium based reactors.
Remember that China put the hustle on their project which did have a 25 year plan, and decided to shorten the goal to 10 years.
MSR everywhere (lots of small plants), electricty for transport manufaturing and heating, oil/coal for products/plastics and fertilisers. Electric powered graphene based desalination/purification plants to recover the drinking water and agriculture needs.
Solar power/wind power etc ... as well if you like - but almost certainly not economical.
With enough energy, there are no techincal barriers.
There ARE the usual political barriers that get created by rampant greed.
China, relax, Kerry and Odummer are just doing what they are being told to do.... It's just a matter of time until their militancy comes to our backyard. Which will be dealt with by good ole 30-06.
I agree with China's statement. The U.S., claiming to be the moral leader in the world should never have given China Most Favorable Trading Status. We've made Communist Red China the country upon which US industry is most dependent, shipped our jobs, neutered our skilled labor force, and put ourselves into untenible debt based on the giant short term profits that cutting our once well paid labor force to the bone and shipping them over to a tyranical, authoritarian, ultra-repressive communist oligarchy has created.
We need to end the hypocracy of acting like the leader of an open democratic capitalist nation while selling the soul of this nation to a closed, repressive 2 class system in which the vast majority are essentially serfs to the ruling communist insiders. The problem is, that the ruling class in the United States is happy with such a system for themselves and probably envies the total domination that the elite have over their people in China. One World One Dream?
China could sell all of our bonds and destroy their own currency in the process. Their debt situation is worse than ours in many ways.
Truth is, in my opinion, that at the end of the day Walmart and Apple and those other which are deeply dependent on China to make their goods at slave wages will dictate US foreign policy rather than Statemen and the US will be shown to be a paper tiger. Oh, how times have changed. Where are the likes of Douglas MacArthur and Dwight Eisenhower and a US government that is not beholden to ever concentrated wealth? Nowhere that I can see.
Furthermore
We have to STOP exporting our scrap metal to China. Why? Are we ready in anyway to fire up the iron mines, redirect all the coal, mine coke, start the steel mills, tool up? I agree with everything stated above but there are additional logistical materials that need to be secured, talent located. Do you wonder how far out we are on the limb, sawing on the branch upon which we sit?
Machine Tools, Metals, Raw Materials, Talent
"We have to STOP exporting our scrap metal to China."
Yeah, we're done with the cleanup from 9/11, right?
"Machine Tools, Metals, Raw Materials, Talent"
Missing a couple: Energy, consumers (everyone's broke- this doesn't bode well for China either, this and energy too!)
Don't worrry, the FEDs are already on track to destroy our currency.
The currency was kiled in 1971.
What the Fed is killing is credit. And in the end they'll go black-hole and swallow all the losses on all the fucked up assets they're holding- debt jubilee motherfuckers! (but let's not speak too loudly about this lest all those greedy traders out there kill it)
Children running the White House.....
It is so much cheaper to use Ukranians, Filipinos, and Vietnamese than to use American Armed Service members to do the work of the banksters and corporations. FUCK YOU USSA.
Mmmh

Money printing and low interest rates have created a world that is like a playground full of bullies. They walk around in circles waiting for someone to bump into them or give them a dirty look. If noone does, they make the circles bigger and walk faster. They used to trade baseball cards, stickers, and gum. Now they trade punches.
We've been heading hockey-stick-like since 1971 when the world's reserve currency became no more than a "pledge" (among thieves). That was the moment that set the trajectory, it was just a ramp-up of the existing equation (exponential growth [refer to 1913; or, go back to Roman times]).
Maybe they've war gamed it so completely and found that only Belgium will survive a nuke war.
Those waffles are HUGE (can hide a lot of stuff in them)!

Sheesh
Everbody thinks it's easy running a renegade homicidal empire or something.
"renegade" and "homicidal" are redunancies. Just "empire" is sufficient to indicate how things go: read Sir John Glubb's paper: http://www.rexresearch.com/glubb/glubb-empire.pdf
There are 2 important things to remember here:
1) "China will not be contained. "
2) "The U.S. economy is fake."
Everything else is theater.
When you buy a new hammer, someone suddenly shows up "I'm nail, hit me hit me!", LOL.
'Let's go back to the `Spanish American (1898) War', in which, for all practical (reasons?) purposes... were but american imperialism growing pains. The U.S. wanted Spain's porfolio of past pacific conquest? in a nutshell!'
The Panama Canal was no surprise regarding U.S expansion.
All this goes back to the end of the 20th century regarding Spain-- gaving up the Philippines, Guam, PR, Cuba, East Indies, Luzon Strait where Vietnam and Taiwan play an important part in "All Sea's belong are US',... so we, america conquer first and negotiate later?!?
Note: Japan and the Philippines are vast archipelago's

Any "white" American should take note of this if they're thinking they're going to escape to one of these places. My wife is from the Philippines (the "white" friendly part- not the south), and while I've been perfectly safe there up until now I am not foolish enough to believe that it would stay that way when the US empire collapses.
