China Lashes Out At US: "Refrain From Provocative Action"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Yesterday, in a stunning admission that already frigid relations between China and the US (because according to the lying White House it is Russia that is "isolated", even as Putin was sitting next to China's president on May 9) are getting worse, if not outright hostile, by the day we learned that US Defense Secretary Ash Carter has asked his staff to look at military options to rebuke Chinese ambitions in the South China Sea area around the Spratly Islands, which has recently become a topic of contention between China and most of its neighbors, especially the Philippines and Vietnam.

And while apparently the US does not have its hands full already with orchestrating (and profiting from) two proxy regional wars, one in Ukraine and one in the Middle East, and feels compelled (by shareholders of US "defense" companies) to prove to the world it has long since lost its globocop status when China roundly ignores American threats, China wasted no time to do just that and overnight Beijing strongly condemned a proposed U.S. military plan to send aircraft and Navy ships near disputed South China Sea islands to contest Chinese territorial claims over the area.

As cited by the WSJ, China Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said that “we are severely concerned about relevant remarks made by the American side. We believe the American side needs to make clarification on that." 

One can hope. Then again, the US State Department may just dispatch some potatoes to China courtesy of John Kerry and that may be the end of it.

 

China however will demand more than just vegetables: the unusually strong comments came after U.S. officials said Defense Secretary Ash Carter had asked his staff to look at options to counter China’s increasingly assertive claims over disputed islets in the South China Sea. Those options, officials said, include flying Navy surveillance aircraft over islands and sending U.S. Navy ships within 12 nautical miles of reefs that have been built up in recent months around the Spratly Islands.

“We always uphold the freedom of navigation in the South China Sea,” Ms. Hua said. “But the freedom of navigation definitely does not mean the military vessel or aircraft of a foreign country can willfully enter the territorial waters or airspace of another country. The Chinese side firmly upholds national sovereignty and security.”

But the biggest slap in the face of the US yet, came when China explicitly told the US not to meddle in China's own affairs, especially since it didnt even call it by name.

Ms. Hua said Beijing urged “relevant countries to refrain from taking risky and provocative action.”

 

The proposed U.S. military maneuvers and China’s swift response have raised the stakes in an already tense regional showdown over who controls the disputed waters. Six governments–China, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and the Philippines—claim the South China Sea waters, islands, reefs and atolls in whole or in part.

And while China's immediate neighbors who stand to lose the most once China begins flexing its territorial expansion muscle quickly gravitated toward the US outburst which will now cost the US dearly if it is unwilling or unable to further escalate with China, the biggest loser is Australia which is between a rock, i.e., its biggest trading partner China, and a hard case, i.e., the US which demands that Australia remain in its sphere of diplomatic influence:

Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told The Wall Street Journal that Canberra doesn’t take sides on competing territorial claims in the South China Sea, but is in close contact with the U.S. on regional tensions.

 

“We are concerned that land reclamation activity by China and other claimants could raise tensions in the region,” Ms. Bishop said.

 

The expansion of South China Sea shoals has put Canberra in an uncomfortable position between Washington, its longstanding security ally, and China, its largest trade partner. Defense Minister Kevin Andrews is expected to discuss regional tensions with his U.S. counterpart, Mr. Carter, in Singapore in a few weeks.

What makes it even worse for Australia is that the US is forcing it to decide: U.S. military commanders have in recent months urged Australia to consider joining multinational patrols in international waters north of Indonesia, while also increasing the frequency of U.S. warship and aircraft visits through Australian bases on the periphery of regional tensions.

At this rate China will simply take matters into its own hands and outsource all Australian exports to some other nation, in the process leading to a depression for Australia which will at least have cordial relations with what is perhaps the most incompetent US State Department in history.

But the biggest wildcard is Japan: "Security experts are closely watching whether Japan will start sending surveillance planes and naval vessels to the contentious waters of the South China Sea to aid the U.S.’s efforts to patrol the region."

Japan, as a reminder, was in a comparable state of utter economic catastrophe a little over 70 years ago when it had little to lose and potentially much to gain when it entered World War II against the US in the process dragging America into the global conflict.

According to many Japan is the same loose cannon now, and with its inevitable demographic disaster, an economy that will implode the second the BOJ loses control over the Nikkei, and production that is no longer competitive on the global arena absent massive currency devaluation every month, if there is anyone who could and would see to provoke another global conflict, it is Tokyo yet again.

As for the US, we doubt the US State Department is dumb enough to engage China openly as this would inevitably lead to another world war, although one has learned to never bet against the stupidity of US government workers, especially when there is an unlimited amount of neocon blood money urging them on to an outcome that would lead to the death of hundreds of millions of innocent people or, as it is better known in the US military industrial complex, record profits.

Meanwhile, those curious to see if the US will indeed engage China and resort to anything more than a mere war of words, here is the latest naval update. If US ships find themselves in the vicinity of the Spratlys, then indeed human stupidity - and greed - is unlimited.

The author is completely right, Japan is the wildcard. The US doesn't have any friends in Asia. China and Russia could open (and technically have) two fronts. Eastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean, and China in the South China Sea. European armies are woefully ill-equipped to handle Putin, so the US is looking at conflicts in multiple countries that they can't possibly win. A re-armed Japan is the US's only hope in Asia.

Exactly what Chamberlain saw in 1937 - British interests threatened in Asia by a former ally Japan building a powerful navy ; potential problems in Europe with Germany looking to revise Versailles and building Bismarck and Tirpitz; Italy with a powerful navy and Littorio class battleships; and the US hiding away especially after USS Panay was sunk in 1937 by Japanese planes.........it was the prospect of three front annihilation

 Based on a bet by the other members of his threesome, Everitt Sanchez tried to wash his own "balls" in a ball washer at the local golf course. Proving once again that beer and testosterone are a bad mix, Sanchez managed to straddle the ball washer and dangle his scrotum in the machine. Much to his dismay, one of his buddies upped the ante by spinning the crank on the machine with Sanchez's scrotum in place, thus wedging them solidly in the mechanism. Sanchez, who immediately passed his threshold of pain, collapsed and tumbled from his perch. Unfortunately for Sanchez, the height of the ball washer was more than a foot higher off the ground than his testicles are in a normal stance, and the scrotum was the weakest link. Sanchez's scrotum was ripped open during the fall, and one testicle was plucked from him forever and remained in the ball washer, while the other testicle was compressed and flattened as it was pulled between the housing of the washer, and the rotating machinery inside. To add insult to injury , Sanchez broke a new $300 driver that he had just purchased from the pro shop, and was using to balance himself. Sanchez was rushed to the hospital for surgery, and the remaining threesome were asked to leave the course.

We should care for our own fucking US states the way we care about that jewish country who hates us except for the diplomatic cover and our annual tribute payment. Seems the goal is to be as hated as much as israel is.

Interesting that the US is pushing this now.  Perhaps the timing is in response to this recent activity.

It says something about recent Sino-Japan relations that Premier Li Keqiang has just had a rare, ice-breaking meeting with a visiting Tokyo political figure. Since the frosty encounter between President Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on the sidelines of the Apec conference in Beijing in November, high-profile contacts have been few and far between. But signs of warming are mounting, including the resumption of parliamentary exchanges this month, a series of meetings to reduce the risk of territorial conflict in the East China Sea, more Chinese tourism to Japan and greater economic cooperation.

The United States cannot annihilate the Chinese nation with its small stack of atom bombs. Even if the U.S. atom bombs were so powerful that, when dropped on China, they would make a hole right through the earth, or even blow it up, that would hardly mean anything to the universe as a whole, though it might be a major event for the solar system. -Mao

China already shares a border with Vietnam so it isn't like this would up China's advantage.  As for the Philippines, it poses no threat to China except for hosting US forces and, with few resources and a rather disparate population and culture that is not linked to China, there is no reason for China to want to wield power against the Filipinos.

No, this is all China/US proxy shit.

I'll take umbrage with your WWII musings. Roosevelt wouldn't be a stooge for the bankster gangsters who helped put him in office. They thought we would go along with anything they wanted. Well, they were wrong. So wrong they had to try to stage a fascist coup, but General Smedley Butler put the kibosh to that idea.

So, the bankster gangsters and their industrial friends conjured up a war as his punishment for daring to care for and institute programs for the betterment of we, the people. And the rest, as they say, is history.

The Australian position is by far the worst of all in the growing American attempt to confront China. Australia has been congratulating itself on a booming economy, BUT much of that was commodities export to China and an artificial housing bubble. China does not HAVE to source it's coal, Iron and other minerals from Australia, it's just the closest fit with sea transport being cheap. BUT, if Washington's Zionists force Australia to join an anti China campaign, China could shut off Australia, and buy Brazilian, South African and Russian resources. Then the loud mouth American puppets in Canberra would be in deep shit! Australian has NO GOOD choices here. They feel that only the USA can guarnatee Australian security in the world with China rising. Yet they need China to have a viable economy. There simple is no good choice here, and Washington will react if they do not get what they want. Few people remember that many years ago, the CIA pulled off a Coup in Australia, putting their own man into power. The US simply demands all nations be vassal states. The war on Russia is for that reason, Russia is refusing to accept vassal status, and so in China.

The Chinese really don't want a conflict with the U.S. - at least not yet. They are very patient and deliberate in their preparations to progressively take their place on the global stage.

 

But if you push them, or rather corner them, all bets are off on that patience and forbearance. The U.S. will only succeed in rewriting China's calculations, making conflict between the two powers more likely, not less. The Chinese will conclude that if they don't act militarily, they'll be stuffed back into the proverbial bottle for decades. That would carry its own enormous cost for China.

 

So be very careful what you do and how far you push China, you paragons of wisdom in the Pentagon, State Dept. and White House....can you imagine World War in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and South China Sea with Russia-China and their allies on one side and the U.S., EU and Japan on the other, and the Middle East in total disarray without being able to figger out who's on what side there?

“Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death”.
– Adolph Hitler

“Why of course the people don’t want war … But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship … Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

Just remember, the most important thing is that China takes away premium currency supply power from the Anglozionist Empire. Without the power to print or digitally conjure whatever amount of currency units they desire (and with that currency units holding big purchasing power), the Empire is destined for collapse; and the death will come almost instantly. And with the death of Anglozionist Empire, finally we conquered lands can reclaim our sovereignity and start rebulding our countries in accordance to our cultural rules, beliefs and morals.

Besides, we are much more comfortable with Russians and Chinese than with Muricans. We have no desire to kill our own culture, race or ethnicity, Muricano! It took tens if not hundreds of thousands of years for our unique set of biological attributes to develop, you think we want to destroy ourselves... commit suicide, hm, Muricano? No. We would much rather kill you instead. If European Muricans want to destroy themselves by erasing their disctinctiveness, they are free to do so. We won't! So, you see, our very freedom and the future of our very race and various cultures, which also took very long time to become what they are today, depends on the death of that degenerate Anglozionist Empire! We naturally wish the threat to our existence to end!
