In Dramatic Escalation, China Sends Five Navy Ships Off Alaska Coast For First Time Ever
Just as China celebrates the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II with an extravagant parade designed to showcase the country’s military prowess and project Xi Jinping’s power to nervous onlookers in the West, the Pentagon says it has spotted five Chinese Navy ships in the Bering Sea, just off the coast of Alaska.
Here’s WSJ:
Five Chinese navy ships are currently operating in the Bering Sea, off the coast of Alaska, the first time the U.S. military has seen such activity in the area, Pentagon officials said Wednesday.
The officials said they have been aware in recent days that three Chinese combat ships, a replenishment vessel and an amphibious ship were in the vicinity after observing them moving toward the Aleutian Islands, which are split between U.S. and Russian control.
They said the Chinese ships were still in the area, but declined to specify when the vessels were first spotted or how far they were from the coast of Alaska.
The Pentagon official said there were a “variety of opinions” on how to interpret the Chinese ships’ deployment.
“It’s difficult to tell exactly, but it indicates some interest in the Arctic region,” the official said. “It’s different.”
"Different" indeed, as in "uprecedented", and while we won’t endeavor to jump to conclusions, we would note that the PLA hasn’t exactly been shy when it comes to challenging the US from a maritime perspective of late and of course, the US has had its ships and carriers to the east and south of China for decades, so it would appear that Xi is intent on giving Washington a taste of its own medicine.
But don't worry, the Commander in Chief is on the scene - literally.
Finally, what better diversion from its crashing stock market on its national military holiday than for China to invade the US?

The police manhunt, the MTV VMA's, and this are nothing more than distractions and I do believe most of us understand that. I hope.
Obama and Palin better start loading up with bags of rocks
BTW, is he hiding a doobie in his hand?
What a slap in America's face but our CinC (Chicken in Chief) has no clue. Glaciers are more important to him but he knows no history that glaciers have been receding for 100's of years, CO2 levels are lower now then 20 years go, that billions of dollars in research grants create their own problems, and that "hot air" science is a myth except in Washington DC (which s full of it). Go back to Kenya where you belong and leave the American people alone. Although after your last trip there, they do not want you either. On second thought, the Chinese ships may be there to ensure you do not try to go to China??!!
No clue of what?
A coordinated effort?
Wake TFU
"I'll have more flexibilty after the election."
EOR
They're on the hunt for malicious short sellers
They are just looking to build some sand Islands again....some Rand R for the crews
Are there any coral reefs in the Aleutians?
No but bear gallbladder is worth more than those pet rocks WSJ likes to mock.
If WWIII goes down the arctic would be expected to be a major contention because the world isn't going to be awash in liquid fossil fuels as everybody has come to be conditioned to believe. The shale boom wasn't engineered to provide oil it was engineered to provide cash from a ponzi scheme. If there are oil and gas reserves in the arctic that have even reasonable EROEI then people will be clawing over eachother to secure it. This is also why China is lending money to Venezuela to hold off the IMF.
Rather ironic considering all of the panic about carbon and dying polar bears that that place may end up being a major battle ground. Can't wait to see how they spin this.
China has also said it wants to be in the negotiations among the nations that ring the Arctic Ocean - even though it has no frontage there. It is trying to shoehorn its way into the group. Could this little parade off the Aleutians be a signal that we should expect the sight of Chinese ships to be the new normal?
"Could this little parade off the Aleutians be a signal that we should expect the sight of Chinese ships to be the new normal?"
I would say absolutely. I figure it is quid pro quo, Russia needs China's help to survive the US's aggression and China needs the resources down the road. They may be bracing for something as well being that Obama has been sneaking around Alaska.
Tomorrow is China's Z-Day parade also. Should be interesting.
Hope there are no big chemical storage facilities in Alaska.
Any big parking lots for channel stuffed cars in Alaska?
Its an ongoing continuation after that recent chem plant explosion.
China V-day parade: One of them is the Dong Feng-21D (DF-21D) antiaircraft-carrier medium-range ballistic nuclear missile, capable of engaging a moving target out at sea with the help of the Yaogan satellite constellation, delivered to orbit in 2006-2014. China's ‘Carrier-Killer’ has an alleged range of up to 2,000km and could be armed with either conventional explosives or a 300 Kt nuclear warhead.
Another missile expected to be on display on Thursday is the newest medium-range ballistic nuclear missile, the Dong Feng-26 (DF-26), a development from the DF-21. With a range of 3,500km it can reach foreign military bases, such as the island of Guam in the Pacific.
Also, Beijing is likely to present its newest strategic ballistic missile, the DF-5, which has an intercontinental range of 12,000km and could be armed either with a single, yet extensively powerful, 5 Mt nuclear warhead, or with 10-12 less powerful independently targetable warheads.
Too bad the "home" button on those warheads will break before they are paid for.
I think "Reset" with China is going to mean something a little different.
While this is a disconcerting development, the bigger picture reveals a bit of humor. That is, Zion stole the west, especially the American country, but forfeited title to much of it to the east.
Or put another way, the strife between the Zion controlled west, and the east, comes down to whether Zion will honor or renege on the east's ownership claims to parts of the west. Zion is anathema to "honor," so I would place my bets with "renege.".
Zion is a scheme, not an ethnicity..
To understand Zion, one must realize that Zion is a hidden fifth-column colonizer, plunderer, and exploiter of countries and peoples--parasites in our societies' bowels and brains. Comparatively, it would be as if a syndicate the size of Hong Kong had secretly colonized and come to control China, and then much of the rest of Asia.
I love to see China put a few hundred megaton nukes on Israel.
I always forget the names. This list is missing a lot of stuff. I believe David Rockefeller was a Spy, Oil, Foundation Chairman, Banker, International Financier, Government Arm, and Diplomat(Unofficial)...
- The term robber baron derives from the medieval German lords who charged nominally illegal tolls (tolls unauthorized by the Holy Roman Emperor) on the primitive roads crossing their lands[4] or the larger tolls on ships traversing the Rhine[4]—all such actions without adding anything of value,[4] (see robber baron) but instead lining one's pockets to the detriment (added costs) of the common good.

Since the 1970s-80s, one should also add a few Canadians, Aussies, oil emirates, Hong Kong, and Japanese to the list.
Anglo-American empire's war with China is part of a longstanding, well-planned, global business strategy.
The new generation of PLA generals in Beijing are eager to establish their credibility and legitimacy by flexing their muscles in the Pacific.
The Anglo-American-NATO imperial military would love China to take the bait as a response to the "Pivot to Asia".
The threat from the "Yellow Peril" is good marketing for the business of empire: war.
I love to see China take out Shemya Island (home of RC-135's from Offutt) and also HAAARP
While the Chinese PLA generals take the bait in the eastern Pacific, I'm more interested to see if Eugenie Bouchard can redeem herself at the US Open after what has been a disappointing season for her and her many young (and not-so-young like yours truly), male fans.
Eugenie, Eugenie!
#Chineselivesmatter ?
With any luck its a kidnapping operation. No ransom paid to you china......
Confucius say: "When economy sucks, divert citizen attention with war".
Doesn't say much for the state of the Chinese economy, does it?
The real reason the Chinese are there is to dispatch a sub to pick up the Manchurian Candidate, Obomba/Obummer, to debrief him on China's plans to invade the US via the safehaven port of San Francisco, where most of the inhabitants are high on Mary Jane and techno-utopian, Social-Mania and Silly-Con Valley delusions of grandeur, including Moon and Mars colonization, and eventually joining with our brothers and sisters inhabiting the Rings of Uranus.
The friends of the friends of our enemy are us.
Sounds reasonable
Naaah, they're just on their way to Seattle, to be the first to buy those tickets for Neocon Version 2.0, otherwise known as Caitlyn transJenner, or trangendered neocons:

Russia and China teaming up to expoit natural resources in the arctic? They might as well establish it now while president mom jeans remains in office.
Native Americans are the decendants of Chinese Han who travelled over the frozen Barring Sea to settle the Americas 10,000s of years ago. As such, China should claim the Americas.
roberto, all is fair in hate and war . . . and karma.
How do we know Han aren't the decedent's of native Americans and all of China is therefore American territory?
They are, and it is.
Anthropologists say that Native Americans are the most genetically homogenous group on the planet.
They have the least variation, because they are the original people.
But ,but ,but, I thought the world was 6000 years old and started with a Garden of Eden and Jews were the first human beings?
I wonder if Sarah Palin can see them?
She never said it, was only SNL. You're about the 20th person to say the same thing. It's still funny tho'.
She's far sighted, she can only see Russia...
Maybe these Chinese ships are what Jeb Bush has been talking about all day… in Spanish.
Escalation... ain't just a happy Eskimo on a new snowmobile.
WArs are usually about energy......
Watch this short video. It explains in ways that a 7th grader could understand what happens in each case of:
1) Do nothing (i.e. keep being a slave to the electric industry)
2) Lease Solar PV from a company
3) Buy Solar PV outright, using your own money, or a loan

Any insurance against hail storms?
How about the wiring igniting your house?
It's funny how the US can bully around the entire planets oceans and everybodies coastlines and that's just fine but if China or Russia moves anywhere it is....OH THE HORROR!!!!! Imagine if Russia or China had the nerve to tell other countries that they couldn't fly over their own airspace, people would be scandalized.
It is funny. Looks like we won.
We won in 1945.
It's been ours ever since.
you won shit idiot
It's all our turf.
Can you dig it?
That picture is Obama in Hawaii only they photoshopped the lava flow to white from bright red.
Obama has never been in Hawaii.
Bring it!
I have owned multiple products made in China, so I know. Those ship's lithium ion battery packs will be all ballooned up in a year. The props will be all banged up, and the plastic will become embrittled from UV exposure. And China SUCKS at making good, durable, connectors.
We will be fishing Chinese boys out of the water, draining our maritime rescue resources, as China has always planned. Connect the God damn dots.
If WWIII went down full scale It is hard to imagine that there would be any boats in the water after a few weeks, subs maybe.
Americans are ''legends in their own minds''. Most of your miltary is too STUPID to know what to do.
Funny, you defending Chinese technology, you double posting water-headed double poster.
Go piss off AmeriNazi trash.
Haha. AmeriNazi, Americunt... Good stuff.
Stop fucking double posting.
Americans are ''legends in their own minds''. Most of your miltary is too STUPID to know what to do.
How would you measure one's military might? I suggest you look at spending and innovation. Or maybe expansion and presence. How many military bases does China have outside China?
Dummy, America is a war based economy, it's what we do. We make the shit, keep the good stuff, and sell the rest. We love developing new ways to take people's shit, with force.
But you can't defeat a bunch of goat herders in 13 years.
Your military crap is over engineered with all kinds of systems that break down.
I have been on both sides of the fence, (in US military and worked on Russian equipment). so don't try and bullshit me.
Why the fuck would we want to defeat them? Bad for business.
Stop fucking double posting.
Its the Parkinson's setting in....too many years de-icing airplane wings...
Fuck, man. You can't even do a handle right. What the fuck is an AlfredNeumann? Found this E, is it yours? You're just a double posting fail factory. Pathetic. 'Other country' says, stop helping, we got this.
You are a pathetic know nothing shithead Americunt. PERIOD

Spending is no means to judge it douche. In Innovation terms yes US leads still but that gap is closing in and with cyberthefts for sure it's going rapidly . What you call expansion or presence isn't army might but simply invasion . Military is meant to protect its own borders so having presence in other nations is simply called invasion ans suppression what brits used to do . Anglosaxons afterall can't learn their lesson. Your good stuff is shit actually and your economy is pure trash and threatening eg ZIRP and NIRP .
Got it cunt ?
As you are the product of service in our military, you may be on to something there....
Or you're just the only stupid example....
Now go enjoy your Sterno for desert.
Hey Dumbo. China ships the cheap crap to you idiot Americunts who will buy anything.
They make some very good stuff but morons like you wouldn't know.
Naughty. Pff, take a close look at consumer electronics made for the CHINESE consumer, total garbage, the worst. The only good stuff they make, they stole, or we oversee the production of. China IS NOT INNOVATIVE, and remains a third world country, in all ways.
Listen up, dipshit. I lived in the USA for 35 years and now 26 years in Europe. I have seen more innovation here in 26 years than all the 35 years I lived in the USA
FYI The WWW was invented by a European , NOT an American
Not to mention the automobile which was invented HERE.
You don't know jack shit about China. I have 2 Chinese built electric scoooters that are 10 years old and not one problem with them. The Lion battery packs have over 800 charges on them and still going strong.
As I said, they ship the cheap crap to the USA. Just like German cars built for US market are de Tuned and softly sprung for your shitty roads and low speed limits.
Get a clue, son
You have 2 Chinese built electric scoooters(sic)?
That's a brave admission, son.
You really are clueless about Chinese products. As I stated Dumbo they send the crap stuff to you FATASS imbeciles.
So do you actually ride the scooters around, like in the daylight? You don't, like... ride them in front of people, do you? Where do live? Is that kind of thing OK there? Well, like I said, you are already pretty brave in my book.
Jesus fucking Christ. You really are ignorant. We have more scooters and bikes here than cars.
Get a clue you ignorant son of a bitch.
Oh. We have cars. Fucking tons of them. Drive them all over. Man, do we have some cars. Old ones, super fast ones, just about any car you can imagine. Oh, and vans, with like luxury houses inside. It's crazy, and they are like nearly free, because people are always buying new ones. It's great.
Seeing as you have never been outside of your COUNTY much less COUNTRY you wouldn't know that we 21st century infrastructure here with bike and scooter paths parralelling all our roads and autobahns.
You like to make fun of bike riders and we laugh at your OBESE cocksuckers in your UGLY fucking trucks .
You would change your tune real quick of you saw all the hot chicks here everyday riding bikes and scooters
BTW, fuckhead, the People of Walmart are the average lookign American including your FATASS CUNT mother, sister and wife.
I bet you go through a lot of flour to roll them in to find the wet spot when you want to stick your 9mm peepee in their pussy.
Haha. Oh, that's rad. Do another one!
/yesss, yesss
Man, this is my first day here at ZH, and I can tell I'm going to absolutely love it. I'm immediately feeling at home. Thanks for having me, folks.
Hey, Dutchboy is great fun.
I won a 20 dollar bet that I could get him to say "Fucktard" and "Americunt".
Everyone in the office is amazed at how easy it is to make him erupt.

WWW wasn't an invention, you halfwitted simpleton, it was a convention, an agreement, and van Jacobson was responsible for HTTP, TCP/IP from an American (was it Metcalfe ??), Jon Postel a bunch of stuff, that HTML was a subset of IBM's public domained SGML --- you don't know what the fook you are talking about, douchetard.
It was Metcalf, but he always gave credit to Gore. After all, there were certain basic AlGorithms that continue to be used to this day.

If you are in your 60's there is something wrong with you
I bought a chinese made 1 cylindr diesel engine and an ST generator head. Took the engine apart to make sure there was no casting sand left on the innards and it was pretty clean. I did have to adjust the rocker arms to get them square on the valve stem tips. The ST winding connections and brush holders were out of wack too, but those too were easy to align. I changed the ST bearings to NTN sealed units and all is fine. Ran a solid week during Hurricane Ike with no problems. Its solid, the assembly probably weighs 500lbs.
I think the things were assembled by amatuers, but otherwise I think ok.
I'd still rather have a lincoln then you can weld and gen for at least 50 years.
Hitler called Switzerland the porucpine.
Everybody was armed and trained, many were accurate sharpshooters.
So, China is going to invade the U.S? That would be pure suicide, as the U.S. has the largest armed civilian population in the world.
Maybe this comment was humor?
Finally, what better diversion from its crashing stock market on its national military holiday than for China to invade the US?
I'm pretty sure we have a bunch of stuff floating around in space that prevents ANYONE from doing shit. Kinetic orbital strike type stuff. Those NASA "X-37B Orbital Test Vehicles" were probably dropping off huge metal bullets that will fuck you up, and cannot be shot down.
China ain't doin' shit, but maybe asking us for food, water, and oxygen... in the coming decades that America continues to be the meanest fucking country this stinking orb has ever done seen. Bring it, China, little bitch!
One of Obola's ass boys who cheers on Trayvon thugs playing college or pro ball like other dumb white American males. They cheer on their own genocide.
Not me, I'm in with Charley. When Helter Skelter comes, we will be in a volcano, and when we come out, the Blacks will treat us like gods. And, dummy, I'm about as far from an Obama, and sport that doesn't happen in a cage, fan, as you can get.
If China were really dumb enough to think they could just march in without having to deal with the US population why start way up in Alaska? Why not just wade into Los Angeles? Good luck dealing with 'that' crowd! And 'if' they did invade Alaska... then what? March through Canada and invade Idaho? Good luck with that one too because Canadians aren't going take that shit lying down either.
No, this certainly isn't any form of escalation. China has every right to give a little demonstration just like the USA has done all over the world, every god damned day since the end of WWII. I don't like it any more than Americans do, but really, I can't find it in myself to cast stones at China for this one. It sure doesn't scare me any.
No one wants to invade your crappy country that you think is so 'great'. NO ONE.
Only Mexicans
Have another shot of hand sanitizer there DB2015, then chase it with your bong water.
Not bong water, drano.

Totally brainwashed idiots
Nice avatar. Is that your life partner?
The South was right!
Fucktard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally brainwashed idiots
Man, you got it all wrong (like typical gun nut morons).
Hitler didn't invade Switzerland because of the terrain and it wouldn't gain him anything
Hitler attacked Rotterdam for the harbour .
BTW, dipshit. here is some info for your.
Yes, Swiss are armed but the ammo is all marked with that persons ID and is kept in an armory. NO ammo in the home.
Now you know the real story.
I live in Europe and have friends in Zurich who I visit often .
Yes Dutchboy2015, we all know your story....
Better brush up on your Arabic. You're gonna need it sooner rather than later.
hahaaha, you truly are brainwashed. Where do you get your nutty ideas? Oh Yes, from FOXCNNABCCBSNBC.
IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!
Anybody with a Lee load all can handload rounds.
stay the fuck in Europe
Not an escalation.
This kind of thing is standard procedure for national governments to send a message. The US, Europeans, Russia, and most Asian republics do the same thing all the time... the smaller countries ask the larger ones to do it for them.
China is saying, "My markets are in trouble. Don't take advantage of me or there will be consequences."
And Also, "LOOK AT MY WING-SPAN AND BE AWED!!! See how big I have grown since Nixon? I can shake a stick at you by my self now, without Soviet backing!! Aren't you proud of me?"
And if you're expecting anything more nuanced from a Nation-State's government than you'd see on any Grammar School playground, then they've really gotten you wrapped about their thumbs, haven't they?
duuuude, this is three boys and a puppy playing hookie.
The Chinese ships are harmless; just showing us they can project a presence too...
What you want to watch is Washington.
We need to be sure THEY don't claim something untrue to justify "sanctions "...or worse.
We have a habit of making shit up, ya know...
...that often leads to much bigger shit later.

The picture of barry at the top of the article is a complete photoshopped fake. I can prove it because he isn't holding a golf club.
Errr... OK, at the risk of asking the obvious... What, exactly, is being "dramatically escalated?"
Aside from Tyler's usual hyperbole, of course.
Ya Ya they're warships.......definitely not fishing boats.
Maybe they're heavily armed fishing boats.
there pumping up their gdp, using cheap fuel so the citizens can buy more goods.

they knew where these ships were headed at least a week, ago, stocks are up, good time to use up this headline.
Pretty pic, five ships, all lined up, sunny day, level flying aircraft, 'just off the coast of Alaska', maybe 'off the coast of Alsaka', maybe in international waters, may even be Chink, who knows? Next.
Yepper.
In this age of image fakery and slight-of-hand at every turn, who can say what is real without direct, first person evidence?
Perhaps they are there on their way down to BC to pick up the soon-to-be refugees running away from angry Canucks and the inevitable RE crash which they began?
Pleasure craft.
deadliest catch must be on chinese cable tv or youtube. they are just checking out the story.
maybe russia wants to reclaim alaska and china is just checking out logistics for a support mission.
That's what I was thinking. They're after opilios and halibut. The Northwestern better look out.
I sure hope the Chinese don't run into one of those rare exploding icebergs they have up there.
Seize all assets in USA owned by chinese nationals and corporations. Pay off US debt and prevent the govt from ever borrowing again.
Oops. I think the US has more assets in China than China has in US. Think the investment in electronics: the iphone, and everything else electronic, and all the US companies making virtually all tools, hardware, clothes now in China, and every conceivable nickel and dime household whimdiddy. You can't buy a thing off the shelf in either Blowes or the Homely Depot that doesn't have "Made in China" stamped on it. Maybe we still make toilet paper here, but that's about it.
So all China has to do is nationalize everything and kick out the FATASS fucktard Americunts.
Jobs galore for Americans again. but I doubt now they are smart enough to build a washing machine

Most of the real estate activity causing higher prices has been by green cards issued to Chinese. Just wait till they get 65 and come here for benefits. I know, 40 quarters for social security but DONT BELIEVE for a minute thats all that is offered---why are there 20 million undocumenteds here.
Sniffing out Obama's late summer glacier water collection to supply California draught.
If Obama returns to Alaska in late December 2015 thru March 2016. Ice picks will be needed to ship densified water. Better known as Ice.
This is intended to be a personal thumb to the nose for Obomber, being as he is in Alaska,.
See below.
I may be a dummy but ... how did the Chinese defeat the Japanese? Before Pearl Harbor, we were bombing Japanese supply lines in China to HELP the Chinese. We also had a naval blockade around Japan (why do you think they went after Pearl Harbor).
Chinese ships around Alaska in international waters---no big deal--they are just scoping out the next place to build islands.
And as far as the presidential photo--Where in the hell are Grizzlies when you need one?
You can't make this shit up with POTUS Banana Republic clan.
Obama to propose building of new icebreakers to ...
Well, some might say it's about fucking time, what with the Russkies having 41 icebreakers, 7 of them nuclear.
you want provocation? you want pentagon shit it's pants..we got that in 2010..

I have a better idea. Why don't we all just meet for a beer at the White House?
They will be lucky to make it back to land with the way they build maritime vessels (and just about everything else for that matter).
They send the cheaply made crap to dumb Americans who buy anything just for shits and giggles.
So, dumbo, everything you see made in China is crap because ONLY morons would buy crap.
But Eurotrash are all broke assed.
You know, liberals don't FART because they don't want to hurt the earth by adding to the human-caused global warming. They don't BELCH either, for the same reason.
So these simple facts explain why they are so FULL OF IT! Because they're so backed-up with gas and hot air that they can't do anything but spew it every time they open their friggin' mouths...
Let's enhance and extend this P/R photo-op and put the pervericator-in-chief on a fastboat and film him challenging the Chinese naval task force....
"Wristen to me, arr you China-bastards! Leemove these destloyers and other ships at once! Or erse I'm coming to ray siege and dlop big bombs on you!"
Do other countries announce when the US ships show up.
China did, when we harassed those big sandcastles they built in the South China Sea.
Escalation? China doesnt even have Aircraft Carriers, besides why would China want that Shithole Alaska
Aside from that, it's been a long time since the Chinese toured about. Heck, the US has been doing it for decades. Why not the rest of the world with a navy? Maybe the Alaskan capitalists can float out to meet them with hot dog and sandwich boats.
not too long: http://news.usni.org/2014/07/18/china-sends-uninvited-spy-ship-rimpac
China slipped an uninvited guest into the world’s largest naval exercise.
The U.S. invited four ships from China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) to the Rim of the Pacific 2014 exercise — a move that was hailed as a sign of improved military-to-military relations between the two countries.
But China also sent an electronic surveillance ship designed to monitor signals from the ships, right to the edges of the exercise.
"Surprise is the public face of a mind that has been closed.”
“Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.” The Art of War
Aircraft carriers are passe. China could take out the whole fleet within days.
Missiles are the in thing.
Yes. Remember that Chinese sub that floated up in the middle of a USS carrier fleet a number of years ago. Or the silent sub they developed. Or how about the Chinese sub that launched that missile off the California coast a few years back that then landed in the China Sea? Pentagram is decades behind.

They should 'Nuke' them immediately and possibly obliterate the monkey ib chief at the same time - That wouuld solve a lot of problems
We'll ship the Obama monkey's on vaction to Alaska in February 2016. He can give up a new photo update.
