Chinese Navy Makes Rare Port Call in N.Korea
2011-08-05
Two Chinese naval vessels have docked in North Korea for a rare goodwill visit marking 50 years of friendship between the two countries.

Associated Press television footage showed North Korean people lining the dock at the port of Wonsan on Thursday for the arrival of the training ship Zheng He and the frigate Luoyang. mThe Chinese vessels traveled to North Korea from the Russian city of Vladivostok, where they participated in celebrations marking the 315th anniversary of the Russian navy.

#4  Sure, LOTP, see a Provisional Translation" in PDF at www.mod.go.jp/e/publ/w paper/2011.html.

* ION PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > HAS THE PHILIPPINES UNDERSTOOD CHINESE [veiled = subtle] SIGNAL OF WAR?, as per the Spratly [Nansha] + Paracel {Xisha] Islands in South China Seas???

ARTIC > Beijing is politely trying hard NOT to say that it will resort to MILITARY MEANS/FORCE to unliterally enforce its claims, rights of sovereignty in the SCS, CHINA'S DESIRE FOR RESOLUTION VIA DIPLOAMCY DOES N-O-T MEAN IT WILL TOLERATE ON-GOING PHILIPPINE MIL CONTRUCTION OR FACILITIES IN THE SPRATLYS + PARACELS.

* FREEREPUBLIC > JAPAN SHOULD CONDUCT COMPUTER SIMULATIONS ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS: ISHIHARA (JAPAN GOING NUCLEAR), as Nippon already has the Hi-Techs + espec "lots" of Plutonium.

[Mid-1970's SIX MILYUHN DOLLAR MAN = "WE CAN REBUILD HIM ... WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY ...
BETTER, STRONGER, FASTER" here].

* WORLD MIL FORUM > DPRK KCNA MEDIA: NORTH KOREA WARNS IT WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY EXTENSION OF SOVEREIGNTY OR ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROL BY JAPAN OVER THE DOKKDO ISLES OR ANY OTHER KOREAN TERRITORIES. MALICIOUS INTENTIONS BY US + NOW JAPAN [territorial, other]VALIDATES NORTH KOREA'S DEVELOPMENT OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

* SAME > PURSUING THE TIGERS OF WAR: CHINA CANNOT BE A TRUE ASIAN + GLOBAL SUPERPOWER IFF IT BECOMES THE "STRATEGIC REAR" OF A STRONG JAPAN IN EAST ASIA. THE BARRIERS OF THE "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN", ESPEC IN NE ASIA [Japan-Koreas-Taiwan], MUST BE BROKEN EVEN VIA BY REGIONAL WAR IFF NECESSARY.

* SAME > WORLD GOLD COUNCIL: CHINA'S GOLD RESERVES OF 1054 TONNES IS ONLY ONE-EIGHTH [1/8th] THAT OF THE US. US GOLD RESERVES COMPRISES 74.1% OF TOTAL WORLD RESERVES.

D *** NG IT, "74.1%" + YET WE NEEDED A DEBT DEAL???
