| #2 See also GUARDIAN.UK > BEIJING DEFENDS MISSLE DEPLOYMENTS IN SOUTH CHINA SEA AS NO DIFFERENT TO [Than] US DEFENCE OF HAWAII. Hawaii is a US State outside of Mainland CONUS, while China's new "Sansha/Sasha Province" in SCS is China's new sovereign offshore or maritime province = offshore sovereign territory of China. IOW, SCS = HAWAII = "CORE INTEREST" for their respective Govts-Nations. No mention of GUAM-CNMI = EXPENDABLE??? * WORLD NEWS > US URGES REGIONAL CHALLENGE TO CHINA'S CLAIMS IN SOUTH CHINA SEA. Nice, but AFAIK US Regional Allies want the US to take the lead agz Beijing. * SCOUT.COM > US [Army] MAY PUT WEAPONS IN SOUTH CHINA SEA, e.g. BMD-capable MT Mobile Arty. * REUTERS > CHINA SIGNALS NO SOUTH CHINA SEA BACKDOWN AS FOREIGN MINSTER [FM Wang Yi] HEADS TO US. * USNI.ORG > NEW POSSIBLE [high-frequency] CHINESE RADAR INSTALLATION ON ARTIFICIAL ISLAND [Cuarteron island] COULD PUT US STEALTH AIRCRAFT AT RISK. * SAME > [Military. com] NAVY: US MAY SAIL MORE SHIPS IN SCS, NAVY COMMANDER SAYS. USPACOM Chief USN ADM. Scott Swift. * STRAITS TIMES = ... > BEIJING STILL USING "MIGHT-MAKES-RIGHT" APPROACH. > CALLS FOR SOUTH KOREA TO TAKE NUCLEAR PATH. ROK CONSERVATIVES' CALL COMES AS MORE PEOPLE LOSE FAITH IN THE US TO DEFEND THEM FROM NORTH. * XINHUA > CHINA URGES US NOT TO SEND WRONG MESSAGE TO TAIWAN [Pro-]"INDEPENDENCE" FORCES. VERSUS * AMERICAN INTEREST > BEIJING HURRIES TO CASH IN ON PERCEIVED US [POTUS Obama?] WEAKNESS. BEIJING PLANS YEAR 2016 TO BE A BIG YEAR IN STRENGTHENING ITS MILITARY POSITION. * DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [The Diplomat] NEW SUBS [Russian "KILOS"] MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH FOR VIETNAM TO DEFEND ITS SOUTH CHINA SEA CLAIMS [agz China]. * SPUTNIK NEWS > CHINA MISSLES IN SOUTH CHINA SEA THREATENS US AIRCRAFT CARRIER DOMINANCE. * PINOY TIMES > SCS DISPUTE: PHILIPPINES COULD BE STAGING AREA FOR CHINESE MISSLES + AIRPOWER, CENTRAL BATTLEGROUND IN US-CHINA WEST SEA WAR. * INDIA TIMES > ECONOMIC TIMES: CHINA MILITARY PROVOCATION: IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR US TO KEEP SENDING SHIPS AND PLANES TO SOUTH CHINA SEA. * RELATED DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > JAPAN MARITIME [JMSDF] CHIEF TAKEI: US INDUSTRY, MILITARY KEY TO ADDRESSING WESTPAC SECURITY THREAT [pespec ala China]. JMSDF Chief ADM. Tomohisa Takei. YUUUP. Also good for helping to making sure the USA doesn't retreat or pullout of WESTPAC ergo the US won't have to sink Guam + other strategic Pacific Isloands in order to engage in "A2/AD" agz China + PLA. |
