Nice try, though.

#2 Stupid headline for an article that basically describes a Chinese temper tantrum. In addition to the hostages and cutoff of trade in strategic metals the article mentions, they are also slow-walking customs inspections as part of an economic war to get Japan to fall in line with Chinese territorial claims.

Anyone notice today's tariffs on chicken imports from the US? There are other means to wage war over territory besides blue water navies.

#3 Despite Japan's release of the Chin fish boat Skipper fropm detainment, CHINA is still demanding a formal apology + compensation.
CHINA WANTS UNFETTERED ACCESS VEE "WARM WATER" PORTS INTO THE FAR PACIFIC + INDIAN OCEANS, + ULTIMATELY RESPECT + FEAR + FORMAL RECOGNITION AS A POST-US ASIAN + GLOBAL SUPERPOWER.

IT WANTS IT NOW, NOT IN YEAR 2080-2100 OR AFTER.

POTUS BAMMER = USA is facing a WHOLE BUNCH OR GEOPOL DANGEROUS "CHUTZPAH" 2010-2016 [Obama second term, iff any].

I'll say it again > THE MOST DANGEROUS PHASE OR ASPECTS, ETC. OF THE WOT [for OWG America = OWG Amerika] LIES AHEAD OF US, NOT BEHIND US. The ISLAMIST-MILITANT LOCAL, REGIONAL JIHADS, however seemingly disparate or differentiated, is asmuch a DEDICATED WAR FOR [Islamist]OWG-NWO AS EX-POTUS DUBYA'S GWOT in Iraq + AFPAK, etal.

#4 Anyone notice that there's suddenly talk of economic war now that a Taiwanese foundary is ramping up to produce a CPU for AMD?

I suspect that before now, China wasn't in a position to keep exporting laptops if they started an economic war with the parts of the world that made all the parts that went into the laptops they export. Maybe all the Bobcat and Zacate parts being sourced in Taiwan were the final pieces of the puzzle.

* PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > LAVROV: SINO-RUSSIAN RELATIONS AT ITS HIGHEST POINT EVER

IMO read, RUSS GIVING INDIR MILPOL WARNING TO US, JAPAN NOT TO START ANYTHING IN NORTH ASIA OER NORTH KOREA ["Cheonan" = ROK] + now DAOYUS.

* WAFF > [Guradian.UK]CHINA LAUNCHES MAJOR PUSH TO INVEST IN NORTH KOREA.

WAFF POSTER > opined that Chin [still] intends or prefers to KEEP THE TWO KOREAS DIVIDED, keep NORTH KOREA WEAK + as a PERM ECON DEPENDENCY OF CHINA, + for Beijing to de facto control DPRK's Nukes to use as PDENIABLE MIL HEDGE = COVERT "THIRD-PARTY COVER" AGZ US-ALLIES [Sub-read, DPRK to be destroyed first in war for any decisions made in Beijing]???

* WAFF > [Globalresearch.CA] AMERICA THREATENS RUSSIA, US CONSOLIDATES NEW MIL OUTPOSTS IN EASTERN EUROPE.

CHINESE MIL FORUM > [CPLA]MISSLE RE-DEPLOYMENT [from facing/threatening Taiwan] IS POSSIBLE, SAYS PRC PRESIDENT HU JINTAO.

* SAME > [Jamestown.org] AGING TIGERS, MIGHTY DRAGONS: CHINA'S BIFURCATED SURFACE FLEET.

ARTIC > CPLAN's "HI/LO MIX" of SURFACE WARFARE NAVAL VESSELS. CPLAN SWF stratified into TWO BROAD SUB-FLEETS, an OPER PREFERRED "HIGH CONFIDENCE FLEET" composed of China's most modern + oper reliable surface warship classes, + a "LIMITED CAPABILITY/CAPABILITIES" SWF composed of older andor less reliable surface warships. CHINA = CPLAN is moving steadily towards ULTIMATELY CLOSING/NARROWING THE TECHS + CAPABILTIES, ETC. GAPS EXISTING BETWEEN THE AFORESAME SUB-FLEETS.

* More from JAMESTWON.ORG > THE RYUKYUS CHAIN IN CHINA'S ISLAND STRATEGY.

Like a certain 1980's MTV Video, the CPLA = PLAN WANTS TO "BREAK OUT" from the confines of the FIRST ISLAND CHAIN into WESTPAC.

POSSIBLE PLA MIL SCENARIOS = includes option for Chinese mil takeover of MIYAKO ISLAND from Japan; or perhaps even the PLA CONQUEST OF THE ENTIRE RYUKYUS = OKINAWA CHAIN ONLY as separate from a PLA campaign agz mainland Japan proper???
