#2 See also RELATED GUARDIAN.UK > CHINA BLASTS US FOR ASIA-PACIFIC MILITARY BUILDUP.

ARTIC > PLA DAILY > CHINA DEFENCE "WHITE PAPER" = notes that China needs to beef up = strengthen its defenses agz a West seemingly intent on undermining it, West continues to use a strategy of trying to modernize China while also simul trying to destabilize + break it up???

AGAIN, AS PER THE LATEST NOKOR/DPRK CRISIS, ITS CHINA THAT HAS BEEN MOBILIZING ITS MIL ASSETS, NOT NOKOR.

IMO the NOKOR Crisis heralds the begining of "post-US", "Mahanist" China's challenge to US Power-n-Influence in East Asia or Asia - Pacific, albeit indirectly or by "proxy/
surrogate" at present. HOWEVER, IFF NOTHING CHANGES CHINA WILL STEADILY BEGIN LINEARLY PUTTING THE PLA + ANTI-US NUCLEAR BRINKMANSHIP, ETC. IN THE FOREFRONT OF SINO-US CONFRONTATION IN LIEU OF PROXY NORTH KOREA.

IOW, where Rising China's strategic interests are concerned NOKOR/DPRK's KJU's war rants is just for starters = "testing'feeling" the Bammer + Debt-Sequester-ridden US' response for when China is finally ready to begin the shooting war that must occur.

Iff one believes that POTUS Bammer is a de facto anti-US Lefty Marxist-Anarchist-Globalist, then the best time for China + Iran to "push the envelope" in regards to achieveing + entrenching their particular National + Geopol agendums is NOW, ASAP AMAP ALAP during a Bammer 2nd term, not after Jan. 2017 wid a new US POTUS in office.
