#3 DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > FEARING CHINA, INDIA PULLS OUT OF WAR GAMES WID US, JAPAN [off Guam] - THE HINDUSTAN TIMES.

versus

* SAME > [PRC-Taiwan] VAST MAJORITY FAVOR JOINT ACTION [agz Philippines for Fisherman shooting] -GLOBAL TIMES.CN.

2-agz-1 EEZ Wars.

D *** NG IT, FERGIT THE "MUSUDANS", ITS THE FISHIES THAT ARE GONNA GET US ALL!

* SAME > VIDEO: CHINA STATE TV CLAIMS PHILIPPINES AS CHINESE TERRITORY.

Yokay, I'll say it - OH MY!?

* INDIAN DEFENCE FORUM > NORTH KOREA SLAMS US AIRCRAFT CARRIER'S ARRIVAL IN SOUTH KOREA. USS Nimitz.

Well, well, looks like the "MIGHTY/HOLY GEORGE" US CVN is no longer alone as the DPRK = SSSHHHH China's target???

* CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > LOOKS THE PLA IS NOT AS GOOD AS THEY THINK THEY ARE? | [Jamestown.org = China Brief] THE "TWO INCOMPATIBLES" + PLA SELF-ASSESSMENTS OF MILITARY CAPABILITY, or lack of same, as seemingly held in view by many widin China's Govt-Party power circles + institutions.

* CHINA DAILY FORUM > CHINA IS PROVOKING WAR WID JAPAN IN LOUDSPEAKER CAR IN OKINAWA.

Road Activists vowing that China + PLA will liberate Okinawa at the same time it liberates the Diaoyus [Senkakus] from Japan.

* SAME > CHINA, TAIWAN PROTEST FATAL SHOOTING OF FISHERMAN BY PHILIPPINES - LA TIMES.

Beijing = mainland China threatens to increase PLA naval, military presence in disputed waters between Taiwan + Northern Philippines.

Another reason for the Motherly Commie/PLA Airborne to invade the Northern Philippines, besides challenging the USN + "Nimitz"-class CVBGS OTH = "Over-The-Horizon" ASAP AMAP AFAP ALAP from the East China Sea into WESTPAC, etc.
instead of waiting for intervening US forces to arrive in-theater.

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > THE "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN" CONTAINS/ISOLATES CHINA: A PROPER INTERPOLATION OF THE RYUKYUS' [Okinawa Archipelago] SIGNIFICANCE TO MILITARY STRATEGY IS THE ALTERATION OF THE BALANCE OF POWER IN NORTHEAST + EAST ASIA. CONTROL OF THE RYUKYUS/OKINAWA GIVES CHINA THE ABILITY TO DEPLOY MORE PLA TROOPS + MILITARY ASSETS TO GUAM BASE + "SECOND ISLAND CHAIN".

Lest we fergit, Beijing supports both a formal return of Okinawa to China, i.e. the Okinawa Archipelago aka any + all islands off the coast of mainland southern Japan extending to Taiwan + includ Okinawa proper; as well indigenous Okinawa independence or autonomy from Tokyo/
Japan where China + PLA have de facto Trade + Base Rights wid same.
