#1 And a spokesman for the Chinese defense ministry, Senior Col. Yang Yujun, said Saturday's move and ones like it are "very unprofessional and irresponsible in terms of the safety of troops on both sides."

You mean, like the Hainan Island incident?

#2 The "WILBUR" appears to had stayed just outside the 12-nm limits of China's claimed island, which IMO effectively means that SSSHHH ... CCCCC thanks once again to Anti-US US OWG Globalist POTUS Obama China will have any time or extra time it needs to complete any + all of its new Airstrips on the various Disputed-but-China-Occupied SCS islands [Spratlys + Paracels].

ALL THINGS EQUAL, IMO AGAIN THIS IS COVERTLY DEVOL INTO BEING ABOUT WHAT TRANSIT ROUTES WILL BE ALLOWED [Taxed?] BY MAINLAND CHINA = BEIJING FOR USE BY INTERNATIONAL NAVIES, COMMERCIAL CARRIERS THROUGH MAINLAND CHINA'S SOVEREIGN OFFSHORE/MARITIME PROVINCE FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE SCS.

Beijing is getting its way - again, China = Beijing is unlikely to respond just yet wid military force agz the US incursions unless the USN, etc. starts violating the 12-nm limits + transits closer to China's claimed islands.

FYI AS PER DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS + OTHER, ALL OF CHINA'S NEW AIRSTRIPS ARE EXPECTED TO COMPLETED BEFORE OR BY EARLY SUMMER 2016, AFTER WHICH BEIJING IS EXPECTED TO DEPLOY PLAAF + OTHER MIL ASSETS TO THE ISLANDS.

Iff the Bammer is truly serious about halting China's construction activities + upholding US-specific credibility to our Regional Allies in East Asia, then he must be willing to order the US Navy-DOD in closer than 12-nms to China's claimed islands EVEN IFF IT MEANS RISKING DE FACTO MILITARY CONFRONTATION WID BEIJING.

I remind again that, "short-of-war" or losing a Mil Conflict = OWG Globalist "Limited War" agz China, the best thing ANti-US US OWG Globalist POTUS Obama can do to unilaterally empower the rise of Co-Superpower China in East Asia-Pacific/WESTPAC is for the US NOT to live up or adhere to its Mutual Defense-Security treaty obligations or mandates wid Regional Allies, angering same + inducing or inspiring same to abandon the US + join Beijing's camp.

PRAY HARD + KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED BECAUSE THE BAMMER IS FORCING THE US [+ West] TO WALK ON A VERY THIN, DANGEROUS, + POTENTIALLY EXISTENTIAL TRIPWIRE(S) OR "SLIPPERY SLOPE(S)" IN THE NAME OF OWG-NWO + US-GLOBAL SOCIALIST ORDER.

#5 More this Guam AM ...

* WASHINGTON FREE BEACON > US PENTAGON CLAIMS WARSHIP PASSAGE NEAR DISPUTED ISLAND, CHINA CLAIMS US DESTROYER WAS "DRIVEN OFF".

* WORLD NEWS > [SCMP] CHINA URGED [by PLA Officials-Commanders] TO GET TOUGH WID US OVER USS "CURTIS WILBUR" SAIL-BY OF TRITON ISLAND IN DISPUTED SOUTYH CHINA SEA.

Warnings + Diplomatic rebukes agz the US by China taint enuff for some PLA Top Eggs.

* SAME > [SCMP] PLA GARRISON "WARNS OFF" US DESTROYER SAILING CLOSE TO ISLAND IN DISPUTED WATERS OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.

Sniff, sniff, JUST LIKE IRAN???

* HUDSON.ORG@TWITTER = IT IS SUGGESTED THAT CHINA COULD BE PREPARING TO INITIATE A SHORT MILITARY CONFLICT [Limited War] IN THE EAST CHINA SEA OVER SNEKAKU ISLANDS | [WSJ.com]BEIJING'S NEXT GAMBIT, THE EAST CHINA SEA.

Intimidating Tokyo + isolating the Taiwan battlefield/theater from the US.

* JAPAN NEWS@TWITTER = CHINA REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE THE SOVEREIGNTY OF JAPAN OVER THE SENKAKUS + OKINAWA [Ryukyus].

* RELATED = ...
> CHINA DAILY = CHINA DRIVES OFF US WARSHIP [USS "Curts Wilbur"] INTRUDING IN XISHA [Paracels] ISLANDS WATERS.

VERSUS

* JAPAN TIMES > US URGED JAPAN TO CONSULT WID CHINA BEFORE 2012 SENKAKUS PURCHASE.

Various Netters includ TwitPerts/Heads are interpreting "Japan should've consulted wid China on the Senkakus" as the OBAMA ADMIN WANTING JAPAN TO KOWTOW = SURRENDER LIKE FRANCE TO CHINA ON THE SENKAKUS ISSUE.

YOOHOO, SWEET CAROLINE KENNEDY, YOU'RE STILL UP AT BAT!

We'll see soon enuff how long XI JINPING can hold off PLA demands for stronger China actions agz the US in the SCS [ECS?].
