#5 Lest we fergit, as per the NET the East China Sea competition or rivalry wid China is Japan's main national security issue, while for Mainland China proper its TAIWAN, i.e. Beijing's de facto sovereign recovery + reunification wid same.

China believes both the US THAAD + Russia's S-400 BMAAD are covertly pointed at it, notsomuch agz seemingly bellicose NOKOR, while NOKOR on its part wants to reunify with the South ASAP AMAP but knows that Beijing won't allow it unless it first gets back TAIWAN. WHY SHOULD RUSSIA + IRAN GET THEIR RESPECTIVE SPHERE(S) OF INFLUENCE BUT NOT CHINA???

As for NOKOR, China = Beijing is NOKOR's primary trading partner [also read, "SOLE"?] - iff the status quo on the Korean Peninsula is not changed China's already dominant or excessive share of bilateral trade wid NOKOR is likely to go ever higher, to possibly near or at 100%!? IT WON'T TAKE LONG FOR CHINA TO TAKE OVER ALL OF NOKOR'S GOVT-COMMERCIAL SECTORS + MILITARY, A SCENARIO WHICH NEITHER PUDGY NOR SOKOR [ROK] WANTS TO SEE HAPPEN.

PUDGY IS FIGHTING THE CLOCK - how much will US relations + credibility wid SOKOR + JAPAN be harmed iff the US allows China to take over or annex NOKOR, JUST BECAUSE THE US DOESN'T LIKE PUDGY PER SE OR THE KIM REGIME???

* FYI REUTERS > CHINA'S XI SAYS WON'T ALLOW TAIWAN TO BE "SPLIT OFF" FROM MAINLAND [evar!]
AGAIN.

RELATED BIGNEWSNETWORK > CHINA PRESIDENT [Xi Jinping] WARNS TAIWAN AGZ MOVES TOWARDS INDEPENDENCE.

Never independent shall Taiwan be from Beijing.

NO SUPRISE AS TAIWAN IS CHINA'S CROWN JEWEL DESIRED FUTURE PLA OFFSHORE CENTCOM INTO WESTPAC + FAR PACIFIC, ETC.

* Also from BIGNEWSNETWORK > THAAD IN SOUTH KOREA COULD USE [lower-level/atmosphere] BACKUP SYSTEMS, REPORT SAYS.

* SPUTNIK NEWS > WHAT ROLE WILL RUSSIA PLAY IN US-CHINA SOUTH CHINA SEA DISPUTE?

Besides sending the Russian Air Force to fly over andor near CHINA - YOU KNOW, GUAM USA.

Ditto as per CHINA-VS-JAPAN [US?] EAST CHINA SEA DISPUTE.

* XINHUA > CHINA WATCHES JAPAN'S ACTIVITIES IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. PRC FM Spox Hong Lei.

#6 More this sunny AM ...

* WORLD NEWS > [Jakarta Globe] INSIGHT: SOUTH CHINA SEA A TEST FOR THREE MAJOR POWERS [US, China, + ASEAN].

"ASEAN" = OWG SE ASIA GLOBAL FEDERAL UNION? = EU? = NOW A "MAJOR WORLD POWER"???

DOES OWG CO-SUERPOWER CHINA + CHINA-N-ONLY-CHINA-LED ASIA UNION, EAST ASIA UNION, SINA UNION, ETC. KNOW???

ARISE, SEATO, ARISE???

* COMMANDER, US SEVENTH FLEET@NAVY.MIL > THE GREAT GREEN FLEET OPERATES IN THE SOUTH CHINA.

Iff God, Madonna, + 1960's-1970's Guam Taotamonas prove correct, + usually do, vessels from this USN "green fleet" will be visiting Guam.

DESIGN, FUEL, + LUBES, ETC. = OH-SO-ENVIONMENTALLY-CORRECT + ANTI-SOLAR/GWCC CAPABLE.

WEIRD LOOK + WEIRD FEEL, ETC. FOR WEIRD-LOOKING WARSHIPS + CREWS.

As a former Cold Warrior + USNSD-FISC, SRF Guam, + AAFB employee - "EEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW, YOU FIRST IFF YOU WANT SOMEONE TO TOUCH OR FEEL IT"!

Personally I blame GERARD BUTLER as "Set" in "GODS OF EGYPT".

That just let all the smoke out of my brain. You should borrow Shipman's Triumph and go full Aubrey. Donuts on the quarterdeck!
