#1 Again, is RISING CHINA a OWG Globie-desired, "US-style", "US-par", OWG Co-Superpower in [rough?]PARITY wid the US, + siblings RUSSIA + IRAN, OTHER? NOT INFERIORITY TO THE US, OR IS IT NOT!? Iff China is, then the Bammer will PCorrectly-Deniably help China expand and acquire a sphere(s) of influence befitting its Co-Superpower status.

THE BAMMER SENDS POWERFUL USN WARSHIPS INCLUD THE USS "STENNIS" CVN + ESCORTS TO THE SCS, YET THESE SAME STAY OUTSIDE THE 12-NM LIMIT, ALL BUT OFFICIALLY SUPPORTING OR RECOGNIZING CHINA'S CLAIMS OF SOVEREIGNTY + INTERESTS TO SAME, N-O-T THOSE OF US REGIONAL ALLIES.

* TOPIX, WORLD NEWS > SOUTH CHINA SEA: US ADMIRAL WARNS CHINA IMPOSING "MIGHT MAKES RIGHT" ATTITUDE IN SE ASIA.

US PACFLT Chief ADM. Scott Swift.

See below.

* WORLD NEWS > [US] DNI CHIEF: CHINA WILL HAVE "SUBSTANTIAL [Offensive] MILTARY POWER" IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA BY 2017.

* SAME > [Indian Express] US: IMPACT OF LOSING ACCESS TO SOUTH CHINA SEA GOES BEYOND [just] MILITARY [naval]. Also has MAJOR OR SERIOUS implications for the Global Economy + International Law.

* JAPAN TIMES > TAIWAN KEY TO CHINA'S DEFENCE, REGIONAL AMBITIONS.

* RELATED TOPIX > [2016 US POTUS] CANDIDATES SHOULD START THINKING ABOUT TAIWAN.

Vee FUTURE-N-FINAL US-CHINA RELATIONS.

TWITTERHEAD = argued that the "US HAS NO BUSINESS IN ASIAN AFFAIRS, AND SHOULD GET OUT OF OKINAWA AND GUAM TOO".

Wehell now, lets just sink the BB USS "Oklahoma" - again - why don't we??

* DEFEENCE.PK/FORUMS > HILLARY CLINTON "DOES NOT WANT HER GRANDCHILDREN TO LIVE IN WORLD DOMINATED BY THE CHINESE".

Y-o-o-o-kay, WILL HILLARY FEEL BETTER IFF THE WORLD WAS MUSLIM OR ISLAMIC??? Both threaten Guam's Camel Rock.

Lest we fergit, "US-VS-CHINA" RIVALRY IN EAST ASIA-PACIFIC IS NOW THE "US-VS-CHINA-VS-NUCLEAR-ISLAM".
