#5 China is snapping up all the Hashtags and the west can only stand idly by with the odd blog.

Tariffs of some sort might, which is why they're not gonna try them.

#7 BY various MSM-Net Perts + Bloggers, it would appear both the US + China are using similar tactics, i.e. THE CHINESE ARE PICKING DISPUTED ISLANDS WHERE US-SPECIFIC MUTUAL DEFENSE OBLIGATIONS BY TREATY ARE AMBIVALENT, SUBJECTIVE, OR IN THE CASE OF VIETNAM NON-EXISTENT.

Meanwhile, PHIL Govt Officials-Politicos proclaim the US is not obligated under EDCA to come to the PHIL defense as per Chinese contruction on PHIL-claimed Mabini Reef + Other, or IIUC even iff China attacks Luzon, etc. in retaliation for any PHIL-only milaction in defense of its claims on Mabini Reef, etc???

ALL THINGS EQUAL, AS IN THE MIDDLE EAST, ASSAD, + UKRAINE-CRIMEA CRISIS IT COMES DOW TO THE PERSONAL LEADERSHIP, ACTION-VS-NON-ACTION, OF THE POTUS CURRENTLY IN THE US WHITE HOUSE.

Again, OWG GLOBALISM + CO-SUPERPOWERISM = OBAMA-THE-ANTI-US-GLOBALIST = HOW MUCH OR HOW FAR CAN THE US = GREAT POWERS SAFELY GIVE UP, RETREAT OR OTHERWISE FALL BACK GEOPOL ACROSS THE WORLD WIDOUT BEING EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED OR DESTROYED - HOW MUCH IS "TOO MUCH", HOW FAR IS "TOO FAR", ETC. WIDIN THE GLOBALIST AGENDA!?

Espec by MilPol aggressive, former Geopol enemies rivals, or protagonist wannabes whom are now, desired, or soon-will-be OWG PAR NUCLEAR CO-SUPERPOWERS, VEE THE NEVER-ENDING "GREAT GAME" = SUBSTITUTION/REPLACEMENT OF NATION(S) + WEALTH BY ANOTHER.

It is unknown numbers of East Asians, etal. whom will be killed or seriously wounded in these mighty War(s) for OWG Globalism + Co-Superpowerism - RELATIVELY FEW OR NO AMERICANS = AMERIKANS WILL DIE BECAUSE OBAMA-THE-GLOBALIST WILL BE GEOPOL "RETREATING" OR FALLING BACK ACROSS THE WORLD, OR AT MINIMA STAYING PUT, NOTSOMUCH DIRECTLY INTERVENING OR FIGHTING OR ... ...???

Reagan-Bush 41 era "Peace thru Strength" is now post-Cold War, post-9-11's "Leading from Behind" aka "Peace thru Weakness".

Or as I liked to put it back in the 1990's Net > "D *** NG IT, SUPPORT YOUR VICHY AMERIKA + OUR SACRED NATIONAL COMMUNISM" [you know - FASCISM], + "GOOD OWG AMERIKANS DEMAND THEIR RIGHT TO BE ATTACKED + DESTROYED"!

No big.
