#3 China has begun using PLAN surface warfare vessels in lieu of CMS-SOA vessels to violet Japan's 12-mile territorial waters around the China-claimed Senkakus/Diaoyus; + has basically demanded that Japan stop scrambling JSDF fighters to fly over the same, i.e. over Chinese territory.

I SAY AGAIN THAT CHINA IS "PREPPING/LAYING OUT THE [coming]BATTLEFIELD" FOR A DE FACTO SHOOTING WAR AGZ JAPAN, + A LIKELY SUBSEQUENT OR FOLLOW=ON DIRECT MIL CONFRONTATION WID JAPAN'S ALLY THE USA.

THE US-VS-CHINA "BALANCE OF POWER/TERROR" IN EAST ASIA THRU CENTPAC.

"THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE".

The parallel crisis known as North Korea + Pudgy/KJU is about how for NOKOR to stop starving, reunify wid SOKOR + INDEPENDENTLY FROM OVERLORD CHINA, + WHILE SURVIVING CHINA'S ANTI-US GLOBAL AMBITION AS "POST-US", "WORLD #1".

Meanwhile ...

* CHINA DAILY FORUM > [BreitBart] THE SOON-TO-BE OFFICIAL US NATIONAL LANGUAGE - MANDARIN CHINESE.

D *** NG IT, DOES RADICAL ISLAM + GLOBAL NUCLEAR JIAHDIS + ANTI-US OWG SECULAR MARXIST-GLOBALISTS KNOW???

[WAYNE'S WORLD "THUMBS UP" here].

As one Nation-State weakens or delines, another(s0 rises.

* DRUDGEREPORT, CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > [Financial Times] CHINA DELOYING ANTI-SHIP MISSLE OFF TAIWAN.

DF-21D ASBMS for use primarily agz intervening US Navy's CVNS + BGS, Gator Boyz in the Taiwan Straits.

IN REALITY THESE ASBMS WILL LIKELY BE BACKED UP BY LR PLAAF AIRPOWER + 2ND ARTY NUKE-ARMED MISSLES AS A MATTER OF COURSE.

* Also from CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > [Telegraph.UK = CCTV] CHINA'S FIRST AIRCRAFT CARRIER "PREPARING FOR FIRST LONG-DUSTANCE MISSION".

"Show-the-Flag" overseas deployment may take it near JAPAN'S OKINAWA, as well as faraway GUAM.

IMO it once again shows that the latest North Korean crisis is actually China's + its desire to challenge US power-n-influence = position in the Pacific, at least to get the US out of East Asia + "First Island Chain" + WESTPAC-SOPAC, all the way AMAP AFAP to CENTPAC.

VERSUS

cHINA DAILY FORUM > US OKAYS VIETNAM'S REQUEST TO BUT P-3C "ORION" ANTI-SUBMARINE PLANES AGZ CHINA, i.e. agz PLAN Submarines.

India will likely approve given its on-going problems related to procurement + tech-sharing, joint dev of modern MilAssets. most notably vee France + espec Mama Russia.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > A PHILIPPINE MISSLE PROJECT? |[Pinoy Exchange] A PROPOSAL FOR THE PHILIPPINES: RESURRECT "PROJECT SANTA BARBARA".

Ostensibly an indigenous SRBM Tac Sys, but iff successful could open up the PHIL to greater possibilities in future i.e. Tactical, Strategic LRBMS???
