| Dupe entry: China points finger at U.S. over Asia-Pacific tensions |
| 2013-04-16 |
| "China's defense ministry made a thinly veiled attack on the United States on Tuesday for increasing tensions in the Asia-Pacific by ramping up its military presence and alliances in the region, days after the top U.S. diplomat visited Beijing." Gee Jawn, maybe you should have tossed them some medals - ya'know, just as a reminder of your visit...? "China has repeatedly said the world has nothing to fear from its military spending, which it says is needed for legitimate defensive purposes in a complex and changing world, and that the sums spent pale in comparison with U.S. defense expenditure." Interesting way of putting it.... AoS at 1920 CT: always check for duplicates before posting, else you'll see 'Dupe Entry' in the Headline. If you see that it means that the same exact URL of your post has already appeared on the Burg, so don't proceed with posting. |

| #2 See also RELATED GUARDIAN.UK > CHINA BLASTS US FOR ASIA-PACIFIC MILITARY BUILDUP. ARTIC > PLA DAILY > CHINA DEFENCE "WHITE PAPER" = notes that China needs to beef up = strengthen its defenses agz a West seemingly intent on undermining it, West continues to use a strategy of trying to modernize China while also simul trying to destabilize + break it up??? AGAIN, AS PER THE LATEST NOKOR/DPRK CRISIS, ITS CHINA THAT HAS BEEN MOBILIZING ITS MIL ASSETS, NOT NOKOR. IMO the NOKOR Crisis heralds the begining of "post-US", "Mahanist" China's challenge to US Power-n-Influence in East Asia or Asia - Pacific, albeit indirectly or by "proxy/ surrogate" at present. HOWEVER, IFF NOTHING CHANGES CHINA WILL STEADILY BEGIN LINEARLY PUTTING THE PLA + ANTI-US NUCLEAR BRINKMANSHIP, ETC. IN THE FOREFRONT OF SINO-US CONFRONTATION IN LIEU OF PROXY NORTH KOREA. IOW, where Rising China's strategic interests are concerned NOKOR/DPRK's KJU's war rants is just for starters = "testing'feeling" the Bammer + Debt-Sequester-ridden US' response for when China is finally ready to begin the shooting war that must occur. Iff one believes that POTUS Bammer is a de facto anti-US Lefty Marxist-Anarchist-Globalist, then the best time for China + Iran to "push the envelope" in regards to achieveing + entrenching their particular National + Geopol agendums is NOW, ASAP AMAP ALAP during a Bammer 2nd term, not after Jan. 2017 wid a new US POTUS in office. |
