| Japan, South Korea Defy Chinese Air Zone |
| 2013-11-29 |
| [An Nahar] Japan and South Korea said Thursday they have defied China's newly-declared air defense zone, showing a united front to Beijing after U.S. B-52 bombers did the same. Chinese authorities are coming under internal pressure to toughen their response to incursions into the air defense identification zone (ADIZ), which it declared unilaterally last weekend. It includes disputed islands claimed by China, which knows them as the Diaoyus, but controlled by Japan, which calls them the Senkakus. |

| #8 'Tis a PCorrect-Deniable, "soft power" MilPol escalation, but a MilPol escalation nonetheless as CHINA WILL KEEP STEADILY "UPPING THE ANTE". * BIGNEWSNETWORK > [IBT.com] CHINA RESPONDS SARCASTICALLY TO JAPAN'S REQUEST TO REVOKE ADIZ AIR DEFENCE ZONE. * SAME > [National Turk] SENKAKU ISLANDS DISPUTE: CHINA THREATENS JAPAN WID COLD WAR. HHHHMMM, HHHHHMMM, YES-N-NO, as IMO China's desire for PLA-centric, unfettered or unchallenged strategic access into WESTPAC makes any such "Cold War" TEMPORARY AT BEST - DITTO AS REFLECTED PER ITS MILITARY HISTORY AGZ TAIWAN, VIETNAM, + PHIL. China will put out all of the PCorrect, pro-Diplomacy/Peace feelers, etc. THEN SUDDENLY SHOCKINGLY JUST OPEN FIRE ON A NICE DAY. * SAME >[Prison Planet] CHINA DECLARES "WILLING TO ENGAGE IN PROTRACTIVE CONFLICT" WID JAPAN AS "PRIME TARGET". * RUSSIA TODAY > OP-ED: US TO CHINA: STOP BEING ALL SOVEREIGN! USA > D *** NG IT, CHINA, THIS IS THE ERA OF OWG GLOBALISM = ERA OF "BORDERLESS" ANTI-SOVEREIGNTY - STOP BEING A PRO-SOVEREIGN NATIONALIST, ITS JUST SSSSSOOOOOOOOO PRE-9-11! To paraph 1980's "BLOOM COUNTY" = "CONTEMPORIZE, MAN, COMTEMPORIZE"! * BHARAT RAKSHAK > [NYT] AIRSPACE CLAIMS FORCE OBAMA TO FLESH OUT CHINA STRATEGY. Clearly the NYT has misspelled "Strategeeery"??? Real mil conflict in defense of US interests + Allies; or a pro-Marxist-Socialist, pro-OWG Globalist "POTEMKIN-IST WAR" WHERE THE US INTENTIONALLY UNILATERALLY GIVES UP EAST ASIA + 1/2 OF THE PACIFIC [Guam? Hawaii?] WHILE PRETENDING IT MILPOL "LOST" [wink-wink] THE SAME TO CHINA??? Where absolutely positively categorically undeniably ...@etc. "having no choice" in the real/present time = obeying an agenda that was pre-planned many years or decades ago??? * SAME > CHINA TESTING LIMITS OF US [US-Allies] RELATIONSHIPS WID AIR DEFENCE ZONE. * Also from BHARAT RAKSHAK ... > [WantChinaTimes] B-52'S SEND WARNINGS TO BOTH CHINA AND JAPAN: [Foremr] US OFFICIAL. Anne-Marie Slaughter. > SAME > ABE'S "CONFRONTATIONAL PACIFISM" WILL NOT BRING ABOUT PEACE. > SAME = BEIJING WILLING TO GO TO WAR OVER EAST CHINA SEA: [Anonymous] JAPANESE SCHOLAR. > SAME = CHINA TESTING LIMITS OF US DOMINANCE IN EAST ASIA. IMO "DOMINANCE" ALSO READ AS [POTUS BAMMER, OWG GLOBALIST-LED "WILLINGNESS", to serve-n-protect US interests in East Asia. -------------- Lastly, closer to home [Guam-CNMI-Westpac] ... * WANTCHINATIMES > JAPAN TO EXPAND [its own] AIR DEFENCE ZONE FURTHER SOUTH, towards the Ogasawara = Bonin Islands. Japan SDFS Arc extending to link wid the USDOD in Guam + CNMI - it already shares IWO JIMA wid the US vee routine training activities. But I digress ... |

| #6 Put your money on the JSDF. And the Imperial Navy. Once upon a time, the IJN was the terror of the high seas. The ChiComs don't want a repeat of that and likely have worked out a contingency plan. Having declared an ADIZ that everyone is pointedly ignoring is a loss of face for the Chinese. Something will have to be done about that. I suspect they are saving it up for when push comes to shove in what would traditionally be a minor incident. Massive escalation ensues and they get to say "Hey, we warned you...". |
