#1 As per GLOBALNATION + JAPAN MEDIAS, China is accusing the PHIL of stirring tensions + promoting instability after Aguino gave support to Abe for strong constitutional + military reforms.

* Also from GLOBAL NATION > COLUMNISTS: NO CHOICE. DESTROY CHINA'S FUTURE PHILIPPINE MILITARY BASES NOW.

Chinese Milbases in the Spratlys = SCS all but certain to turn the PHIL into a SLAVE/VASSAL STATE FOR CHINA.

* SAME > ... ...

> CHINA IS TESTING FILIPINO'S DETERMINATION TO DEFEND AGZ INTRUSION.
> CHINA MAP HAS NO [fixed = certain]GEOGRAPHIC [land-n-sea] COORDINATES - DFA.

Hence making China's SCS claims "moveable" - also read, "EXPANDABLE"???

* TOPIX > [Stars-N-Stripes] US MARINE CORPS FORCE PLANNER: NO MORE "IWO JIMAS".

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [Chosun Ilbo] SOUTH KOREA DEFENSE MINISTER [Kim Kwan-jin] HAS NO OBJECTION TO [SOKOR-based = THAAD?] US INTERCEPTOR MISSLES, but won't buy them either, at least not yet.

Formerly GUAM-BASED???

*

* IIRC SAME > SUNSET FOR A STRONG NAVY? WITH BUDGET CUTS, OPINIONS DIFFER ON NECESSARY NUMBER OF AIRCRAFT CARRIERS.

* BIGNEWSNETWORK > NEW CHINESE MAP ["10-Dash-Line"] SHOW LARGER CLAIMS IN SCS.
