#1 The "status quo" in NE Asia may be changing sooner than anybody thinks.

As I've said or argued times before NOKOR desires to reunify wid SOKOR but China likely won't allow it until it first gets back de facto sovereign control over TAIWAN, i.e. China's future "US-style" CENTCOM into the far Pacific, + likely also de facto sovereign control of the presently Japanese-controlled Senkakus + Okinawa Archipelago to protect the Air-Sea, etc. approaches to, from Taiwan.

As a OWG Globalist, "US-style", "Co-Superpower" IN PAR NOT INFERIORITY TO THE US, CHINA WANTS "SOLE" OVERSEAS MILBASING RIGHTS FOR THE PLA VEE THE MOSTLY PRO-US "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN" INCLUDING CHINA SEAS + IOR BUT ISN'T GETTING IT.

There is little to no sign that China is amending or giving up its national or geopol agenda, hence the only way to get its "sole" overseas milbase rights + facilities is via UNILATERAL OR ASYMMETRIC MILPOL "CONFRONTATIONISM" + POTEN NOT WORSE/HIGHER-THAN-LIMITED-WAR, CONVENTIONAL ANDOR LIMITED NUCLEAR, AGZ US REGIONAL ALLIES + EVEN AGZ THE US ITSELF IN EAST ASIA-PACIFIC OR WESTPAC.

Anti-US US OWG Globalist POTUS Obama has PCorrectly-Deniably all but given China what it wanted in the South China Sea vee the Philippines, VN, + Indonesia, SO NOW CHINA HAS BEGUNS ASSERTING ITSELF AGZ US ALLIES JAPAN + SOKOR + TAIWAN IN NE ASIA. It strongly appears that China does not intend to attack Taiwan widout first isolating it as a Battlefield or Mil Theater-Front from Japan + SOKOR, ala the movement of "dual-use", Military-usable [staffed?] Oil-Gas Rigs on both sides of Taiwan + demanding that Japan give up all claims to the Senkaku + Okinawa islands.

NEITHER JAPAN NOR SOKOR IS "BUDGING", THUS THE LIKELIHOOD OF A CHINA OR PLA-LED MILITARY CLASH BETWEEN US REGIONAL ALLIES + ULTIMATELY AGZ THE US ITSELF IS STEADILY + EXPONENTIALLY RISING.

Again, it behooves China to make its moves in East Asia-Pacific/WESTPAC while POTUS Obama, aka the Pert, MSM-net verified weakest or worst US POTUS since Jimmy Carter or in US History, still occupies the Oval Office + sits atop the US National Command Authority. POTUS OBAMA WILL STILL BE IN OFFICE BETWEEN NOW THRU JAN. 2017.

Finally, after the so-called "FONOPS" by both the USS "Lassen" + the USS "Curtis Wilbur" DDGS in the SCS, PLA LEADERS ARE REPOR CALLING FOR A MUCH TOUGHER RESPONSE BY THE CPC/CCP IN BEIJING AGZ THE US "FONOP" INCURSIONS, OSTENSIBLY IN DEFENSE OF SOVEREIGN CHINESE TERRITORY + CHINESE NATIONAL, GEOPOL INTERESTS IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.

Is it a mere coincidence that NOKOR's rocket [China-ordered, NOKOR-fired?] flew over or near to the Yellow Sea, ECS, Okinawa, + Northern Philippines - I DON'T THINK SO.

#3 Why hasn't the U.S. leaned on China successfully? Because our current administration (and the last three) didn't want to. Simple as that.

Gotta have something to do with money.
