| China Warning US Carriers To Stay Out Of 'Their' Strategic Waters |
| 2010-06-09 |
| A state-run Chinese newspaper on Tuesday criticized the South Korean government for allowing the 97,000-ton aircraft carrier George Washington of the U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet to join South Korea-U.S. military training scheduled late this month. In an editorial, Global News wrote the West Sea "is in proximity to China's political hub of Beijing and Tianjin. If a U.S. aircraft carrier comes into the West Sea, mainland China falls under the military strategic influence of U.S. military forces. The people of China will not accept South Korea having military demonstration involving a U.S. aircraft carrier." It added U.S. forces appear to regard China "as their largest potential enemy, exposing a lack of strategic mutual trust between the U.S. and China. If South Korea wants to develop trust with China, it will have to consider the sentiments of the people of China." The paper warned Seoul "will have difficulty taking any kind of step forward on issues concerning the whole Korean Peninsula without China's understanding and cooperation." What South Korea needs to do now is not to put pressure on China by frequently involving the U.S. and escalating tensions in Northeast Asia but seek ways to alleviate tensions in the peninsula, it added. Since, of course, China has been so friggin' helpful in the past on Korean issues. |

| #7 The Foreign Ministry in Beijing said in a statement today the applications to dock weren't made in a "timely fashion." Sounds like Dilbert's boss works in China's Foreign Ministry now. |

| #6 Nov. 28 2007 (Bloomberg) -- China, which denied a U.S. aircraft carrier permission to dock in Hong Kong for Thanksgiving, also recently refused access to two minesweeping ships seeking refuge from a storm, the commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific said. The USS Patriot and USS Guardian were forced to refuel at sea and return to their homeport of Sasebo in Japan when China refused their request for shelter in Hong Kong, Admiral Timothy Keating told reporters in Washington yesterday. China's denial violated an ``unwritten law among seamen that if someone is in need'' you give them safe harbor, Keating said in a video conference from his headquarters at Camp Smith, Hawaii, according to a transcript. The Foreign Ministry in Beijing said in a statement today the applications to dock weren't made in a ``timely fashion.'' The incidents came about two weeks after Defense Secretary Robert Gates visited China seeking greater cooperation between the two countries and more transparency from the government in Beijing about its military buildup. The USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier, accompanying ships and about 8,000 crew members were scheduled to spend the Thanksgiving holiday in Hong Kong when China denied the U.S. Navy permission to dock. This news is of course a couple notches up on the huevometer. |

| #5 The Chinese discovered the cure to a limp dick a thousand years ago. Maybe we should get them to export some of it to us. |
