#12  India has been focusing it's naval power to the east of Asia. China is rebutting that policy.

#5  It doesn't matter that it's free - it's simply irritating to be expected to sign up for some random website just to read an article. Either post the relevant portion inline, or don't post at all.

I suppose the original poster didn't even realize this as he is a subscriber.

#1  See also PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUMS > EXPANSION OF JAPAN GSDFS AIMS AT DAOYU ISLANDS [Nippon = Senkakus].

ARTIC = Up to 20,000 Japan Ground SDFS, aka Japanese Army, may be deployed to the Japan-claimed Senkakus + other nearby isles by 2020.

GODZILLA, GAMERA + RODAN, etal. LIKE TO BE HIRED FOR STRATEGIC RESERVE, BUT ARE UNWILLING TO BE PAID OR EAT [Fukushima]RADIOACTIVE FISH OR HUMANS???

* SAME > KREMLIN FEAR OF [unpredictable]CHINA [econ, mil, tech]DRIVES ITS FOREIGN POLICY.

* CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > [WSJ.com] TAIWAN LOSING THE SPYING GAME.

ARTIC ="Taiwan appears to have given up" addressing or trying to resolve various espionage vulnerabilities vee mainland China, or else is intentionally turning a blind eye to same. TAIWAN'S FAILURE TO RELIABLY PROTECT MILTECH SECRETS VEE BEIJING + PLA MAY BE A MAJOR FACTOR IN THE US-WEST'S UNWILLINGNESS = RELCUTANCE TO SELL IT ADVANCED WEAPON SYSTEMS.

E.g. latest US F-16's.
