#4  OOOOPPSIES, forgot CHINA DAILY FORUM > "WHAT IFF JAPAN CLAIMED HAWAII"?

Chinese philanthropist Chen Guangbian's Ad in the NYT as per the China-Japan disputed Daoyu Islands.

IMO the ad should more correctly be termed "What iff China claimed Hawaii"?

Or even GUAM = GUAM-CNMI, as per the Chinese sailor "Coco" [Cocos Island] whom was repor already here on Guam when European explorers first arrived???

* ION DAILY TIMES.PK > CHINA WARNS US NOT TO TAKE SIDES IN SEA DISPUTE.

RELATED SAME > CHINA WARNS AGZ [US] INTERVENTION AS CLINTON VISITS ASIA.

* CHINA DAILY FORUM > JAPAN'S ILLEGAL MOVES [on Daoyus = Senkakus] WILL BE IN VAIN | CHINA WARNS/CAUTIONS JAPAN ON ISLAND DISPUTES.

* TOPIX > US OWES CHINA CONVINCING EXPLANATION OF TRUE INTENTIONS OF ASIA PIVOT POLICY.

IOW, while China openly calls for a mutual diplomatic solution to its sovereignty dispute wid the Philippines, at the same time it is de facto denying Philippine fishing boats + Coast Guard, etc. formal access to the shoal. CHINA IS EFFEC WARNING THE PHILIPPINES SUBTLY THAT ANY ATTEMPT TO CUT THEIR ROPE BUOY INVITES RISK OF A CHINESE MILITARY RESPONSE, + REGARDLESS OF US SUPPORT FOR MANILA.

Also, China has allegedly kept three Maritime Surveillance ships in the area contrary to MSM-Net + Diplomatic rhetoric.
