#1 Again, China wants permamnent + unchallenged or unobstructed PLA access into WESTPAC + NORPAC, has hinged the success of this + its broader
"post-US" agendum on formal reunification wid Taiwan [stalled] - China wants Okinawa + Diaoyus/Senkakus, etc. to cover the approaches to + from its desired future PLA Milbases on Taiwan + of course the East China Sea which it sees as its unique domain.

ION WORLD NEWS [related] > TOKYO GOVERNOR RISKS CHINESE OUTRAGE WID DISPUTED ISLAND CONSTRUCTION PLAN.

I have to respect Ishihara on this as he publicly only wishes to see or do what many in both Japan + China, as well as the rest of East Asia = ASEAN, would like to see accomplished for their countries' specific territorial claims in ECS + SCS - FINALLY, PERMANENTLY + FOREVER.

NO ONE IN JAPAN, CHINA, ANDOR ASEAN SERIOUSLY BELIEVES IN THE CONCEPT OF SHARING THE ISLANDS, I.E. "SHARING/JOINT/COMBINED/MULTILATERAL SOVEREIGNTY". The collective or common focii is modernizing making their economies, + by extension Nations-States, stronger than as present, AMAP ASAP ALAP WHICH THEY DON;T SEE AS BEING ACHIEVED IFF THEY HAVE TO SHARE VITAL RESOURCES.

"SHARED SOVEREIGNTY" + SIMILAR IS FOR AFTER = LATER CONSIDERATION, NOT NOW. The East Asia "pecking order" from the 20th Century + Cold War thru post-9-11 is being changed.

* TOPIX > TIMES ARE A'CHANGIN IN NORTHEAST ASIAN WATERS.

HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER = "... And we'll be lucky to just live through it".

[WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE- EVE OF DESTRUCTION here].

* SAME > US, ROK PLAYING RISKY MISSLE GAME.

* SAME > DISPUTED ISLANDS WID 45 YEARS OF OIL RESERVES SPLIT CHINA, JAPAN.

The reality of the OWG-NWO Govts-Perts consensus being that there is no such consensus, as per "Peak Oil/Energy/Resources", is IMO the greater threat to ambitious, "post-US" China than some tiny East China Sea rocks + their precious seafloors.

* SAME > CHINA TO BECOME "WORLD's SECOND WEALTHIEST NATION", overtaking Japan widin 5 years [Year 2017 or ASAP after]???
