Taiwan china and the US

Are you bored? You want a dust up? A lot of action in the old D&D? I'm gonna sit back and watch this for a bit.

 

Manifest destiny b--ches...., Taiwan and Tibet needs to learn and deal with it. YEAHHHHH

Inflammatory enough?

 

Considering that the PRC changed their mind again to allow the aircraft carrier to dock in Hong Kong, it was too late for the aircraft carrier to change course, this doesn't seem like the PRC was trying to intentionally snub the US Navy but had a mixup.

 

Taiwan should be gearing up to take back the Mainland.

Seriously, there is going to be a little shooting war over the Spratley Islands and the oil resources there in the next decade . It could be China vs Viet Nam, Taiwan and Japan.

Asked on a recent visit to Malaysia whether the South China Sea tension was a threat to regional security, Paul Wolfowitz, the U.S. undersecretary of defense for policy, said, "all you have to do is look at the list of countries" with conflicting claims to "realize what an awful problem that could become."

He said the claimants "must not resort to military force to try to sort that mess out."

A major focus of tension is on the Spratly Islands, which are in the southern sector of the South China Sea between Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines.

But, writing in the June issue of the Asian Defense Journal, General Mohammed Ali Alwi, Malaysia's assistant chief of the army for plans and development, noted that practically the whole of the South China Sea was in dispute.

He said that with China in the midst of a program to develop a dominant navy and an amphibious capability, "fear and concern among the smaller littoral states in the region are justifiably grave."

Vietnam, China and Taiwan each claim all of the Spratlys, an archipelago of dozens of islands, atolls and reefs that hold the key to control of surrounding offshore oil and gas rights in the South China Sea.

Malaysia, the Philippines and Brunei claim some of the islands in the Spratly group, which covers an area of approximately 150,000 square miles (388,000 square kilometers).

China and Vietnam fought a brief battle in the Spratlys in 1988 in which the Chinese Navy sank three Vietnamese supply ships, killed 72 Vietnamese sailors and took 9 others prisoner, according to Vietnamese accounts.

Since then, all the claimants have fortified the islands they hold and either acquired more potent weapons or announced that they would do so. The list of new weapons includes advanced fighter aircraft, naval vessels and missiles.

Dude? A mix up with a US carrier? Not bloody likely. The logistics for a stopover of a carrier would require 3 months of planning.

A mix up in The PRC on matters of international relations? Not bloody likely.
Nobody does anything that the guy above him don't approve.

It was a calculated passive/agressive response to the Dali Lama's visit to Washington.

 

Which is well within their rights.

Small tit-for-tat to express displeasure with U.S. interference in a domestic concern of immense importance to the Chinese...no harm, no foul.

This is usually how the 'big fish' (who otherwise enjoy strong bilateral ties) deal with each other. I don't think anyone will make a big fuss about it.

 

^ The PRC suffers from the same bureacractic bungles and inefficiencies as the US, very likley more. If it was meant to be a snub I don't think they would've reversed their decision yet again. This just makes them look inept which it is on their part.

 

i think the USA should give back the black hills to the indians.

 

and then kill them.
