Ugh! In my post #6, it should read "concede that the western Pacific will inevitably become a Chinese sea."

I don't think even the most ambitious Chinese leaders are thinking about taking the eastern Pacific (not now, anyway).

And it’s too late. You said EASTERN first and now you have to be kicked off the board :)

But being as I should have been kicked off 1000 times and I’m still here, we’ll let it slide :)
