And this is from a blogger :

"Err...Not to be rude, but just what is up with the 7th Fleet Area of Operations? The whole world wonders....

Over the past couple of days we've seen evidence that auxiliaries are being overwhelmed by "short-notice operational taskings" in the region, and with the Essex ESG cruising with the rather powerful USS Nimitz strike group, coupled with a new report that the USS Kitty Hawk just high-tailed it out of Yokosuka, we've pretty much got the entire 7th Fleet out at sea.

And then Abe, headed for Pearl Harbor on the 21st, serving as reserve...

This amount of movement just seems unusual. Sure looks like we're worried about Taiwan, though. And nobody's covering it."

There is no way China is going to do anything this close to the Olympics. China has been desperate to present a showcase to the world, and the Olympics 2008 gives it that chance (much like Munich in 1936). China is eager for a PR coup, so it will not “squirrel” things across the Tawiwan Straits. At least, not before the Olympics.

The Chinese Premier sure was itchy about Taiwan last night on C-SPAN. He said whoever sought to divide Taiwan from the One China was doomed to failure.
