The August 20, 2007 Washington Times National Weekly Edition had a short article in Bill Gertzs Inside the Ring section on page 16 which is vitally important. However, it was ignored by the national media.
The article states that the senior Air Force commander [General Paul Hester] in the Pacific last week threw cold water on a Chinese proposal to divide up the Pacific Ocean into US and Chinese spheres of influence. The Chinese proposal would have yielded the eastern Pacific Region to the USA while allowing China dominance in the western Pacific. General Hester stated that our policy is not to cede space to anyone. This proposal was apparently also made to the commander of the US Navys Pacific Fleet, Admiral Tom Keating, during a recent visit to China.

Unlike the Chinese, we have allies in the region. The fact that the Chinese float this one shows that they have no friends in the area.
We already have: US 100% vs. China not-so-much. Hence why the Chinese are begging for a larger piece of the pie!
Jon Ken Poi ?
All your ocean are belong to us!
Hey.... doesn’t hurt to ask, right?
Didn’t Spain and Portugal do something like this in the past. Where are they now?
Kind of like a Southeast Asia Co-prosperity Sphere?
“All your ocean are belong to us!”

Keep that thought in mind when LOST rears its ugly head again in the not too distant future.
Nah—let’s divide the Pacific Ocean up with Japan instead. China can go fish...or actually mabe they can’t go fish after we divide it up with Japan.
The Great Anti-splittists wish to split the ocean. Did they not notice Russia has more ocean frontage than China does?
Duncan Hunter is the only presidential candidate who realizes that Red China is a threat to us.
Sadly, last night I heard Mitt Romney say on Laura Ingraham’s show that we should have a partnership with China, and it’s the third time I heard him say it.
We already have an approximately $275 BILLION trade deficit with China, what more does Romney want? He just doesn’t get it.
I love Bill Gertz and Duncan Hunter for being on top of this.
China just can’t seem to stop playing the role of Nazi Germany in this 21st century play.
Beijing Olympics is just a replay of Berlin 1936, and now they want to treat the Pacific Ocean like Poland. Unfortunately for them the USA is not the USSR.
This just in.....US offers to share South China Sea with China.
What parts of the pacific does china think it has a claim to? As far as I know, all they got is taiwan and a few tiny nothing islands in the south china sea. Japan has a greater claim to the pacific than china does. So do the french and the british. We’ve got hawaii, samoa, the carolines, and several others.
China can jump off a cliff.
Just draw the line about down the middle of the Straits of Formosa.
That’s more like it!
