BEIJING – China urged the United States on Wednesday to restrain other countries from provoking Beijing in disputes over contested territories in the South China Sea, warning that Washington risks becoming embroiled in an unwanted conflict.

Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai said it would be best if the United States stayed out of the long-standing disputes, but acknowledged that Washington has an interest in freedom of navigation in sea lanes that are vital to trade.

"If the United States does want to play a role, it may counsel restraint to those countries that have frequently been taking provocative action and ask them to be more responsible in their behavior," Cui said at a briefing. "I believe that individual countries are actually playing with fire, and I hope that fire will not be drawn to the United States."

Such a warning would never be issued if the POTUS was not perceived as a wimpy manchild.

I miss him so much.

Not to worry. The Chinese military only kills Chinese people.

“If the United States does want to play a role, it may counsel restraint to those countries that have frequently been taking provocative action and ask them to be more responsible in their behavior,”

Translation of what China just said: “Tell your friends and allies in Asia that they should not respond to our provocations and belligerent activities in these disputes. And, tell your self not to defend your friends and allies in Asia, when we take provocative and belligerent actions in these disputes.”

That’s what they actually said.

Or risk not being flooded with a storm of incredibly de-engineered products of all sorts, all packaged in that spooky self-dissolving Chinese sh!tboard.

Vietnam and Philippine involved in the dispute.

After US sends a carrier group (I’ll need to check if it is the Pacific fleet) to the South China Sea, then this warning. And of course US under Obama will back down.

China is actively flexing her muscles, Japan / Korea (pfff) / Taiwan need to be prepared.

What is not widely reported is the red China’s internal struggles with the peasants (their citizens). The unrests and riots in the past years in the rural China (inner provinces) are not starting up in the large cities and coastal area.

The traditional way for chicomm’s unpopularity problem is to creat an outside enemy, so all the hate can be re-directed. This looks to me just like that.

Oh, not to worry, the brainless twit in the White Hut will just bow to China, bend over and take it like the pretty boy he thinks he is.

I think we should call thier bluff. If China hits one of our ships or one of our sailors while they are in International Waters it is an act of war and ALL DEBT is Cancelled!

Reagan would’ve responded to this by having three carrier battle groups drag their coat tails all over the South China Sea while maintaining CAP with white things on the rails.

And I miss him, too. Hard to believe it’s been 22 1/2 years since the USA last had a real man as President.

Yeah, yeah, I know some think W was a ‘real man’ and I used to think so, too, until I saw that picture of Bush holding hands with that rat from Suadi Arabia.

“And I miss him, too. Hard to believe it’s been 22 1/2 years since the USA last had a real man as President.”

And that’s 22.5 years for the ChiComs to screw up their courage for the same mistake Bin Ladin made with his ‘paper tiger’ comment.

But until President Golfstar is out of office, those carriers will just do laps in the ocean or protect us from the ravenous hordes killer smelt out there in the big water.

China’s message:

1. Oil in the west Pacific is OURS

2. We want to secure trade routes close to our land

3. You Americans get out of the West Pacific —stay around Saipan, Guam, or better yet, Hawaii.

They have point-blank proposed West Pac for China, East Pac 4 USA.

Just imagine Japan in the ‘30’s, and that’s the modern China (except that they’re considerably richer).

China will be really angry, after our US leadership repudiates the debt. ;-)

Dunno ‘bout that. They killed an awful lot of Japs. Possibly more than the rest of us (UK, US, France, etc.) did.
