US: China Claim of Air Rights Over Disputed Islands 'Creates Risk Of Incident'

The United States warned Saturday that China's military claim to airspace over a disputed island chain creates the risk of "misunderstanding and miscalculation."

The creation of an "Air Defense Identification Zone" by China, which its top defense official described as an early-warning system, comes amid rising tensions between China and Japan over claims to the islands that are believed to have large oil reserves.

"This unilateral action constitutes an attempt to change the status quo in the East China Sea. Escalatory action will only increase tensions in the region and create risks of an incident," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said.

"...We have urged China to exercise caution and restraint, and we are consulting with Japan and other affected parties throughout the region."

Historians will look back at this incident as the moment China began asserting itself with surprising aggressiveness in what seems to be a new posture in challenging the US as naval power in Asia. This is an unexpected tact taken by China, were thought to remain low key and non-confrontational for the forseeable future, the first US-Sino challenge for supremacy not expected for some time, or in this manner.

Between the multi-trillions we owe the Chinese, Obama running off with his tail between his legs after Putin sent him packing, and their new modern naval flotilla just right over the horizon, the only thing that occupies their time is where to make the next stand against the West.

America needs badly, to begin returning industry to America.

We have very much, gone way overboard in sending American industry to China.

Bring home factories, and jobs, to America.

Now.

Maybe they figure now is the time, what with a traitorous eunuch in the White House and all.

Good evening.

I know that my post will get scant attention, but I have to say this...

To the Chicoms (and NORKs), it is a bad idea to make Japan militarize. It would be a very bad idea to make Japan go nuclear.

Trust me on this one.

You would think this was crystal clear, but I’m telling you, some folks still haven’t a clue when it comes to this issue.

"It would be a very bad idea to make Japan go nuclear."

I bet Japan had already figured out which way the wind is blowing. I also bet they will hand the chicoms their asses when they inevitably overplay their hand.

Even if the jobs don’t return home, we need to reduce our industry in China. It would be better to send the Chinese jobs to the Philippines, Panama, or a dozen other countries.

Remember when we used to vote for MFN status for China? No communist country should be allowed MFN status.

I know what you’re saying, but American jobs have been being sent overseas now for over an entire generation.

By both parties. Everyone’s selling out everything of value, in America.

I’m sick of it. I’m sick of both parties playing along. We are forever, tearing down the very things, which originally made America the strongest country in the entire world.

Bring back American jobs.

Now.

I’m not arguing with you in the least. I am just saying it is long overdue time, to bring back these jobs right back here to the United States.

Understanding you’re in Taiwan I believe, but you get my point I think. :D

[Tai_Chung]

I don’t think the jobs will return as we have anti-business policies. It feels like we are fighting for America against the likes of China and American liberals.

Strip China of Most Favored Nation status. There is plenty of justification for a trade war. If China decides to dump US bonds to cause a financial crisis, we should repay them with pre-WW2 Chinese bonds.

Give conservatives control of government. This is critical if you want the the jobs to come back to the US after leaving China.

The main thing we need from China and Russia is rare earth medals. I’m sure the CIA can figure out a way to acquire them.

If Japan decided tomorrow to go nuclear they’d have a working weapon by Friday. The Hello Kitty version would be on the shelf the following Monday.

[Tai_Chung]

What is public opinion about this in Japan?

It goes much beyond simply bringing back the "jobs". The jobs did not begin and end as an entity upon itself. They were merely one specific component of an industrial dynamism interlocked within the local nexus of industry, community, people, families, schools that fed the economic system with production, livelihoods, and the economic vitality that resonated not merely throughout the country but the world. Once not that long ago where stood an economic engine that fed, facilitated a thriving,vibrant living community is now an economic, demographic cess pool.

The jobs can not come back because the social, industrial underpinnings, infrastructure that brought forth the viability for these jobs to exist, be available to all those for whom hard work, giving it all their best was part of Americana, where it can be found turning and churning inside and up within the dust devils that dot the forbidden landscape, America as we had once known never to rise again. dot the landscape as

It'll never happen unless America, as a whole, wakes up and realizes how they've been duped by Washington CD over the past 6 or more years. By then, it'll probably be too late.

If China crashes the dollar their central bank, SWF’s, and entire financial system will implode. They can’t start selling without burying themselves.

Who is going to buy 3 trillion in U.S. bonds in a period of months ?

No one. China is screwed, and frankly I have no idea why they are challenging Japan except for their arrogance, which is tremendous.
