A game of chicken between countries over some worthless islands.
They are not worthless. The ocean around them is oil rich.

Don,
You are thinking of the South China Sea area and the Spratly Islands, near the Philippines. See my post # 12. and this fairly accurate Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_disputes_in_the_South_China_Sea
Although there may very well be oil in the East China Sea as well, I believe this is more of China moving it’s “border” several hundred miles to the east

Kinda makes the liberals propaganda “ No Blood for oil “ when the USA goes to war for oil a mote point since Japan and China need that much important commodity.
It's only " Bad " when the USA needs it.
