1 Yuuuppp, 'tis NORTH KOREA'S "DEATH" in time, which IMO Pyongyang recognizes even they don't want to officially/publicly say it.

As wid the Cold War USSR, to be a true GLOBAL, SUPERPOWER [POST-US?] China must be able to effec project power effectively + routinely into the US-NATO's backyard, which for China is the deep Pacific + Hawaii, US West Coast, THUS CHINA'S INTENTIONS TO EXERT POWER + INFLUENCE FROM OKINAWA [Ryukyus] + DAOYUS [East China Sea] TO TAIWAN + NORTHERN PHILIPPINES [Nanshas,etc. = South China Sea]. For now, it will not oppose Russia's milpol control of the North China Sea = SEAS of JAPAN, OKHOTSK + SAKHALIN + espec SOUTH KURILES.

Beijing also needs a secure East China Sea to pump in water to offset LT drought, + defects in its Three Gorges Dam, related projects.

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > SEVERE DROUGHT PARCHES SOUTH CHINA: MANY LAKES "DEAD".

* SAME > CHINA ADMITS ITS THREE GORGES DAM PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING [enduring]DROUGHT | CHINA'S PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO MOUNT AT THREE GORGES DAM, vee ...
> Massive displacement of local population.
> Damage, loss of many ancient Cultural sites.
> Region prone to natural Land/Mudslides, as now
affected by Three Gorges project.
> WEIGHT OF WATER = may induce Tohoku-Sendai Japan-style Earthquakes. Three Gorges designed to handle only MAG 6-7.0 Qaukes, NOT Tohoku-style MAG 9.0's or higher.
> INCREASE IN CORRUPTIONISM as per illegal siphoning of $$$ meant for Three Gorges development + operation.

* TOPIX > CHINA FACING WORST ENERGY SHORTAGE IN YEARS | CHINA'S ENERGY SHORTAGE COULD LAST FOR YEARS [+ decades]

IMO, espec iff the OWG-NWO Perts clusterfuck the math as per "PEAK OIL/ENERGY/FOOD/RESOURCES".

versus

* DEFENCE FORUM INDIA > JAPAN + CHINA: A NEW BEGINNING, albeit likely not as desired or pre-calculated. JAPAN FACING A"MOMENT OF TRUTH" AS TO WHETHER IT WILL REMAIN A GLOBAL POWER OR NOT.

ARTIC = Post-03/11, Tohoku-Sendai Event JAPAN is curren in a WEAK STRATEGIC POSITION VEE A RISING CHINA THAT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO GIVE LESS TO JAPAN + WORLD WHILE DEMANDING, GETTING MORE FROM SAME???

2 What they call the "East Sea" is what we call the Yellow Sea. Hardly surprising to see China moving to dominate this area, it's like the Gulf of Mexico or something. It's like Hitler annexing Austria, it's just waiting to happen.

3 It would be good for China's rulers to turn their attention more inward for a bit -- there's an awful lot for them to fix before their Little Emperor generation gets so old they are absorbing resources rather than generating them.

4 JM you are spot on. I believe you have covered most of what I believe are many serious problems for China to overcome. We have the resources and what is left of capitalism. We have the opportunity to work with them using capitalism as the engine of growth necessary to overcome both countries problems. Capitalism is the language we all can understand. We must develop all resources available to us to their fullest potential. That includes our people. We have wasted too much time already. A synergy that could produce the greatest growth the world has ever seen. When results are demonstrated other nations will join the ban wagon(each will have it's own culture nothing lost). Each will have a part to play but capitalism is the heart and core of the engine(limit government interference). Yes it will be feared and misunderstood. The race of humankind has no other choice. We cannot stop but must reach for the stars. This has no ending.
Then if we are at an end we are no more.

5 DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > NO DEAL ON GWADAR PORT [takeover], SAYS CHINA, as per FM Spox Jiang Yu.

versus

* SAME > CHINA'S UTILITIES CUT ENERGY PRODUCTION DEFYING BEIJING.

Chin's energy sector unable to meet costs of Beijing's mandated requirements, espec as per
"King Coal" - IIUC, EITHER THEY CUT BACK, OR BEIJING = CPC PAYS MORE IN PUBLIC SUBSIDIES, WHIHC BEJING IS RELUCTANT TO DO GIVEN COMMIE CENTRAL PLANNING.

* SAME > RUSSIA SAYS FIFTH [1/5th] OF DEFENCE BUDGET STOLEN, due to various nefarious/corrupt interests.

* WAFF > CHINA REORGANIZES FOR DISASTER.

Good - as one way or another both the US + China will find out come Year 2040 how well our OWG-NWO Perts did their collective "PEAK OIL/RESOURCES" = "PEAK EVERYTHING" MATH + ANALYSES.

D *** NG IT, SUPPORT YOUR CABLE TV, GPS, SKYNET, + SPACENET-CAPABLE ROBOT WATER BUFFALO CARTS + SOLYENT WATER LLC'S!

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > [US DNI] US INTEL OFFICIAL: NORTH KOREA MISSLE REACH WILL [eventually = ultimately] EXTEND TO USA.

By extension, ditto also for IRAN since it has both the DPRK + Pakistan for Missle, Nuke techs.

And China's "little brother" + BFF PAK has helped train anti-Beijing Uighur Militants.

CHINA > NUCLEAR UIGHURS?, versus NUCLEAR DPRK, OTHER ISLAMIST-LED NUC TERROR!?

Clock goes tick... tick ...tick ...

6 WAFF > GLOBAL HAWK "ESSENTIAL TO [US] NATIONAL SECURITY".

ARTIC = In terms of operating range, both the US F-18 Hornet carrier strikefighter + its desired successor the F-35 is inferior to the unmanned Global Hawk.

Prompt Global Strike + Orbit/SpaceStrike.
