Russia and China Veto Syria Resolution

“Russia and China were the only permanent Security Council members opposing the draft, reminding others that it was not their place to intervene in another country’s domestic affairs.”

Under international law, it’s illegal. Russia’s UN envoy Vitaly Churkin said

In response, US envoy Susan Rice said she was “disgusted” by vetoes “prop(ping) up desperate dictators.” French ambassador Gerard Araud said “history will judge (Assad supporters) harshly.”

US criticizes Russia, China on Syria

Sun Feb 5, 2012 5:31AM GMT
The United States has criticized Russia and China for vetoing a UN Security Council resolution on Syria calling for Syrian President Bashar al Assad to resign and hand over power to opposition leaders.

“The United States is disgusted that a couple of members of this Council continue to prevent us from fulfilling our sole purpose,” US Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice claimed.

"For months, this council has been held hostage by a couple of members," Rice added.

Russia and China were the only members of the UN council that rejected the anti-Syria resolution, endorsed by the US and its Arab allies. Russia and China had vetoed a similar resolution on Syria in October.

Russia and China brave Arab and Western fury to veto UN resolution on Syria

It was the two countries’ second use of their security council vetoes to shield the Syrian leader from UN condemnation since the uprising against his rule began last year, and came despite worldwide outrage at the slaughter of up to 330 people in Homs during the previous night.

The five hour shelling of the rebellious city’s civilian population, in which 99 women and children were reportedly among those killed, was the worst single act of violence in the 11 month-long uprising.

Russia said it could not support a resolution backing an Arab League plan for a swift transition of power and elections. It was understood to have demanded a last-minute change dropping a call, already agreed by Syria in November, for tanks and artillery to be withdrawn from the streets.

Attacking or Threatenting Iran Makes No Sense (Key Points)

FOX news is now reporting an actual timeline for the up coming attack on Iran by Israel. America is backing it.

Panetta concerned Israel months from striking Iran

It is also widely known that Israel sought clearance from Secretary of Defense Gates to bomb Iran in July 2008 and were turned away. Any future attack by Israel will clearly suggest U.S. permission, whether it is given in fact or not. David E. Sanger, “U.S. Rejected Aid for Israeli Raid on Iranian Nuclear Site,” The New York Times, January 11, 2009.

Russia, China veto UN Security Council resolution on Syria

The United Nations Security Council has just voted on a draft resolution concerning the ongoing violence in Syria.

Of the voting members, Russia and China were the only ones to vote against the draft, but as permanent members of the UNSC they both hold veto power, and the resolution has not been passed as a result.

The news follows days of heated political debates in the UNSC, with many members supporting a Western-backed draft calling for foreign nations to put an end to what some called the “Syrian killing machine.”

Russia and China were the only permanent Security Council members opposing the draft, reminding others that it was not their place to intervene in another country's domestic affairs.

The Beginning of the End for the U.S. Dollar as the World Reserve Currency

Dark times lie ahead for the U.S. dollar as its future as the world's reserve currency looks to be in great jeopardy. For more than 50 years the U.S. dollar has been the chief monetary instrument used by the nations of the world to facilitate trade involving commodities such as petroleum, manufactured products, and gold. But the times are changing and many of these nations, with China at the forefront, are finalizing trade agreements that utilize only their own currencies.

China and Russia on Iran's Side

The potential for East-West conflict over Iran is that Russia and China have both given strong indications of being on Iran's side. With China, there is this report. The level of Chinese support goes beyond words and economic sanctions. It goes to military aid and prospective military support. Several high-level officials in Russia have criticized sanctions as well as any attack in quite strong language, suggesting "catastrophe" and unknown but large ramifications. The West's sanctions are backfiring already as Iran arranges oil sales in non-dollar currencies. They are backfiring by creating support for Iran among states outside of Europe and the U.S.

China infuriated by US-Philippines defense plans

The US decision to station forces in the Philippines could have dangerous repercussions. Beijing may enact economic sanctions after Manila invited in US troops in response to an escalating territorial dispute over the South China Sea.

Dr. Pak-Nung Wong of the City University of Hong Kong told RT that the Philippines is merely cashing in on America's move.

“At the international level, the Philippines knows that the US has definitely returned to Asia – refocusing its military and security deployment in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, targeting China and Iran as the primary security concern,” he said.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Let us hope that ultimately, cooler heads in Beijing and DC will prevail on this move by the US.

But there is one thing that those in the bowels of power in DC, Tel Aviv, and Geneva need to realize; Chinese military leadership has gone on record as stating that they will unhesitatingly start World War III to avoid losing the oil they need from Iran.

According to NDTV, a Chinese news station based outside the country, in regard to recent speculation that Iran would be the target of a US-Israeli military assault, Major General Zhang Zhaozhong commented that, "China will not hesitate to protect Iran even with a third world war," remarks described as "puzzling to some". The news report also quotes Professor Xia Ming as paraphrasing Zhaozhong's quote that, "not hesitating to fight a third world war would be entirely for domestic political needs."

I would not characterize this strong language as "puzzling"; this general was simply making the case for what he believes would be in China's best interests, if the US and Israel are insane enough to initiate such a military misadventure.

And in recent years, unfortunately, sanity has had a rather distant relationship to US foreign policy.

I would, therefore, respectfully request that the US, NATO, and Israeli military and civilian leadership take this person at his word.

Iran Embargo May Speed Refinery Closures

The European Union’s embargo on Iranian oil threatens to accelerate refinery closures in Europe, the head of Italy’s refiners’ lobby said.

“Asian countries not applying the embargo could buy the Iranian oil at a discount and sell cheap refined products back to us,” Piero De Simone, general manager of Unione Petrolifera, said in an interview in Rome yesterday. “Italy already risks the closure of five refineries and at a European level we’re talking about 70 possible shut downs.”

Webmaster's Commentary: 

All the US/EU oil embargo against Iran can do is wreck the already fragile economies of the US and EU. China has already contracted for additional supertankers to bring more of Iran's oil to China, to power their manufacturing growth (and re-sell refined products back to Europe at a huge profit). This is why the US and EU, having hoisted on their own petard/embargo, have to find an excuse to blitzkrieg Iran and take the oil fields, while making it look like Iran's fault, to forestall Russia and China entering the war on Iran's side.

Apple has almost $100B in cash...exemplifies what is wrong with the world

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) had a big day today. Defying expectations, they posted record revenues and earnings in the first quarter of 2012. This is an amazing feat in spite of a global recession which has particularly hit the US middle class.

Apple posted revenues of $46.33B and a net profit of $13.06B for the quarter representing $13.87 earnings per share. They were able to generate $16B in cash equivalents totaling $37.9B for the year. Apple currently has on hand almost $100 Billion in cash ($97.6B) which would make it the 58th largest economy in the world!

Obviously, fans of Apple and unchecked capitalism everywhere should be proud! Unfortunately, what bodes well for Apple may not bode well for the planet.

For the record, I do not feel that it is completely fair to pick on Apple alone. Apple is one product of a broken system that rewards short term thinking and lack of true innovation, does not penalize excessive waste of planetary resources and treats humans as slave labor.

Just about any other technology company, clothing company, kitchenware company etc. will provide a similar example. Apple just tends to exemplify every facet of what is wrong with society.

China, Russia, India and Iran sign bilateral trade agreements eroding US currency reserve status

Since World War II, the United States has enjoyed the status of having the world’s reserve currency. After the war, the largest industrial nations got together in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire to work out rules for commercial and financial relations. Each nation adopted a monetary policy which tied its currency to the US dollar. At the time, US dollars were convertible to gold on demand, making for a sound currency and system.

In the late 60?s, the costs of the Vietnam war were escalating and France was worried that the US would not be able to cover their debts. French President Charles DeGaulle began converting their US debt into gold. This depleted the US Treasury and in 1971, President Nixon declared “force majeure” and essentially defaulted on US debt. This was done by ending the convertibility of US dollars to gold thus making the US dollar a fiat currency.

As US aircraft carrier groups gather in the Arabian Sea, a showdown between Iran and the West is rumbling on. If a war erupts, this will be another upshot of the US pursuit of absolute national security.

Mainstream forces in Washington are trying to sell a ludicrous standpoint to the American people: that it is worthwhile to bear financial costs and even lose some lives to confront lurking dangers to US security in the Middle East.

This is not a rational analysis, but rather a pious belief in US politics. With an appetite for national security causes, the US becomes increasingly meticulous in eliminating potential challenges.

Selling the Talmud as a Business Guide

Jewish visitors to China often receive a snap greeting when they reveal their religion: “Very smart, very clever, and very good at business,” the Chinese person says. Last year’s Google Zeitgeist China rankings listed “why are Jews excellent?” in fourth place in the “why” questions category, just behind “why should I enter the party” and above “why should I get married?” (Google didn’t publish a "why" category in Mandarin this year.) And the apparent affection for Jewishness has led to a surprising trend in publishing over the last few years: books purporting to reveal the business secrets of the Talmud that capitalize on the widespread impression among Chinese that attributes of Judaism lead to success in the financial arts.

Hu’s call for war joins Chinese Rear Admiral and prominent military commentator Zhang Zhaozhong who, likewise, warned this past week that: “China will not hesitate to protect Iran even with a Third World War,” and Russian General Nikolai Makarov who grimly stated last week: “I do not rule out local and regional armed conflicts developing into a large-scale war, including using nuclear weapons.”

The West Blinks - Iran Embargo Likely To Be Delayed By Six Months

EU IRAN OIL EMBARGO SAID TO BE LIKELY DELAYED BY SIX MONTHS

Why? Because the world slowly realized that the potential surge in oil prices would tip a world already on the verge of a recession even deeper into economic contraction. Not rocket science, but certainly something the US president apparently has been unable to comprehend, especially if hoping that he would merely transfer exports from Iran to his close ally Saudi Arabia which would cement its European market monopoly even further. Or, perhaps, someone just explained to Obama that Embargo in January + QE3 in March = No Reelection...

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Europe and Japan just yanked the legs out from the plan to provoke Iran with oil sanctions. The US Government will likely not raise on this busted flush because Ron Paul's success in the primaries, despite the concerted efforts of the corporate media, the GOP, and Israel, has sent a clear and unambiguous message to the status quo that starting yet another war for Israel is going to cost incumbents their jobs come November.

In short, unless Israel starts to act like Nazis Israelis and blow something up and claim Iran did it, we just stepped back from the edge of total global war.

Hopefully, Israel's government will realize that a false-flag attack, either bombing something in the US or attacking a ship in the gulf, will be presumed an Israeli false-flag. After all, with the sanctions DOA, Iran has no reason to shut down the Straights of Hormuz, which leaves the US with no reason to attack Iranian assets, which means Iran has no reason to attack a US ship. That makes it very hard for Israel to sell a new false-flag attack.

Beijing rejects sanctions on Iranian oil

Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, visiting Beijing this week, is expected to press China’s leaders to reduce the country’s oil imports from Iran. But Geithner is likely to find Beijing resistant to putting financial pressure on the government in Tehran.

China will buy as much oil as Iran wishes to sell. So will Russia. So all these sanctions will accomplish is to cause shortages, hardship, and suffering for Americans and Europeans, while driving Iran further into alliance with China and Russia.

Once Derided as an Expensive Folly, China’s Three Gorges Dam Goes From Strength to Strength

Located on the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in Hubei Province, the Three Gorges Dam is now the world's largest water control and hydropower project, consisting of a 7,661 foot-long, 594 foot -high dam, a five-tier ship lock, with 26 hydropower turbo-generators generating 20,300 megawatts. Only Brazil’s Itaipu dam produces more electricity.

In addition to generating electricity, the Three Gorges Dam controls floods by storing excess water and helps to regulate the Yangtze's shipping capacity.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

What is interesting is that while environmentalists admit that hydro-electric is the cleanest means of producing electricity, they were still whining about this dam while it was being built. Yet you never see an environmentalist attack beavers for building dams. They see beavers and beaver dams as a part of nature, but not man and man's dams. What this reveals about the extremist environmentalists is their own self-hatred turned against the rest of mankind.

A new Reserve currency to challenge the dollar – What’s really going on in The Straits of Hormuz.

By David Malone
I think the stand-off with Iran in the Straits of Hormuz over sanctions is as much to do with the moves to replace the dollar as anything else. The standoff is as much with China and its allies as it is specifically with Iran. The US is testing China’s nerve and the solidity of its network of bilateral currency settlement agreements. We are seeing military power deployed to counter economic power. I think the US will lose. Depending on the nature of its loss we could see a precipitate decline in the standing of the dollar as global reserve currency.

China said Wednesday it opposed "unilateral" sanctions against Iran, after US President Barack Obama signed into law new measures targeting the Islamic republic's central bank.

Washington's move came after the United States, Britain and Canada said in November they were slapping additional sanctions on Iran, citing evidence that Tehran is pursuing nuclear weapons.

Tehran denies the allegations, saying its nuclear programme is exclusively for medical and power generation purposes, and China has repeatedly said sanctions will not resolve the issue.

"China opposes placing one's domestic law above international law and imposing unilateral sanctions against other countries," said foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei in response to a question about US sanctions on Iran.

H5N1 Bird Flu Strikes China Following Bioterrorism Study Release Controversy

Anthony Gucciardi
Activist Post

A Chinese man infected with the H5N1 bird flu virus died on Saturday, marking China’s first case of the disease in humans in 18 months.

The news comes just days after the United States government frantically acted to block the full publishing of research that successfully mutated the H5N1 virus to be highly contagious...

'Invading Iran is invading Russia, China'

A political analyst says Russia and China consider a US military action on Iran as an attack on their own borders and a threat to their own national security.

“The US is assuming that Russia or China will not respond militarily, but they've been wrong before,” Shamus Cooke wrote on the Global Research website.

Cooke explained that when former US president George W. Bush gave the green light to the then President of Georgia Mikheil Saakahvili to attack South Ossetia in 2008, “Russia surprised everyone by responding militarily and crushing Georgia's invasion.”

“Attacking Syria and/or Iran opens the door to a wider regional or even international war,” Cooke stressed.

Maybe that war with China isn't so far off

The year 2011 has been a tough one for Sino-United States ties. And 2012 does not look like it's going to be a good year either, with a presidential election year in the United States. For both the Democratic and Republican parties, bashing the Chinese economic, military and freedom-averse menace will probably be a campaign-trail staple.

Lunch-pail issues - protectionism and the undervalued yuan - will focus disapproving US eyes.

Tensions will also be exacerbated by the Barack Obama administration's "return to Asia" - a return to proactive containment of China - and the temptation to apply dangerous and destabilizing new doctrine, preventive diplomacy, to China.

The potential for friction certainly exists.

China and Japan plan direct currency exchange agreement

China and Japan have unveiled plans to promote direct exchange of their currencies in a bid to cut costs for companies and boost bilateral trade.

The deal will allow firms to convert the Chinese and Japanese currencies directly into each other.

Currently businesses in both countries need to buy US dollars before converting them into the desired currency, adding extra costs.

It is the latest step by China as it seeks a more global role for the yuan.

"Given the huge size of the trade volume between Asia's two biggest economies, this agreement is much more significant than any other pacts China has signed with other nations," Ren Xianfang of IHS Global Insight was quoted as saying by the Bloomberg news agency.

China ‘to face more Wukan-style protests’

A senior Communist official who helped defuse a rare revolt by villagers in southern China said the country should be ready for more protests as people demand their rights, state media reported Tuesday.

Zhu Mingguo compared the situation in the village of Wukan, where residents angered by years of illegal land grabs drove out their Communist leaders, to an apple that appears healthy but is “rotten to the core”.

“The task of managing the masses is becoming more and more difficult.”

Webmaster's Commentary: 

"...managing the masses..."?!?

Breaking: Patriot Missiles Seized, Sold To China by Israel

Attempts to represent this as a sale of “second hand” PAC 2 missiles, stories filling the blogosphere, fail to address that these are PAC 3 advanced missiles and labeled for shipment to China, not Korea.

The next stop for this cargo, valued at over $4 billion even without the associated radar, which may well have been shipped via some other method, was Shanghai, China.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

So, the US taxpayer shells out $4 billion to give Israel Patriot Missiles to protect them from the mean ol' Palestinians, then turns around and SELLS those state-of-the-art missiles to China, which can then reverse-engineer those missiles and build a matching missile system without paying the research and development costs. This is as great a g=betrayal as when Israel gave the US nuclear secrets stolen by Jonathan Pollard to the Soviet Union. And of course Israel will claim anyone criticizing this betrayal is just being an anti-Semite!

Chinese police ‘fire tear-gas and beat protesters’

Police fired tear-gas and beat demonstrators who stormed government buildings in southern China on Tuesday to protest against a power plant, witnesses said, in the latest violent unrest to hit the country.

Residents of Haimen, a town in the province of Guangdong, are demanding the coal-fired plant be moved, saying it is damaging their health, demonstrators told AFP by telephone.

They said a 15-year-old boy had been killed and more than 100 others badly beaten by riot police, although this could not be independently confirmed.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

The Chinese government had better figure out a better way to handle these demonstrations, other than tear gas and beatings; because, as in the case with other social justice movements, abuse by the police is simply going to make those movements stronger, and more angry. At this point, these demonstrators cannot be cowed into meekly go back to their jobs.

This is also because brutality like this will inevitably get caught on cell cameras, go viral around the world, and make the Chinese government look like a consummate bully in terms of how they treat their citizens.

I am certain that the social justice groups in China are just as concerned about the wealth disparity between corrupt party officials and their minions as are members of the Occupy movement here in the US, and elsewhere.

U.S. Policies Motivate Iran to Obtain a Nuclear Weapon

How could the U.S. behave so recklessly, not realize it was responsible for the atomic arms race and for allowing and even moving others to obtain the bomb?

Answers to both these questions expose an almost purposeful U.S. policy to drive others to obtain the “doomsday explosive” and, if we concede the Islamic Republic is developing a bomb, give meaning to Iran’s determination to develop a nuclear weapon.

A simple proposition can deaden that determination, and not only for Iran; the world’s major powers can give any nation that entertains a “first strike” a rethink – do it and get demolished.

Chinese villagers threaten to march on government offices

Protesting villagers in southern China said Sunday they will march on government offices this week unless the body of a local leader is released and four villagers in police custody are freed.

The 13,000 residents of Wukan, in the wealthy province of Guangdong, are in open revolt against officialdom and have driven out local Communist Party leaders who they say have been stealing their land for years.

The villagers appear to be winning support from the public, with the first confirmed protest backing them held in the provincial capital Guangzhou on Sunday. The three demonstrators there were detained by police.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Good on the Chinese citizens of Wukan!

The Chinese government now has a dilemma on its hands; to either order another Tiananmen Square, or publicly try these officials for corruption; there's no middle ground here.

And to those who advocate a "kill switch" to the internet in this country, please note; every effort the Chinese Government made, via their Great Firewall, failed to prevent the blocking of this news and attracting public sympathy to these villagers' plight.

Last Post in Iraq: this is the death knell of the American empire

What was intended to be a demonstration of power turned into the most costly boomerang in history, in both blood and treasure.

So the Yanks are going home. Apart from the thousands of their servicemen and women whose lifeblood they are leaving in the sands of Iraq, and the tens of thousands too maimed or otherwise damaged to make it back to home and hearth. And minus the trillion-plus of dollars in treasure they have expended on destroying an Arab country (which may have lost a million souls and seen three millions off into exile), fanning the flames of fanaticism, making Iran more powerful, and unleashing a wave of sectarianism throughout the Muslim world.

High-seas stabbing of Korean commando worsens ties with China

Seething tensions between China and South Korea over fishing in the Yellow Sea escalated Tuesday with the killing of a South Korean coast guard commando by the captain of a Chinese fishing vessel in hotly disputed waters.

South Korean coast guard commandos finally subdued the captain, and seized his vessel and eight-man crew, said South Korean officials, but not until the leader of the commando team was mortally wounded and another team member was injured. The dying commando and the injured team member were flown to the port city of Incheon, approximately 100 miles to the east, in the same helicopter with the Chinese fishing boat captain.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Cooler heads in Seoul and Beijing have got to resolve these issues intelligently and responsibly.

It is of absolutely no benefit to either country to have a war over the Yellow Sea and South China Sea. There are also issues of oil development close to the Spratly Islands. These issues need to be resolved by treaty.

China announces Indian Ocean naval base in

China on Monday announced setting up its first naval base abroad at Seychelles in the Indian Ocean. The former British colony, Seychelles, lies in parallel to the Maldives and the US-British base Diego Garcia in the East, the Somalian coast of Africa in the West, Gulf of Aden/ entrance to the Red Sea in the north, and Indian dominated Mauritius as well as the French colony Reunion in the South. While the Chinese defence ministry announced that its Navy would seek supplies and recuperate facilities through the base, the Seychelles foreign minister said that his country had invited China to set the base to fight against piracy.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

This is indeed a coup for the Chinese government, and at a very strategic location.

Obama Raises the Military Stakes: Confrontation on the Borders with China and Russia

After suffering major military and political defeats in bloody ground wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, failing to buttress long-standing clients in Yemen, Egypt and Tunisia and witnessing the disintegration of puppet regimes in Somalia and South Sudan, the Obama regime has learned nothing: Instead he has turned toward greater military confrontation with global powers, namely Russia and China. Obama has adopted a provocative offensive military strategy right on the frontiers of both China and Russia .

Overview: Israeli spying

Israel runs one of the world’s most aggressive and damaging espionage networks against the U.S.

One senior American diplomat explains that inside the State Department “everybody knows that Israel spies on us. When someone is caught, they’re ‘punished’ by being promoted.”

Many analysts feel that the United States-Israel military assistance entanglement – what we give, sell, and especially what is stolen – is an unaffordable and unjustifiable burden on every American citizen.

The Great Chinese-Iranian Stealth Reconnaissance Drone Theft Caper

Imagine the young Airman joystick in hand, and his commander at Nellis trying to capture images of any collection of buildings, gas stations, or old tires in the desert, then use these images to convince the world that the site in the photo was an Iranian nuclear weapons facility, but suddenly the Stealth drone has a mind of its own and is off mission. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise: to quote Gomer Pyle. This secret spy mission to create photographic proof of Iranian nuclear intentions has gone horribly wrong.

China is the country of origin for many, many of the semiconductors used by the US Military; it was most likely that China provided the hardware with the secret backdoor that allowed the Iranians to seize control of the Stealth drone while the drone was on a secret CIA mission over Iran. Working together, they captured a state of the art US Military stealth aircraft.

What this means to all US Military personnel serving anywhere in the world? It means that control of any electronics system in any type of platform, can be seized and used against the military that launched it.

The Incarnations of China

The philosophical undercurrents of Chinese society has always been reverence to the past,societal duty based on position, and a desire for social harmony.

Although fiercely resistant to territorial incursions, the Chinese use force as a last resort. They have a high regard for education, artistic ability, and wisdom. Churchill once said “Beware the sleeping dragon, for when she wakes the earth will shake”. With a society that can be melded together like no other, a leadership style that conveys a long political tenure with a high education, and a cultural philosophy that places non interference in external affairs with a cultural business sense, China is in a strong position to make Churchill’s words prophetic.

One Alarming Indicator From China

Put simply, every year since 2005, more than 50% of China's GDP has consisted of construction-related spending. The law of diminishing marginal returns says this simply cannot continue.

One alarming indicator is that the Chinese renminbi has traded down to the lower limit of its strictly controlled trading band for SEVEN TRADING SESSIONS IN A ROW.

This suggests that there is more money leaving China than being earned from overseas trade or invested there. The exchange rate may be only one simple indicator, but it's a great barometer for what is going on: China is not going to be the savior of the global economy, but rather another casualty.

Dec 09 11:02

One alarming indicator from China

For a few decades now, the Communist Party in China has had an implicit social and political contract with the Chinese populous for decades, which goes something like:

"We will deliver economic growth and improvements in your material living standards. You will meekly do as you are told, refrain from dissent, work hard, save a huge percentage of your money, and ignore obvious corruption."

While nearly everyone in China has benefited to some degree under this current "system," the wheels are definitely starting to come off. Official GDP numbers are now slowing, real estate prices are falling, and inflation is quickening.

Our American Defense Dept – Where Is It When You Really Need It

When Budgets Cuts Slice Your Own Throat

This counterfeit and ‘unusually sourced’ Defense Department parts problem has been with us a long time.

As a cost savings measure during the Clinton Defense Department budget reductions there began an ‘off the shelf’ lowest cost procurement program, primarily for replacement parts. It did not take long for fake parts to begin entering the supply chain, and then become a flood.

With all the money we spend on ‘security’, to leave your electronics supply chain wide open for infiltration like this…there are hardly words to describe it.

China's Hu urges navy to prepare for combat

Chinese President Hu Jintao on Tuesday urged the navy to prepare for military combat, amid growing regional tensions over maritime disputes and a US campaign to assert itself as a Pacific power.

The navy should "accelerate its transformation and modernisation in a sturdy way, and make extended preparations for military combat in order to make greater contributions to safeguard national security," he said.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Given the US recent belligerency in the region, it would be imprudent for China's military to not be modernizing, and developing their weaponry.

China Cuts Reserve Ratios as Europe Crisis Threatens Growth

China cut the amount of cash that banks must set aside as reserves for the first time since 2008 as Europe's debt crisis dims the outlook for exports and growth.

Reserve ratios will decline by 50 basis points effective Dec. 5, the People's Bank of China said in a statement on its website today. Before the announcement, the level was a record 21.5 percent for the biggest lenders, based on past statements.

The government moved before a report tomorrow that may show manufacturing contracted for the first time since February 2009 and after stocks tumbled today by the most in almost four months. Easing in the nation that contributes most to global growth may boost confidence as Europe's debt crisis worsens and the region's banks face a funding squeeze.

Realpolitik drama unfolds in the South China Sea

As one Asian analyst put it, "pressure can be good; but too much pressure can crack the fragile security architecture and split ASEAN." While several ASEAN countries supported the U.S. move, some had reservations. Predictably, the Philippines supported the U.S. "pivot" and involvement in the South China Sea disputes. But other ASEAN members were more wary, including Singapore and Malaysia.

Placing fractures in ASEAN was the design intent of US foreign policy moves toward China here.

"NAFTA of the Pacific" and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP): Washington's Hidden Agenda is to Isolate and Subordinate China

The US aims to isolate and subordinate China in part through constructing a region-wide legal regime that serves the interests of, and is enforceable by, the US and its corporations.” It is interesting to note that many of the current TPP partners, including new prospective members support U.S. foreign policy initiatives. This ties in nicely with the Obama administration’s plans of expanding alliances and military bases in the Asia-Pacific region in an effort to contain China’s rising power.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

This is the overture to the "cold war" which may well precede a "hot war" against China, to attempt to get US debt to China nullified, which is huge right now, and the US Federal government doesn't have the means to pay it back.

Nov 29 10:16

Obama is provoking China into a trade war: Expert

It was billed as a new, bold President Obama who stood up to a rising China to reassert America`s power in the Asia-Pacific region. President Obama took a hard line at the recent Asian leaders summit in Bali, Indonesia, chastising China for not "playing by the rules".

But many in China do not view Obama`s recent assertiveness as a display of power but weakness. They view the President as desperate to find scapegoats to get votes in next year`s 2012 presidential election.

A rising chorus in China also thinks America is determined to keep China down, so they are pushing the government to respond forcefully. Obama runs the risk of precipitating a trade war or worse as a response.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

The Federal government owes China one heck of a lot of money.

According to the Department of the Treasury/Federal Reserve Board, the United States government owes China $895.2 billion. This debt comes mainly in the form of U.S. Treasury Securities, or bonds. Read more: How much money does the U.S. government owe China? | Answerbag http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/2108195#ixzz1f7DmC2VG

That's a lot of zeroes, any way you slice it. The US government cannot possibly pay this money back.

By goading China into not a trade war, but a "hot" war, IF the US is successful in such a military misadventure, that debt goes away.
