Capitalists Gang Up on China

China South China Sea http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/china-says-it-does-not-make-or-fear-trouble China does not 'make or fear trouble', top military official says at Shangri-La Dialogue Published Jun 6, 2016, 5:00 am SGT Walter Sim     Japan Correspondent China does not "make or fear trouble", a top Chinese military official said yesterday, as he warned against the "provocations of certain countries for their own selfish interests". The territorial spat over the South China Sea once again dominated the Shangri-La Dialogue, in what was becoming a geopolitical competition. Admiral Sun Jianguo, deputy chief of general staff of the People's Liberation Army, said China and Asean are perfectly capable of working together to preserve peace and stability in the waterway and iron out any differences through consultation.  [People's Liberation Army = China] "Any countries that are not directly concerned are not allowed to sabotage our path of peace for their selfish gains," he said at the security summit, which ended yesterday. The three-day event was organised by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies. Admiral Sun spoke for half an hour in a speech that did not explicitly refer to the US when criticising interference in the disputes. Dr Jonathan Pollack, a senior fellow at the Centre for East Asia Policy Studies at the US-based Brookings Institution, said that by not referring to the US, China signalled that it did not want to "let what are obviously strong bilateral differences to get so injected into the conversation that it makes any reasonable or reasoned discussion impossible". Last Saturday, US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter had warned that China's actions in the South China Sea were putting it at risk of "erecting a Great Wall of self-isolation".  [comment:  LOL ... that's their stock standard bullsh*t; it's what they say about Russia when the US capitalist target Russia for sanctions and US capitalist aggression. ] Admiral Sun yesterday rejected this notion, saying many countries have been "warmer and friendlier to me, and respect and trust me more" as compared with last year, when he also attended the summit. "We were not isolated in the past, we are not isolated and we will not be isolated," he said. He also said escalating tensions in the South China Sea were because of threats and military exercises by "some big countries", and that the levels of threat meant China needed military defence there. Admiral Sun also lashed out at the Philippines for initiating a case against China at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, saying it was in breach of a bilateral agreement and in violation of international law. China has said that it will reject the ruling, which is expected in weeks. Asked how China will respond to Philippine President-elect Rodrigo Duterte's desire to resume bilateral talks with China, Admiral Sun said he hopes Mr Duterte "can shake off the burden of the last administration and remove the obstacle to bilateral development". The disputes in the East and South China seas have caused concern beyond the region, with Canada's Minister for National Defence Harjit Singh Sajjan saying that, as a Pacific power, it wants to contribute to regional maritime security.  [comment:  Of course, the Canadian cucks want to get in on the action:  they are vassals of the same US-Anglo capitalist elites.] French Defence Minister Jean- Yves Le Drian said he will make a proposal to his European Union counterparts to coordinate patrols in Asian waters in defence of international law.  [comment:  the French are in the same US-Anglo capitalist vassal camp and the French are as shifty as sewer rats.] Professor Huang Jing, from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, said: "The Asia-Pacific has become the centre of gravity not just for economics but also for security, diplomacy and politics."  [ The Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy is associated with National University of Singapore.  There is x1 US military base in Singapore.  Report of Feb 2015:  US intends to operate x4 warships out of Singapore by 2018.  2015 - US planning on BUILDING x52 LCS vessels  @ $37 billion.  LCS = littoral combat ship (LCS) is a class of relatively small surface vessels (close to shore ops).   2012:  US announced shift of BULK of naval fleet to Pacific by 2020; strategic focus on Asia.  Note:  US is not a claimant in the territorial South China Sea dispute.  http://archive.is/QNGuo   /  Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy is based primarily in Manasseh Meyer & Oei Tiong Ham buildings.  Manasseh Meyer, Baghdad born, Jewish, Calcutta educated, Singaporean, British, businessman.  Oei Tiong Ham (d. 1924) described as Chinese Indonesian businessman; son of multinational trading company owner, born in what was Dutch East Indies (Indonesia); wealth sugar industry; money-lending or credit involved; main debtors = owners of sugar factories East Java; when unable to pay 1880s, x5 factories acquired as creditor.] He added: "What is interesting is that, on the one hand, the South China Sea is becoming a major playground for all the major powers but, on the other hand, it is exactly because of this that peace and stability are all the more important." http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/china-says-it-does-not-make-or-fear-trouble COMMENT China's South China Sea territorial dispute involves: Brunei, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan. I'm on China's side ... but I'm not very reliable. The capitalists are ganging up on China.
