(SNIP) ... Dai Xu, a People's Liberation Army Air Force colonel commandant and the president of China's Institute of Marine Safety and Cooperation, suggested at a conference in Beijing on Saturday that the Chinese navy should use force to counter US freedom-of-navigation operations in the South China Sea, Taiwan News reported.  --- CONTINUED---

Here is another thing to think about. When will they demand to be paid back from the U.S.A.

It wouldn't work the same way, unless a future US gov regime decides to sell our assets to the Chinese. Unlike Kenya, the US debts are backed by "our good name," not our real estate. Of course, an other Leftist in office could change all of that.

US is heading toward a looming maritime showdown… but not with Iran
https://www.rt.com/op-ed/459608-south-china-sea-military-iran/?fbclid=IwAR2PkzxNeSMC-rAlf8L0S0P5WS4t1m3DSbQvjBqyt9kLTu0OUgnxFwXMDoY

SNIPS:

There are many indications that the United States and China are creeping towards a potential conflict in the South China Sea. When the motivations behind this war become clear the stakes become that much more serious.

While the world is drumming up a potential maritime showdown between the US and Iran (yet again), Western media is conveniently ignoring a potential looming conflict in the South China Sea, one that has been building up for years.

“Only if the Chinese navy is sufficiently strong will US warships dare not wilfully enter China’s offshore waters to flex their muscles,” the newspaper wrote. “A strong Chinese navy is the guarantee for peace and stability of the South China Sea and even the whole world.”

As such, it does appear that China is making plans of its own should a conflict break out.

This was from last week: (Might as well add it to the thread)

‘Violation of sovereignty’: Beijing warns US incursion into South China Sea ‘undermined peace’
https://www.rt.com/news/458485-china-denounces-us-south-sea/

China Concerns 5cd02ae9fc7e93f0638b4588  
Two US warships that passed through the South China Sea violated China’s sovereignty, threatening peace and security, Beijing has said in reaction to what the US Navy called an “innocent passage” that “challenged” maritime claims.

The US guided-missile destroyers ‘Preble’ and ‘Chung Hoon’ traveled within 12 nautical miles of Gaven and Johnson Reefs in the Spratly Islands on Monday, a US military spokesperson told Reuters. The Chinese Navy reportedly asked the US vessels to leave.

Agreed. RT is not free press it's definitely heavily edited to show the states angle on events.

But as said above use it for helping formulate an opinion on what Russia/China's government thinks of an event.


IMO I've said it before and I'll say it again here, I think we are on a collision course with china and within my lifetime we will be in conflict either them. They are biding their time building up resources and patiently waiting for the right moment to make a move on Taiwan. They want to control their sphere of influence.

Agree on the rt.com site.

The reefs that China is building on are also claimed by Vietnam and Taiwan. What the U.S. should do is get with these two countries and start building on the remaining reefs. Man China would really have a bird then. Shocked

I totally agree.

I don't think we are necessarily their sworn enemy, but we are in their way of their ambitions.

If I was Australia or anywhere in the western Pacific I would be very worried.

China and N.Korea just met and I heard someone say that their intent is to put up a "united front."

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-china/kim-xi-reach-consensus-to-develop-relations-no-matter-the-international-situation-kcna-idUSKCN1TM2P2
Xi left the North Korean capital Pyongyang on Friday after a two-day visit, the first by a Chinese leader in 14 years.

China is North Korea’s only major ally and Xi’s visit was aimed at bolstering the isolated country against pressure from United Nations sanctions over its nuclear and missile programs and stalled denuclearization talks with the United States.

The visit comes a week before Xi and U.S. President Donald Trump are due to meet at a Group of 20 summit in Osaka, Japan, amid a trade dispute that has rattled global financial markets.

Interested to see what evolves next.

I think Trump unilaterally meeting Kim in NK and the DMZ was a message to china more than anyone else. Trump is telling Xi that he doesn't need his assistance and NK Won't be China's lapdog during the trade war as a tool of china.

That is very likely.
In addition, I think he was also sending a message to all the Leftists in our government, who are actively trying to undermine everything he does, that he won't play be their rules.

Top Admiral: China Missile Test a Message to US
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/admiral-navy-china-missile/2019/07/19/id/925222/

"China’s recent test of a new anti-ship ballistic missile was a show of strength and a warning to the United States, according to Admiral Philip Davidson, the commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions.

(SNIP)

"One [test] might be a coincidence, but seeing this happen twice is indeed a message not only to the United States but indeed to the whole globe," Davidson said.""]"China’s recent test of a new anti-ship ballistic missile was a show of strength and a warning to the United States, according to Admiral Philip Davidson, the commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions."

What's up with China buying up land in Southeast Asia, could this mean more military bases for China? Sounds very concerning for Southeast Asian countries and the U.S.:

https://www.janes.com/article/89995/china-test-fired-six-asbms-into-south-china-sea-usindopacom-chief-confirms

t has become clear that China test-fired six anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBMs) into the South China Sea (SCS) in late June, in light of remarks made on 18 July by US Navy Admiral Philip Davidson, the commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM), during the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado. wrote:

HatTip2  Hat Tip to John West's Blog "Daily Big Threats":

China takes aim at the US for the first time in its defence white paper
https://www.scmp.com/print/comment/opinion/article/3021273/china-takes-aim-us-first-time-its-defence-white-paper

The new Chinese defence paper describes the United States military in Asia as destabilising, as the US recasts its security architecture in the Asia-Pacific and hews its strategic horizons to the Indo-Pacific concept [4] .  

For the first time, Beijing acknowledges the US strategic shift from the “war on terror” to its rivalry with China and Russia. It acknowledges the competition between the world’s sole superpower and the fast-rising one. The paper points out that the US is building and relocating its military assets in the Western Pacific, with multilateral naval exercises with Japan, Australia, India and European navies.

HatTip2 Hat Tip to John West's Blog "Daily Big Threats":

China Vows 'Countermeasures' If US Deploys Missiles in Asia-Pacific
https://www.voanews.com/east-asia-pacific/china-vows-countermeasures-if-us-deploys-missiles-asia-pacific

Fu Cong, the director of the Foreign Ministry's arms control division, told reporters Tuesday that Beijing "will not stand idly by" if Washington follows through on a pledge made last weekend by new Defense Secretary Mark Esper to deploy the missiles in the region "sooner rather than later," preferably within months.

(SNIP)

Fu did not specify what countermeasures China would take, but said "everything is on the table."

I was unaware of this.
Also unaware of IRBM's we are deploying.
Such things are utterly useless,
so I hope that we are not doing it.

The U.S. Navy has over 1,000 nuclear missiles aboard it's submarines, enough to destroy the entire world and part of those are already patrolling in the south pacific:

So, adding more Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles is a bit redundant.
That is, unless we are building a complete Triad system, just to deal with SE Asia.

From the above link:
Of course in recent days the fact that China is completely cutting off U.S. agricultural imports has made headlines all over the globe, but at the same time China is dramatically increasing the amount of food that it is importing from the rest of the world.
The only thing I don't understand is, why are we not concentrating on exporting our food to the people who would normally get the food that china is importing.

For example, if Egypt normally gets Brazilian soybeans, and now those are going to China, why don't we export to Egypt, since they just lost their main source.

Frankly I don't know if my lack of knowledge of global trade is showing up, or if "The Powers That Be" are hiding something from us.

Again, from the above link:
So why are the Chinese suddenly stocking up on everything?

Well, the truth is that the answer to that question is quite obvious. The trade war between the United States and China is rapidly escalating, war in the Middle East could erupt at any time, the global economy has been steadily slowing down, crops are failing all over the planet, and everywhere we look we seem to see rising political instability.
While this is nothing we didn't already know, the fact that Bloomberg and Business Insider are carrying these stories tells us that the probability of a major upheaval in the next couple of years is growing.

Are you agreeing or disagreeing with Trex?

I definitely think there are things coming down the way but it could be any number of events or multiple concurrent events.

But a note right now: when you get to the "Addendum" his TDS goes on full tilt, showing that even the best of minds is vulnerable to mental illness. (And yes, TDS and Liberalism are diagnosable mental illnesses.)

It's a necessary evil. I do favor free trade. But, it has to be fair.

China was exploiting us and taking advantage of us an we simply cannot continue it

Now, in order to take the appropriate steps to correct the trade problem the end result will be one of the following;

A more competitive market
Global recession
Wae

If you're interested in Silver, you have at least a few more weeks,
I think. Maybe. (I already bought mine, years ago.)

I have an interesting 401k savings plan through my employer. I can even select very industry specific funds. One of the funds I had been buying heavily on and off is called TGLDX.  It's a gold mining, exploring, smelting and holding index fund. It's been giving some very generous returns recently.

I use that to hedge against some other funds I'm invested in (transportation, biomedical, semiconductor, IT services etc).

That is great, as a hedge against the possibility that nothing happens, and you live to a ripe old age and retire. God bless us all if we do. The way the world is going, I don't want to live more than another 10 years.

I was talking physical Gold (which I would never buy) and physical Silver, which I advocate having a small supply of for barter in a post meltdown situation. Should a prepper's personal economics go to HIAH (... in a handbasket) it is sell-able, but the real purpose is for barter.

I'm still young so I am trying to position myself for as many possible outcomes that are reasonable as I can.


But I am becoming very concerned with the economy (look at just today for example, markets are down 3%).

We have to worry about internal political instability, external geopolitical tensions, potential natural disasters, acts of god, EMP, pandemic etc..
There are so many chaotic factions that are all occurring simultaneously that could align for disasterous results. It's a very stressful time for sure .

It wouldn't work the same way, unless a future US gov regime decides to sell our assets to the Chinese. Unlike Kenya, the US debts are backed by "our good name," not our real estate. Of course, an other Leftist in office could change all of that.

I read somewhere a long time ago that the National Parks were used collateral on the loans.?????????

So why are the Chinese suddenly stocking up on everything?

Well, the truth is that the answer to that question is quite obvious.  The trade war between the United States and China is rapidly escalating, war in the Middle East could erupt at any time, the global economy has been steadily slowing down, crops are failing all over the planet, and everywhere we look we seem to see rising political instability.
While this is nothing we didn't already know, the fact that Bloomberg and Business Insider are carrying these stories tells us that the probability of a major upheaval in the next couple of years is growing.

TRex, I'll bet ya a beer the major upheaval happens within the next 15 months.

Could be true. The ones that want a One World Guberment will do anything to get rid of the Orange Man.

The "Space Guys" are moving a previously retired GEOS satellite across the Pacific. It will be over Indonesia sometime around the end of next month (if that is it's destination, but who knows).

If it continues onward, it will be South of Iran by Christmas.

China developed a missile that travels 25 times the speed of sound (mach 25) and can reach the U.S. in 30 minutes with 10 nuclear warheads attached. Shocked  I don't think the U.S. has any defense against this one:

Basically, Russia's and China's newest "hypersonic" missiles are simply ICBM's with the ability to maneuver in mid and late course flight (previous ones had very limited ability for coarse correction).

Our defense against any Intermediate or Intercontinental ballistic missile is iffy, and this maneuvering ability just makes things worse for us. Now we won't even be sure where the targets are until the missile reenters the atmosphere.

It is truly bad, although it won't surprise me to have to constantly correct the MSM on the science of why it is bad.

Hat Tip  Hat Tip to John West, over at his blog "Daily Big Threats":

Wait, China Has TWO Hypersonic Missiles?
https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/wait-china-has-two-hypersonic-missiles-101422

China is testing two hypersonic surface-to-surface missiles and not one as previously reported, state media claimed. If true, the development of a second munition capable of traveling at least five times the speed of sound while maneuvering could weigh on the balance of power in the Pacific region.  ---CONTINUED---

The good news is that, while China is rapidly expanding its military, their economy is on the brink of total collapse, just as USSR was in the late '80's.

The bad news is that there is no guarantee that they won't decide to "go down in flames," and take us with them.

China deploys long-range rocket launchers in western theatre command as ‘deterrent to India’
https://theprint.in/defence/china-deploys-long-range-rocket-launchers-in-western-theatre-command-as-deterrent-to-india/642830/

A report in PLA Daily says the brigade is located 5,200m above sea level in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, but does not specify the type or firing range of the weapon.

China just recently threatened to nuke Japan and warned the US and Taiwan to be ready to be crushed at any moment.


Weird the news has failed to report such outrageous war mongering statements of their commie overlords.

No surprise Drink, the fake news media is in joe crow's left pocket and joe crow, his family and major corporations are in China's right pocket

China loves to fear monger, they're testing joe crow and his minions, and sleepy joe is at sleep at the wheel. We may be in trouble.

In another thread, I said if I were China and Russia, I would take Hong Kong, Taiwan, and if joe crow does nothing, then it would be Guam and Hawaii. CHECK MATE.
