The Chinese Navy - or the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) - has been aggressively beefing up its naval forces and is now urging them to be ready for combat. But with who?
A number of potential targets are on China's radar from its former nemesis, Japan, to countries circling the South China Sea like the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia. China has to keep its economy pumping, despite reports that its internal municipal debt approaches a Greek like sovereign debt bubble, with a massive real estate bubble and increasing unrest from a population underserved by its Communist masters in Zhongnanhai's Maoist compound.

U.S. - China Tensions Heating Up |

The plot of "Stealing Thunder" deals with the rising tensions in the Pacific Rim between Communist China and the United States and - in particular - over disputes to rich oil and natural gas territory in the South China Sea. So here's the headline from Reuters:
REUTERS: Tension between the United States and China spilled over into meetings of Asia-Pacific leaders on Friday as the two countries jostled over how to handle competing claims to the South China Sea.
PANDORA'S BOX?
Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei are the other claimants to parts of the South China Sea, a major route for some $5 trillion in trade each year and potentially rich in resources.
The Southeast Asian countries along with the United States and Japan, are pressuring China to try to seek some way forward on the knotty issue of sovereignty, which has flared up again this year with often tense maritime stand-offs that an Australian think tank said could lead to conflict.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged claimants this week not to resort to intimidation to push their cause, itself an indirect reference to China, which lays claim to large swathes of the sea.
In bilateral meetings, Obama said the maritime dispute was an issue to be discussed by the summit. Indeed, he told India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that the East Asia Summit was the "premier arena" for resolving such an issue.
Japan added its voice to the call, saying those with claims should "seek a peaceful resolution in a transparent matter based on international law."

This US Navy ship is using stealth technology and a unique supercavitation system. Supercavitation was first used by the Russian navy (or that's the first I heard about it). Simply put, the Russian torpedo would pump out gases at the top of the torpedo. These gases created an 'envelope around the torpedo. And shooting through an envelope of air has far less friction than water. Hence, faster.

Socialist China's Trackers for Hong Kong Cars |

Socialist Chinese authorities have been installing devices on Hong Kong dual license plate vehicles to listen to conversations.
For years now Chinese authorities have been installing spying devices on all dual-plate Chinese-Hong Kong vehicles, enabling a vast network of eavesdropping across the archipelago, according to a Hong Kong newspaper.
The report in Apple Daily states that the recording devices began being installed as “inspection and quarantine cards” in July 2007. They were installed without charge by the Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau on thousands of vehicles.
Smugglers were the first to note something strange about the devices. A source told Apple Daily that after the cards were installed mainland authorities had no trouble picking off the cars carrying illicit goods.

China's Coming Collapse - Article |

This article discusses factors that may bring about China's collapse - including a lower, poverty stricken populace tired of the rich, corrupt elitists who gorge themselves on the country's boom. China is a country with a vast population, most located in the 1000 mile littoral region. With corruption, this population seeks wealth from the industrial boom. But that boom comes at the cost of payoffs for making a quick buck at the expense of the general populace. China is already experiencing over 100,000 protests a year against the regime in local agitation against backroom deals which expropriate land from the peasants for such elitist fare as golf courses.
My novel, "Stealing Thunder" dealt with the corruption of its elitist Socialist masters to create a world war to maintain their power.
And if inflation hits, as food prices have been rising across Asia, then expect an implosion. |
