Foreign policy expert sees China-Japan conflict igniting into war

Sorry. Unless Doorbert is posting war threads, I won't believe it!

**Update**

New lines drawn by China around islands suggest more conflict ahead in dispute with Japan - [link to www.therepublic.com]


China has drawn new territorial markers, or baselines, around the islands and submitted them to the United Nations. That could lead to a more serious attempt to claim the islands, and broad swaths of valuable ocean around them.

"The status quo has been broken in the last month by Japan's purchase and China's publishing of the baselines," said Stephanie Kleine-Ahlbrandt of the International Crisis Group. She said friction is likely to reach its worst level since the 1980s.

I'm afraid this has real potential to become a full scale war.
This should be pinned.

It'll be an opportunity for Red China to get rid of its unwanted millions of single (with no hope of GF or marriage), unemployed men, so it's not all bad.

World War 3 has many fronts, this is but one of the fronts.

Good invade China ill join in that war pieces of shit thinking they can over populate and have 1.3 billion people then start spilling over into our countries.
And India fuck them too pieces of selfish shit.

Wtf does that even mean in a Commie shit hole? Change of leader all hail the leader fuck the leader blow the fucker up.

Seriously though, this is definitely an interesting issue. I can't personally see a war coming out of it though.

so much misplaced anger. We are a global community.. The people who migrate from any particular company to anyother country (it doesnt matter where) come to work hard and contribute to their home in some way, be it paying taxes, start a business or whatever. I think that the majority of people who emigrate to other countries are decent human beings moving about this planet amd just trying to live and play out their life. Please put some love into your heart. War and junk.. thats all being orchestrated by the ones up top. To create people with similar mentalities as you.. Condemning others over imagined slights, full of anger and fear.

Either way, I love you brother for everything you are because the potential of love is inside of you waiting to shine brighter in this world that needs it so badly.

I dunno.

China is a seething hellhole of sexual tension, what with at least 30 million young guys having no chance of marrying, or even getting a GF.

China might regard a war with Japan as a safety-valve, gnomesayin'?

Also, a practical test of weapons, tactics and "strategery"!

Wont happen. Too many fat cats enjoying the fruits of Walmartised capitalism.

Care to expand on that, Karl Marx?

you're a proper wanker mate.

Why are those Chinese protesters waving American flags?

They want America as well?????

China posted its 11th straight month of manufacturing decline.

The leaders in China have over a billion made workers on their hands.

The Communist Party has to re-direct the peoples anger in another direction.

Japan and China have fought for thousands of years and deeply dislike each other.

The worse off China gets economically, the less rational their leaders will get.

Unlikely to happen.

True.

I fear a trade has been made, you take Iran, we'll take Japan. prepare for a better world to emerge when the dust settles.
