A potential conflict was brewing last night in the South China Sea after President Obama dispatched heavily armed American destroyers to the scene of a naval standoff between the US and China at the weekend.

Mr Obama’s decision to send an armed escort for US surveillance ships in the area follows the aggressive and co-ordinated manoeuvres of five Chinese boats on Sunday. They harassed and nearly collided with an unarmed American vessel.

Washington accused the Chinese ships of moving directly in front of the US Navy surveillance ship Impeccable, forcing its crew to take emergency action, and to deploy a high-pressure water hose to deter the Chinese ships. Formal protests were lodged with Beijing after the incident.

On a day that Mr Obama and his senior officials met the Chinese Foreign Minister, Yang Jiechi, in Washington, Beijing showed no sign of backing down. Its military chiefs accused the unarmed US Navy ship of being on a spying mission. ...
The US keeps a close eye on China’s arsenal, including its expanding fleet of submarines in the area. Washington says that the confrontation occurred in international waters, but Beijing claims nearly all the South China Sea as its own, putting it in conflict with five other nations that have claims over different parts of the waters.

The episode complicated fragile military relations between the US and China, which appeared to have improved after the two held defence talks in Beijing last month.

Mr Obama yesterday urged more military dialogue with China to avoid similar incidents after talks with Mr Yang, the White House said. “The President also stressed the importance of raising the level and frequency of military-to-military dialogue,” it said.

A hotline was established between the Chinese Defence Ministry and the Pentagon in April last year, but it was not used during or after Sunday’s standoff, defence officials said. The US Government immediately protested to Chinese authorities after the incident, about 75 miles south of Hainan Island.

Beijing has rejected the US account and demanded that the United States cease what it calls illegal activities in the South China Sea. The Chinese maintain the area is part of the country’s exclusive economic zone.

Washington insists that the area is part of international waters and that US ships have a legal right to operate there

i remember getting a "Strange but True" book wheni was a little kid in some buy a book thing in the 5th grade.

i recall one chapter had the story of some prophet that was suppossed to be like 89 percent accurate and his statement that ww3 was started when China nuked a suburb (lol) and then Russia and America nuked China.

there are alot of reports these days how China will be the next economic superpower. I am thinking that what if ww3 did break out and china was obliterated, then america and Russsia would stay on top.

Where's the media coverage? That's right. They can't report this story now. There's breaking news about Anna Nicole's boyfriend.

Do tell.....and where's the pin regarding this vital piece of celeb gossip?

ships nicely placed for north koreas little firework on april 3rd also :)

Good Point.

This isn't the first time the piss streams crossed. The Hainan Island incident, happened about this time 8 years ago.

You write like you bought the book last year

It's just pinned by the MSM.

Yep, now that we're not sending over boatloads of money...no sense being pals anymore.

It's 3 meters of dirt, correct?

nope...all u need is a roll of duct tape and some plastic. I know this because our government ran those commercials saying so a few years ago, when our TERRA ALERT LEVELS were so high...

LOLOLOLOL

The war on TERRA

the war on DRUGS

the war on POVERTY


all failures...all propagndas....


so what could be the next " WAR' DECLARED BY OUR GOVERNEMNT ?


HOW ABOUT :

THE WAR ON FREE SPEECH/ FREE THOUGHT OR FREE OPINION


OR BETTER YET :

THE WAR ON BACKYARD GARDENS AND GARDENERS GROWING HEIRLOOM VEGETABLES ?

The destruction from within ...what a sad way to see a nation crumble.

How about the war on ear marks :-)

But seriously, now china is coming out and warning the US about treasuries. North Korea is getting nuts. The iranians have the bomb.

I can see it all taking shape. The eastern axis will be China, Russia, North Korea,Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Cuba, Venezuela and various international terrorist groups. The Western axis will be the U.S., Western Europe, Eastern Europe former soviet states, Israel, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, South Korea.

I think the Israelis will hit iran. The eastern axis powers will retaliate on Israel. North Korea Could launch and Japan shoots it down. North Korea retaliates on South Korea and attacks U.S. interests. This frees the Chineese to take Taiwan abd dump U.S. Treasuries.

What do yopu expect china to do after they read the Rand report below?

According to reports out of top Chinese mainstream news outlets, the RAND Corporation recently presented a shocking proposal to the Pentagon in which it lobbied for a war to be started with a major foreign power in an attempt to stimulate the American economy and prevent a recession.

A fierce debate has now ensued in China about who that foreign power may be, with China itself as well as Russia and even Japan suspected to be the targets of aggression.

wouldn't you be a little pissed and want to show the U.S. you are not going to be chumped out by a bunch of Neo-con zionist lunitics?

.

I'm thinking our government would either allow the missile to strike somewhere in the continental U.S. and eliminate a lot of cattle, or intercept the missile over the Artic and retaliate with an Hiroshima-type weapon never seen before.

maybe? please.

That's the type of response I expect from a Neo-Com

They do the same to us not that that is any excuse. There is that one general but I can't remember his name.

Nothing will happen till they realize we're not paying them back for all the money they loaned us. Then we got problems.

That's what this is really about.

"we're"? "us"?
I never borrowed money from a chinese bank. I got my loans form a local credit union and paid less interest. After i paid off my car, I got a mortgage from the same place - and pay less interest than any big internation bank can match. They also don't mind at all when I pay extra towards the principle. They just recalculate the payments from that point.

If you borrow from a big bank that is controled by poeple outside your community, then you get what you deserve.

As for a war, the spark will be more than likely in the radical Islam countries trying something stupid and the US stepping in to stop them, which will bring China out screaming "not so close!"

A little major loss to the world in the way of historical cites in the middle east, but a huge wake up call to stop fucking around across the board.

We can't nuke China...if we do that Wal-mart will cease to exist..they'll have to start selling *gasp* made in the USA products!
