The escalating tensions over claims to disputed waters in and around the disputed waters off the Chinese coast could be headed for deadly disaster.
While the U.S. has been intensifying its presence of warships in the South China Sea, China has been conducting an unprecedented number of drills, including some in concert with Russia.
Now, China is also conducting some brow-raising drills in the East China Sea, which bridges the gap between China and Japan.
More and more, it seems that the chances for a destructive war and failing diplomacy is very real – indeed, players as big as George Soros have suggested that WWIII is a distinct possibility that should not be dismissed.
According to the Japanese Times:
The Chinese Navy held live-fire drills in the East China Sea on Monday, the Defense Ministry said… [which] involved firing dozens of missiles and torpedoes and was aimed at bolstering “the assault intensity, precision, stability and speed of troops amid heavy electromagnetic influences,” an apparent reference to electronic warfare.
“An information technology-based war at sea is sudden, cruel and short, which requires fast transition to combat status, quick preparation and high assault efficiency,” the statement said.. . . .
In the South China Sea, where Beijing is embroiled in bitter disputes with some of its neighbors, China announced last week that it would hold joint naval drills with Russia in September.
The planned drills come at a time of heightened tensions in the waters after an international arbitration tribunal last month rejected Beijing’s historic claims to much of the South China Sea. China rejected the decision, blasting the proceedings as a “farce” and calling the ruling “waste paper.”
While all the major nations involved have claimed that their drills are routine and not a threat of war, in reality, military drills serve as a major act of saber rattling in order to demonstrate the strength of their military prowess and their readiness for war. It is the carrot-and-stick approach, and it could bring the U.S. and China into full-blown world war .
As James Holbrooks of the Underground Reporter noted:
In a congressional hearing on Wednesday, former Director of National Intelligence and retired Navy admiral Dennis Blair told the panel that the United States should be prepared to use military force to oppose Chinese aggression in the South China Sea.
“I think we need to have some specific lines and then encourage China to compromise on some of its objectives,” Blair, who headed the U.S. Pacific Command while in the Navy, said at the hearing.
The U.S., citing the territorial dispute and security concerns raised by its allies in the region, have for months been sending warships into the South China Sea as a check against Chinese hostility.
Beijing, acutely aware of the military buildup off its coast, has publicly warned the U.S. it’s more than ready to defend against provocations. “China hopes disputes can be resolved by talks… but it must be prepared for any military confrontation.”
With economic warfare ongoing, the United States faces the potential death of the dollar as China seeks for global dominance through the yuan.
World order is being reshuffled, and we are watching in slow motion. What happens next? Whose move?

China is New World Order. Mao was funded, his little Red Book written by Israel Epstein. Marx was a Rothschild employee. This article is off, because China doesn’t want to dominate with the Yuan. China
has followed western lead of materialism, its ground water is all polluted, it’s people now traveling like yuppie tourists from Europe. An unsustainable lie, just like West. In the Southern Hemisphere, China is helping create infrastructure for new world order to screw Africans and South Americans. The elite will not take each other out, they will just destabilize everywhere, bring us to our knees, as the final synthesis. Please look up Hegelian Dialectic. To do this they must create factions. So the puppet militarys of different countries are ordered to provoke each other. Don’t blame China or Chinese, blame the puppet masters who control your government and theirs. And think about solutions. Move out of city and learn to grow something healthy.
Too much fear mongering. The Chinese government, its media, and even the Communist Youth League are all heavily chastising those involved in some minor protests (breaking their iPhones and marching in front of Kentucky Fried Chicken) labeling them “extremists” and “anti-government”, “foolish in a globalized economy to seek to financially target international companies that employ many Chinese citizens”. The censors came out immediately to quell the small number of people who complained about the disputed territories. Meanwhile, last April virtually all nations signed the new UN 2030 Ocean territory oversight agreement that hands over management of the world’s oceans to the UN and several international corporations (global fascism).
Must have floated up some big fish with those missiles.Nice catches.
As long as the Fed can keep printing money the Yuan will not be the global reserve currency. Ain’t gonna happen. China is practicing many of the same policies in the exploitation of resources in African countries as the IMF has done in South America.
Everyone competes for resources. Nothing new under the sun here. Either countries comply and respect international law or they just make up their own rules. That’s the choice here and it’s as simple as that.
