America Should Treat China As A Regional, Not A Global Player

Forbes 2 hours 8 minutes ago 
In dealing with China, American leaders are making a big strategic mistake: they are treating China as a global rather than a regional player. That’s what China really is. China has been making a great deal of noise lately. Over the South China Sea, that is, building artificial islands, urging US to stay away from the region, enlisting a couple of African countries on its side, even goingso far as to say that it doesn’t fear trouble in the region. Still Washington has been very nice to China — too nice some would think — keeping American markets wide open to Chinese products, and holding annual bilateral summits on the global economy — like the one held in Beijing this week. To be fair, I am ...

China's Secret Strategy to Dominate the South China Sea

The National Interest Fri, Jun 10 1:00 AM PDT 
South China Sea claimants are awaiting a decision by the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea in an arbitration case on the legality of the Chinese government’s claims. Military activity in the South China Sea is expanding, increasing the risk of “dangerous brinksmanship” over the islands and reefs scattered throughout the region. While the United States Navy has taken the lead in responding to regional military activity, we believe that coast guard-coast guard exchanges can reduce the risk of conflict, while still assuring regional partners of American dedication in the South China Sea. Over the last year, China has conducted dredging activities at an unprecedented scale, using the newly-built islands to base missile systems and military aircraft. ...

Will U.S. Restrain 'Provocative' South China Sea Actions? Beijing Wants To Know

Forbes 11 hours ago 
The Beijing-based Global Times would like to know if Washington is going to keep up its provocative actions in the South China Sea . The newspaper, which often expresses the views of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), posed the question at the end of an editorial on Wednesday, offering its take on the eighth China-US Strategic & Economic Dialogue (S&ED) in Beijing that ended the previous day. At the start of the S&ED, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry pressed China over its recent actions in the South China Sea, while U.S. Trade Secretary Jack Lew urged China to stop dumping foreign markets with excess steel.  “The United States will make it clear that we are looking for a peaceful resolution ...

China Is Slowly Turning the South China Sea Into Its Own Territory
http://nationalinterest.org/feature/china-slowly-turning-the-south-china-sea-its-own-territory-16554

The National Interest Fri, Jun 10 1:00 AM PDT 
"We were not isolated in the past, we are not isolated and we will not be isolated," Chinese Admiral Sun Jianguo, deputy chief of general staff of the People's Liberation Army, exclaimed during the recently-concluded Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. It was a direct riposte to U.S. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter’s earlier speech at the same event, where he warned China against “self-isolation” due to its aggressive maneuvers in adjacent waters. Not short of bravado, the Chinese admiral went so far as stating Beijing does not "make or fear trouble" against the "provocations of certain countries for their own selfish interests." The speech coincided with reports of China’s back-to-back (unsafe) interception of American surveillance missions in the South China Sea. Four centuries after the publication of British jurist John Selden’s "The Closed Sea," which argued for exclusive sovereign control of international waters, China is inching closer to transforming the South China Sea—the world’s most important waterway, which handles up to a third of global maritime commerce, four times as much energy transport as the Suez canal, and more than a tenth of global fisheries stock—into a virtual domestic lake.

Why China wants U.S. military jet engines

CNN Money Fri, Jun 10 9:38 AM PDT 
China appears to be going to great lengths to get its hands on high-tech U.S. jet engines to beef up its military capabilities. On Thursday, a woman named Wenxia Man was convicted in a Florida court of conspiring to evade U.S. export laws by illegally acquiring and sending fighter jet engines and drones to China, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
