This is the first statement allowed by the CCP Dictators in Beijing concerning a Potus Donald Trump in the South China Sea and in the India-South China Sea-Western Pacific Strategic Region.

While in Beijing the term 'regional hegemony' is bad news, in Washington the term means containing the aggressive and belligerent CCP Dictators in their millions of miles total of claimed territory on land and sea throughout East Asia, to include the South China Sea and the Sea of Japan (East Sea).


Trump to pursue 'regional hegemony' in South China Sea

NOVEMBER 28, 2016


Wu Shicun, president of the National Institute for South China Sea Studies think tank (NISCSS), has issued a landmark report on the United States’ military presence in the Asia-Pacific.

“There will not be a reversal in the Asia-Pacific policy, but the strategic rivalry between China and the US is likely to continue over the South China Sea,” he told reporters in Beijing.

Since the election, President-Elect Donald Trump's transition team has said it is looking to increase America’s military force against China.

Last week, Rudy Giuliani revealed the president-elect intends to prioritise building a “gigantic” military force to overthrow China’s ambitions in the region, which would allow them to fight a “two-ocean war”.

He said the US had made China a rich country through “bad trade deals”, adding that “they are totally disregarding our country”.

Zhu Feng, director of the South China Sea Centre at Nanjing University, told reporters in Beijing there would be “more continuity” of the existing US military policy under Mr Trump.


Trump to pursue 'regional hegemony' in South China Sea, Chinese academics say - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)



The "academics" at the Nanjing University Center of the South China Sea are stepping up the talk already being chirped by the CCP Dictators in Beijing of unilaterally declaring a Air Defense Identification Zone over the SCS. Washington has said in unmistakable terms not to do it. Washington would defy it by flying through it without the required permissions of transit declared by CCP Dictators.

One would think CCP Dictators in Beijing had already learned their lesson concerning an ADIZ. In December 2013 in disputes against Japanese islands, CCP suddenly and unilaterally declared an ADIZ over the islands and the East Sea, between Taiwan and Japan, to include some southern waters of South Korea.

Two days after CCP surprise declared the new ADIZ Washington sent two B-52 unarmed nuclear capable bombers to fly through it, ignoring CCP orders to identify, then to get out. Since then, the ADIZ has become aerial swiss cheese as US with Japan and South Korea have regularly flown air force and navy air combat planes through the zone at will.

I think Potus Donald Trump would not take well either to any such actions by the CCP Dictators in Beijing over the South China Sea.

Trump has been discussing foreign policy since before the primaries.

And, if he reneges on tpp, he will have weakened support for his initiatives in the Pacific in any event.

Yes thats expected

I am not saying he is clueless

Only that what he wants to do domestically is much more ambitious than his foregn policy goals

But international events have a way of capturing the presidents attention anyway
 
What I say... is to give heavy incentives to get away from business in China, and take those incentives to Vietnam or any other asian economy that competes with China.
Like a 5-10% tax or all goods coming from China.... and a 10-15% tax break on all goods and investments going into and out of Vietnam. Make Vietnam the new Manufacturing powerhouse.

We need to stop feeding the beast... or at the very least make them turn back restrictions on American businesses in China(which won't happen, so make it an Ultimatum). U.S. Businesses and goods have so much more restrictions in China than Chinese businesses and goods do in the US.

Obama certainly found that out and stumbled badly.
 
Screw china..

All of the free world should be boycotting them due to their extreme pollution that effects the entire world and their terrible communist regime treating their people terribly..

Seriously **** china and anything to do with china..

China is the one country I severely dislike. In my opinion, they are the worlds most dangerous country.

Why?

Return those jobs here and make America great again

Changed it a bit for my personal taste but I like..

Many people in this country hate America too much to consider doing anything to help the people living here.
 
China is telling us clearly what China wants, by telling us they fear we want the same thing.


They aren't wrong for it, they're just doing what nations do: pursuing their own interests. So are we.
 
one third of all US depts holds China - I´m no buisnees expert, but would it be wise to go on conflict?
 
Why?

For practical purposes... because our labor isn't cheap. And it will set up a competitor for China. Our economy is more geared towards a service economy.

Ideally yea... but I also don't want China's most critical neighbors being economically feeble in comparison. Vietnam at least opposes China and would be a great counter balance if we ship all our manufacturing there.

But again, hey... if there is a way where we can empower other democracies while at the same time limiting China's power to the highest potential and still having the benefits of cheap labor... I'm game.

America should be the competitor to china

We need the jobs here as much as the Viets do

It's hard to compete with people who do not care about the environment..

We do receive a lot of benefits for the cheap labor from china, it makes our products less expensive which gives us more purchasing power. An overall better economy with better more favorable trade will create more jobs on it's own. Currently our trade relationship with China does not benefit us. We are essentially trading cheap labor and prices for our future growth, while they are sacrificing labor and prices for growth. If we were actually allowed to trade with China fairly we wouldn't have an issue... but they put limits on all our products, companies and influence. For example, I think there can only be 14 American movies shown in China in any given year.

China has A LOT more people to sell to... that they aren't even allowing the world to.

Since we can place tariffs on dirty chineese imports that lets American workers compete with china in the worolds largest consumer market - ours.
 
"No better friend; no worse enemy." James Mattis


Gen. Mattis is of course focused on Iran more than the other two, Russia and CCP China. As we know, Mattis was CENTCOM but it's not as if he doesn't know anything about CCP Dictators in Beijing. Still, he doesn't know that much about CCP and their PRC. Navy guyz are more up on and on top of it.

Taking Trump a long time it seems to me to officially nominate Gen. Mattis for SecDef. It's almost for sure it's directly related to the brawl going on for SecState. Also, if Mattis takes over at Pentagon, then we'd also have a Marine four-star as chairman of JCS, Fightin' Joe Dunford.

Mad Dog Mattis...Fighting Joe Dunford...PLA don't stand a chance.

Beginning to wonder if Mattis is going to get the appointment. I don't like the idea of a retired flag officer as SecDef. If the appointment were a solid likelihood then it would have been announced by now. Transitioning Pentagon and DoD is humongous yet Mattis' name keeps on hanging out there.

Completely untrue, the only Prez faster than Trump is GHW Bush.

A long time to finally just now formally nominate Gen. Mattis as SecDef after having initially put his name forward.

My post did not say a long time to put forward a name(s). Nor did my post say a long time to put forward the name of Gen. Mattis -- or any name. (Kindly read what a post does say.)

I'd also reiterate Trump and Gen. Mattis will need a number two and other civilian leaders at the Pentagon who know more than a little about running the place. Which means Trump will have to continue to run his net through the existing swamp to bring in more alligators, er, people with the knowledge and experience to do the job.

Trump or someone in the WH will have to keep Mattis and LTG Michael Flynn on a short leash in their dealings with one another. They're not exactly bitter personal enemies but neither are they the best of friends. Neither does Army like to be put under the crotch, er, the Corps in the command structure of the U.S. military.

Marine Corps commandant being eligible to be chairman of JCS is a recent development only (given USMC had always been under the CNO) that began with Rumsfeld and GW. So now we get Marine generals as chairman of JCS which is fine, but it severely breaks all tradition and military history, which matters in the military.
