Of course little did Britain realize when the 99 year lease was up: China's long-term strategy was "today Hong Kong tomorrow the world"! Whether Vietnam, Iraq/Afghanistan, Syria/Israel or the present Chinese expansion, post-colonial collapse cleanup is a major US endless drudgery and were not really very good at it. NOTE: China has just revoked it's one baby policy(boys preferred). Two are now permissible to correct the gender(wife-shortage) imbalance: Just great!....1,000,000,000+ Sino baby-makers expanding the population...in a world of dwindling resources

I suspect the current POTUS reaction will be almost identical to other area hotspots during his tenure which in all fairness amount to very little.
Now if Trump were to be the next POTUS, would we see the creation of islands cropping up next to those the Chinese are creating?

My best guess is Trump would build walls around each of these Chinese island and thereafter demand The Chinese to pay what they cost.
Back to business thinking of another thread If this should develop into some kind of Conflict between Chinese and USA, Japan and maybe some other country in that area, I could very well imagine, NK trying to do something "not so clever" against SK. Markus |
