CHINA

When asked about the Chinese perception that the U.S. "pivot" to the Asia-Pacific region is destabilizing, Clinton noted that "you might need a psychiatrist to answer that because we certainly have made it as clear as we possibly could that the Pacific is big enough for both of us." She then argued that the current wave of territorial disputes in the South China Sea is about resources, plain and simple, adding that a Chinese official once asked her how the United States would feel if Beijing claimed Hawaii:

At one point in one of my long discussions about this, one of my Chinese interlocutors said, "Well, we could claim Hawaii." I said, "Well, go ahead, and we'll go to arbitration and prove we own it. That's what we want you to do."

So I think that this is a learning process for everybody, because why are these now - these old territorial disputes coming to the forefront? Because people think there are resources, and they want to drill, and they want to find out what's there. And they think it's got material benefits for them. But it has to be done in a lawful way. And that's why I've advocated strongly that we accede to the Convention on the Law of the Seas, because it will strengthen our hand in making these cases.

Is that a blog? BTW, where is that threat? I was excited to read the matter as soon as I had read the title but I found out nothing but trolling.

Tune kya firse trolling shuru kar diya? Yaar faltu ka bakwaj post mat kiya kar, just post anything that is serious and can lead to war.

Is that a blog?

It is a foreign policy magazine site.

Fake news, can't be fake as it got.

Can't really tell if its fake from the news alone, this was apparently an experience told by Clinton herself, whose word you will have to choose to believe or disregard.

Given her position in the administration I err on the side of caution and take her at her word.

Now they are so weak they can't even defend Hawaii with their navy. Just like Philippines they can only go to international court. How the mighty have fallen!

Try challenging us militarily in the water- USN will roast PLAN to dust within 48 hours (Yes , 48 hours because we are getting lazier and lazier day by day.)
