US, CHINA MAY FIGHT A WAR OVER SOUTH CHINA SEA: TOP DONALD TRUMP AIDE
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 03, 2017 BY INDIANDEFENSE NEWS

Tensions between the China and the US and Japan, as well as other countries, have increased in recent years over a dispute about who exactly owns the part of the Pacific Ocean.
LONDON: President Donald Trump's closest adviser thinks the US will fight a war with China in the next five to 10 years over the strategic South China Sea claimed by the Communist giant, British media reported.
"We're going to war in the South China Sea in five to 10 years, aren't we?" Steve Bannon, a far-right figure, who has been given unprecedented power in the White House Bannon said on his radio show in March 2016.
He said suggested that the US and China are headed towards war over the South China Sea.
"There's no doubt about that. They're taking their sandbars and making basically stationary aircraft carriers and putting missiles on those. They come here to the United States in front of our face -- and you understand how important face is -- and say it's an ancient territorial sea," the Independent quoted him as saying.
Tensions between the China and the US and Japan, as well as other countries, have increased in recent years over a dispute about who exactly owns the part of the Pacific Ocean.
China says nearly the entire South China Sea falls within its territory, with half a dozen other countries maintaining partially overlapping claims.

Bannon made these comments in March 2016, during the heart of the primary campaign, well before anybody thought Trump had a chance to win, so I will take these comments with a grain of salt. Campaign rhetoric is one thing, reality is another.

china dont even have anti balistic missle so i think usa can defeat china

The current arsenal of anti-ballistic missiles are DN-2, DN-3, HQ-19(THAAD counterpart), HQ- 26 (SM-3 counterpart), and HQ-29 (PAC-3 counterpart).

DN or Dong Neng series are designed for high Earth orbit kinetic strikes against both satellites and ballistic missiles.

The United States and China will fight a war within the next 10 years over islands in the South China Sea, and “there’s no doubt about that”. At the same time, the US will be in another “major” war in the Middle East.

Those are the views – nine months ago at least – of one of the most powerful men in Donald Trump’s administration, Steve Bannon, the former head of far-right news website Breitbart who is now chief strategist at the White House.

In the first weeks of Trump’s presidency, Bannon has emerged as a central figure. He was appointed to the “principals committee” of the National Security Council in a highly unusual move and was influential in the recent travel ban on citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries, overruling Department of Homeland Security officials who felt the order did not apply to green card holders.

While many in Trump’s team are outspoken critics of China, in radio shows Bannon hosted for Breitbart he makes plain the two largest threats to America: China and Islam.

“We’re going to war in the South China Sea in five to 10 years,” he said in March 2016. “There’s no doubt about that. They’re taking their sandbars and making basically stationary aircraft carriers and putting missiles on those. They come here to the United States in front of our face – and you understand how important face is – and say it’s an ancient territorial sea.”

China says nearly the entire South China Sea falls within its territory, with half a dozen other countries maintaining partially overlapping claims. China has built a series of artificial islands on reefs and rocks in attempt to bolster its position, complete with military-length airstrips and anti-aircraft weapons.

Bannon’s sentiments and his position in Trump’s inner circle add to fears of a military confrontation with China, after secretary of state Rex Tillerson said that the US would deny China access to the seven artificial islands. Experts warned any blockade would lead to war.

Bannon is clearly wary of China’s growing clout in Asia and beyond, framing the relationship as entirely adversarial, predicting a global culture clash in the coming years.

“You have an expansionist Islam and you have an expansionist China. Right? They are motivated. They’re arrogant. They’re on the march. And they think the Judeo-Christian west is on the retreat,” Bannon said during a February 2016 radio show.

On the day Trump was inaugurated, China’s military warned that war between the two countries was a real possibility.

“A ‘war within the president’s term’ or ‘war breaking out tonight’ are not just slogans, they are becoming a practical reality,” an official wrote on the website of the People’s Liberation Army.

Aside from conflict between armies, Bannon repeatedly focused on his perception that Christianity around the world is under threat.

In one radio show, used to promote an article incorrectly claiming that a mosque had been built at the North Pole, Bannon focused heavily on China’s oppression of Christian groups.

“The one thing the Chinese fear more than America … they fear Christianity more than anything,” he said.

But China is not the only hotspot Bannon sees, and forecasts another ground war for American troops in the Middle East.

“Some of these situations may get a little unpleasant,” Bannon said in November 2015. “But you know what, we’re in a war. We’re clearly going into, I think, a major shooting war in the Middle East again.”

He also branded Islam as “the most radical” religion in the world, and moved swiftly since entering the White House to enact policies hostile to Muslims. Some have called Trump’s central doctrine a “war on Islam”.

omg so excited, haven't seen good high-intensity combat in a long time. I think china could really bring the stakes up and make this a good fight to watch.

Looks like South China Sea is going to be the graveyard for countless american ships and planes.

 

[خره مينه لګته وي]

According to figures from the US Department of Justice and the Council on Foreign Affairs, 11,385 people died on average annually in firearm incidents in the US between 2001 and 2011.. That's more than 110k deaths in 10 years, they should declare holy war against it's own citizens...These idiots always need excuses to project their bigger Di*k policies & invade Countries for fake reasons... At least these new conservative right wing idiots will let others know what they feel & which policy they will persue !!

• since 9/11 not a single major incident of terrorism with links to islamists...These ppl are killing each other's in thousands annually but still they feel threatened from an unknown enemy which doesn't exist..Fear mongering..

• Philippines have changed it's side & others will follow..USA hegemony will end as well as it's illegal occupation of afg..They are best in nurturing Terrorists & destroying weaker Countries like afg,iraq etc.

either way, I'm excited about some high-intensity combat.

You love to see this war? It will be Armageddon. End of world with nuke warhead throw around. China is a proven nuke power with miniature MIRV H-warhead. A single warhead equal 300-400times at Hiroshima.

I doubt the war will start. If 1962 Cuba crisis can avoid. So as this.

Would a proposed 1000-ship navy fleet for the PLA make warmongering Bannon think twice?
