  1. Its a shame the news doesnt discuss what is actually happening in China right now so the average Joe and Jane can put this into context. All of these provocations are just China's way of showing its people that the central government and party is strong. Meanwhile the south of the country the wheat harvest is ruined due to rains, estimates are that it will only be 30% of what is should be. In the north utter collapse due to drought and none of the corn grown there will be harvested come fall. Add to this the Swine Fever outbreak that has caused 100s of millions of pigs to be culled the last several years and what you have is a biblical famine about to take place. Americans need to know what is happening in China. It may very well avert a war.

  2. Its a trade lane. America patrols the global shipping lanes, since the end of WWII. Ironically if the US stops, which is what the last three US presidents have been pushing for, China's ability to trade globally will be neutered. The reason for these provocations is what is happening inside of China right now. The flooding in the south and the drought in the north.
