These are becoming funnier everyday... I think these articles are either merely for their internal consumption, or maybe even for a few in their government hierarchy to satisfy their "needs"... |

Never failing to disappoint. Global Times of China responds...
"China has advantages on legal basis over both islands disputes with Manila and Tokyo. Neither Japan and the Philippines has the will to launch a serious contention with China, nor do they have any plans to tackle the territorial disputes at the cost of economic cooperation with China. Therefore, their "axis" won't have much influence." - Global Times Such arrogance!!! |

![]() Soon to be 12 if they include the Senkaku's? Maritime disputes with China on agenda of weekend PH talks with Japan PM Abe Pots de Leon InterAksyon.com July 26, 2013 5:44 PM The visit comes as both Japan and the Philippines are bracing for an apparent muscle-flexing by China, which rolled out this week an integrated Coast Guard service that combines the functions of four agencies, and resulted in the arming of more vessels, all meant to boost China’s patrols over what it considers its maritime domain. China claims the South China Sea (which Manila calls West Philippine Sea) in its entirety, and insists solely on bilateral talks, not an international forum, with the five other claimants. It is also in dispute with Japan over a strong of islands in the East China Sea, which Tokyo calls Senkakus and Beijing refers to as Diaoyus. Multirole response vessels acquisition pends As for Manila’s planned acquisition of multirole-response vessels for the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) with help from Japan, Hernandez said, “The loan application for the acquisition of multirole vessels for the PCG is still being reviewed by the Japanese government.” In January this year, Foreign Affairs chief del Rosario met with Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida to discuss Manila’s request for 10 brand-new coastal boats, amid Manila’s heightened territorial dispute with China. As the country’s strategic partner, Japan had signalled it is willing to provide the loan to boost maritime surveillance of the Philippines’ seas and territory. http://www.interaksyon.com/article/67264/maritime-disputes-with-china-on-agenda-of-weekend-ph-talks-with-japan-pm-abe |

Aggressive Chinese territorial claims bring risks: U.S. general Andrea Shalal-Esa Reuters - 6 hours ago WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Aggressive moves by China to assert territorial claims run the risk of "miscalculations" but are also helping Washington strengthen ties with other countries in the region, the general who oversees U.S. air forces in the Pacific said Monday. "Being fairly aggressive runs the risk of creating the potential for miscalculation," Air Force General Herbert Carlisle told defense reporters in Washington. "That's something we think about every day." "It's a complex, changing environment. Every action has unintended consequences and second and third order effects." "Some of their fairly assertive, aggressive behavior has in fact brought our friends (closer) and they're relying on us to be there and to be present." "In some cases, those allies could ultimately wind up buying defense equipment from non-U.S. suppliers, but they wanted an increased U.S. presence as a counterweight to China." The Pentagon was working to increase rotations of U.S. troops through Asia, much as it rotated troops through Europe at the time of the Cold War, Carlisle said. Carlisle said he was confident the U.S. would continue shifting its focus to Asia despite hefty military spending cuts under a big U.S. government-wide spending reduction process known as "sequestration." http://ca.news.yahoo.com/aggressive-chinese-territorial-claims-bring-risks-u-general-191344232.html |

Philippines pushes back against China By Chico Harlan Published: July 23 MANILA - China's most daring adversary in Southeast Asia is, by many measurements, ill-suited for a fight. The Philippines has a military budget one-fortieth the size of Beijing's, and its navy cruises through contested waters in 1970s hand-me-downs from the South Vietnamese. From that short-handed position, the Philippines has set off on a risky mission to do what no nation in the region has managed to do: thwart China in its drive to control the vast waters around it. Analysts say the Philippines' strategy, in standing up to Asia's powerhouse, is just as likely to backfire as succeed. But it provides a crucial test case as smaller countries debate whether to deal with China as a much-needed economic partner, a dangerous maritime aggressor, or both. The Philippines doesn't view China exclusively as a threat, officials here say, noting that trade between the countries is growing. The Philippines has also used caution at times, most notably by holding off on provocative plans to drill in what could be the nation's richest oil and gas field. But analysts point to a series of steps taken in recent months that suggest that Manila is increasingly willing to confront Beijing. They also note that the Philippines has suspended or canceled several development deals that depended on generous Chinese aid. Del Rosario last year called on the Philippines to "take a position of patriotism that what is ours is ours. It is possible that we may be tested and if we are tested, it is possible that everyone would need to make a sacrifice." Just a few years ago, China tried to make friends with the Philippines - and nearly succeeded. The reason it fell short indicates the limits of soft power - namely, aid and investment deals - at a time when China has made a priority of expanding its foreign influence. The goodwill collapsed in short order. The broadband deal was laced with kickbacks for Philippine officials, as a congressional investigation revealed. The joint surveying deal came under even fiercer attack, as opposition politicians and many prominent Filipinos said Arroyo had violated the constitution by essentially giving away territory. Arroyo, under domestic pressure, allowed the initial three-year JMSU contract to lapse in 2008. But the collapse of the deal reopened a decades-long debate between the Philippines and China over the rights to seabed hydrocarbons. The Philippines worked out unilateral deals to prospect for oil and gas. And China, in turn, increased its surveillance of the waters, badgering Philippine vessels in places where they had previously gone unbothered. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/philippines-pushes-back-against-china/2013/07/23/4dfa6058-f043-11e2-bed3-b9b6fe264871_story_1.html |
