Flash-point: China issues warning to India on disputes in the South China Sea

Posted on November 22, 2011 by The Extinction Protocol

November 22, 2011 — NEW DELHI – China on Monday said “outside forces” and “foreign companies” should not be involved in the South China Sea dispute. In a direct warning to India, the Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said, “We don’t hope to see outside forces involved in the South China Sea dispute and do not want to see foreign companies engage in activities that will undermine China’s sovereignty and interest.” This was in response to a question on the discussions between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao on the sidelines of the East Asia summit in Bali last week. Meanwhile, South China Sea will feature prominently in a new dialogue between India and Australia starting on Tuesday. The bilateral dialogue on East Asia will include exchanges on maritime security and North Korea as well. The Indian side will be led by Gautam Bambawale, joint secretary in MEA, and Peter Rowe, senior diplomat in the Australian foreign ministry. With the uranium issue out of the way, India will also play host to Australian foreign minister Stephen Smith in early December, as bilateral ties move into higher gear. China’s assertion of sovereignty over the South China Sea has sent all other affected countries pushing back by turning the issue into an international maritime problem. This was not on the Chinese agenda, because China wants to negotiate bilaterally with countries like Philippines and Vietnam. With India marking a prominent presence in the South China Sea, Beijing is deeply unhappy. India is concerned about China’s growing presence in PoK, a concern openly acknowledged by the Army brass.–The Times of India

The United States has said it will provide a second warship to the ill-equipped Philippine military as it confronts an aggressive Chinese navy in the tense territorial maritime disputes in the South China Sea. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton assured Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin during talks in Manila last week that Washington would give its longtime ally a second Coast Guard cutter virtually for free sometime next year. The first second-hand cutter from the U.S. Coast Guard sailed into Manila in August and became the most modern vessel in the dilapidated Philippine fleet. Clinton assured the Philippine military of intensified U.S. assistance Wednesday when the allies marked the 60th anniversary of the signing of their Mutual Defense Treaty aboard a U.S. naval destroyer in Manila. –Business Week

China is becoming a real bully in the South China Sea. They don’t have any right to these islands. Just to show how evil China is, they have started putting Palawan on their own maps, so they can claim that at a later date, or at least to try to take away the Philippines right as the islands are less than 200 nautical miles from the Palawan border (some being MUCH less than that). There are vast oil reserves in these islands and that is the only reason that China is intrerested in them. Geographically, the Philippines has the right to these islands, with Viet nam second, as the Western most islands are nearer to Viet nam.

  I agree – China IS becoming a bully.
  
  You don’t see our neighbors (Canada and Mexico) having nuc weapons to defend themselves against the US, unlike China’s neighbors.

China is a bully because they feel they are the superior race.

I also find something else interesting. For all the squawking everyone does about the militarism of the United States, we don’t hear the same uproar concerning China. Or is that just my imagination.

  Irene – All I ever read about across the web are people critizing China’s militaristic capabilities, protocols & ambitions, especially over the last 12 months or so. What is really worrying is the information we are NOT receiving. I think it’s just that the US is so visible whilst the Chinese tend to do things much more clandestinely as is their way.

This is a really bad impasse.
The oncoming boarder disputes and then the obvious expolitation of the area for oil will devastate this incredibly beautiful and virtualy unspoilt area.
Caticlan, Boracay (although touristy, are well protected) and Palawan, which is truly an amazing Island (with a coastland you would only see on airbrushed postcards), are absolute treasures of nature, along with thousands (appx. 7,000+) of other islands many uninhabited in the archiepelago.
I really feel devasted for the future. What the hell are they thinking.

Australia’s foreign minister is not Stephen Smith, it is Kevin Rudd, same old Kevin who Ju-Liar did a Brutus vs Caesar on. Smith is Defence minister. I wonder if the Australians will be taking uranium samples with them when they meet on Tuesday – sarcasm. I knew there was a reason this lying, scheming, backflipping government of ours has begun selling our toxic & dangerous resources to India.

And governments will always be so.
I believe the internet gives us so much information which flys in the face of the disinformation we are bombarded with through government controlled media. We are always being conned for the dollar and power/greed.
Let’s see how they handle the collapse-oh wait, the crcket is on and the cooking show has started (sarc).

  That’s until the newly passed US SOPA bill shows it’s true face RainMan & other countries, including ours decide to implement it also. I’m glad it’s cricket season, nothing like a coldie watching the Aussies win a Test (hopefully)

China is threat to all the asian nations. It’s oppressive practices and bullying nature will only lead to a clash among the nations. The newly found economic growth had unleashed their desire for control over Asia and certainly they strongly feel India as a threat. I am just wondering where this oppressive will lead Asia in near future. Hope will live past 2012…happily ever after.
