WHAT IS TIBET’S FUTURE?

WHAT IS TIBET’S FUTURE?

I am pleased to share a story titled “Dalai Lama’s 80th birthday invites celebration and contemplation”, written by BARBARA DEMICK published by Los Angeles Times.

There is a sense of hope and optimism in Tibet, India, and the United States about Tibet’s future. The evidence to show that these three nations share a sense of optimism is the continued existence of a military organization known as Special Frontier Force. This military force is small in size and yet it reflects the strength and endurance of Tibetan Resistance Movement. Tibetans continue to resist military occupation of Tibet and are hopeful that Resistance would eventually prevail. His Holiness is hopeful for he knows Red China does not have moral strength to sustain her unjust occupation of Tibet. Many Tibetans are able to withstand pain, suffering, and misery caused by Red China’s brutal occupation and her use of repressive measures on account of virtues like patience, and perseverance. His Holiness is using the weapons of Wisdom and Compassion to fight against Evil Power.

I have lifetime affiliation to Tibetan Resistance Movement and I draw my sense of hope and optimism from an entirely different source. Red China’s sudden, unexpected downfall is shared by Apocalyptic Book of ‘REVELATION’ which describes a prophetic vision of a calamity, a catastrophe, and a disaster which will utterly ruin Red China in one single day.

TIBET’S ROAD AHEAD

Dalai Lama’s 80th birthday invites celebration and contemplation

By BARBARA DEMICK

WHAT IS TIBET'S FUTURE? REFLECTION AND CONTEMPLATION ON TIBET'S FUTURE AS HIS HOLINESS THE 14th DALAI LAMA CELEBRATES 80th BIRTHDAY ON MONDAY, JULY 06, 2015. — WHAT IS TIBET’S FUTURE? REFLECTION AND CONTEMPLATION ON TIBET’S FUTURE AS HIS HOLINESS THE 14th DALAI LAMA CELEBRATES 80th BIRTHDAY ON MONDAY, JULY 06, 2015.

To hear the Dalai Lama laugh, his face lighting up in a beatific smile, it is easy to forget the cascade of disasters endured by the Tibetan Buddhist movement over the course of his life.
Yet the list is long, and growing longer, as an ascendant China consolidates control over Tibet.
On the cusp of the Dalai Lama’s 80th birthday Monday, which he will mark during a three-day visit to Anaheim, China’s rising economic clout is slowly strangling the movement for Tibetan independence and, in the process, nudging the charismatic Tibetan spiritual leader off the world stage.
Under Chinese pressure, South Africa refused to grant him a visa last year to attend a gathering of Nobel laureates. Even Pope Francis, presumably worried about the fate of Chinese Catholics, declined to grant him an audience in December.

The 94,000-strong Tibetan community in India, which for years has operated a government in exile headquartered in this mountain resort, is shrinking as a result of tighter Chinese controls on borders and passports that keep the 6 million Tibetans living in China from leaving.
At the same time, after a decades-long exodus, a new phenomenon is occurring: Tibetans are quietly requesting Chinese documents to go home, implicitly acknowledging that China’s rule over Tibet is here to stay.
“Everybody knows that the economic situation is better over there than here,” said a Tibetan engineer in his 30s who is preparing to return soon and asked not to be named for fear of reprisals. “We’re paid very well back in Tibet and people feel it is better to go back home than to live here in a shack.”
And yet Tibetans at home are not happy. Since 2009, 140 Tibetans have immolated themselves to protest Chinese policies that limit their freedom of movement, speech and religion, especially their right to venerate the Dalai Lama.

Exiled from his homeland since 1959, the Dalai Lama views these setbacks and challenges with the air of a man who meditates five hours a day and takes a transcendental approach to adversity.
“I don’t consider China powerful at all,” he said during an interview at the sprawling complex of Buddhist temples here. “They may be powerful in their economics and weapons, but in terms of moral principles, they are very weak. The whole society is full of suspicion and full of distrust.”
Looming over any discussion of Tibet is a simple actuarial fact: The Dalai Lama is in his final decades of life. At some point, Tibetan Buddhists will be faced with the loss of a man who has been revered as both a secular and spiritual leader and has given their Free Tibet movement a sense of moral authority throughout the world.
That has set in motion in recent months a scramble for succession of a uniquely Buddhist variety, because the Dalai Lama’s successor is by tradition the reincarnation of his holiness. In March, the Chinese government once again signaled its intention to have a role in designating the legitimate heir, a plan that prompted the Dalai Lama to suggest that he may break with tradition and appoint his own successor or that he may not be reincarnated at all.
“Reincarnation is not the business of the communists,” he said.
+++
Born on July 6, 1935, the 14th Dalai Lama began life as Lhamo Dondrub in a village in China’s Qinghai province. As the story goes, the deceased 13th Dalai Lama was found with his head turned in that direction and a search party was sent to identify his reincarnation. They were delighted to find a precocious toddler who could correctly identify the Dalai Lama’s walking stick, rosary and drum.
He was brought to Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, at age 4 and assumed rule over Tibet as a 15-year-old in 1950.

Dalai Lama jokingly critiques his portrait by President Bush ( REPUBLICAN ) during Dallas visit Bush, who has taken up painting in his retirement, included the Dalai Lama’s portrait among 30 paintings of world leaders unveiled in April 2014. At the time, he said he painted the renowned…

Tibet had been run as a de facto independent country in the chaotic early 20th century, but it had not been formally recognized. In 1949, Chinese Communists claimed power in distant Beijing and proved to be a force that the Himalayan mountain kingdom could not overcome.
For China, the 965,000-square-mile region known as the Tibetan plateau, spread over strategic high ground in the center of Asia, is a crucial buffer from India, Nepal and Bangladesh. Encompassing roughly one-quarter of China’s landmass, it is the source of most of Asia’s largest rivers, supplying water to nearly half the world’s population. It also has the largest reserve of uranium in the world.
The struggle to subdue Tibet has shaped the character of modern China, forcing it to become the kind of brutal imperial power the early communist ideologues once deplored. Beijing devotes inordinate military and diplomatic effort to defend its claim to Tibet, which it calls “a part of China since antiquity.”
“The Chinese know that historically their empire was weak when control over the western borders lapsed,” said Sulmaan Wasif Khan, a specialist in Chinese foreign relations at Tufts University.
Tibetan resistance to Chinese rule has been relatively nonviolent compared with ethnic disputes elsewhere, such as those involving Kurds or Chechens.
Robert Barnett, a Tibet scholar at Columbia University in New York, counts only about 20 Han Chinese (the ethnic majority in China) who have been killed by political violence at the hands of Tibetans since the 1980s. The death toll among ethnic Tibetans is higher, in the hundreds including those who have self-immolated with calls for the Dalai Lama to return.
If he dies in exile, though, that could change. “People may feel the Chinese forced him to die outside his country and caused him grief, and they could reap a terrible harvest of suffering,” Barnett said.

At the heart of the dilemma is the Dalai Lama. Although he abandoned calls for Tibetan independence in 1979, embracing instead a “middle way” in which Tibetans would enjoy autonomy and freedom of religion and speech under Chinese rule, the Chinese Communist Party reviles him as a separatist.
“The Dalai party has never abandoned the use of violence to achieve their goal of full independence,” the State Council wrote in a “white paper” on Tibet released in mid-April.
So anathema is the Dalai Lama to the Communist Party that he is treated as the one whose name cannot be mentioned. Tibetans dare not speak of him in public. Walking down the street with a portrait of the Dalai Lama will get one immediately arrested in most parts of China. Tiny medallions are routinely confiscated and destroyed.
That causes a recurring cycle of ill will among Tibetans, whose reverence for their spiritual leader endures. People have crossed the Himalayas in flip-flops seeking a blessing from the Dalai Lama. Gonpo Tso, a 64-year-old Tibetan exile living in Dharamsala, says she could accept Chinese communist rule over Tibet if not for the slander of her spiritual leader.

“It gives such pain to my heart to hear the words they use about the Dalai Lama,” she said.

Tibetans remain deeply embittered about the horrors inflicted upon their society by the Communist Party from the 1950s through the 1970s: the mass starvation, the desecration of Buddhist monasteries, the arrests and executions. By the time of Mao Tse-tung’s demise in 1976, hundreds of thousands of Tibetans had perished. Some exile sources estimate up to 1.2 million deaths.
Nevertheless, many Tibetans are quietly returning home, accepting that to live there they will lose many of the freedoms they enjoy in India.
Consider the case of Lobsang, a Tibetan (like many, he has only one name) who trekked across the Himalayas as a 16-year-old monk to follow the Dalai Lama. Last year, Lobsang found himself among the crowd of hundreds of Tibetans outside the barbed wire-topped concrete walls of the Chinese Embassy in New Delhi. It is a place that Tibetans used to go to protest; now they line up starting at 3 a.m for documents that permit them to go home.
“I felt such uneasiness being there,” said Lobsang, 34, a slightly built man who works as a Tibetan-language teacher and editor. “Here I was, as a Tibetan, asking the Chinese for permission to go back to my home.”
Although the Tibetan exile community here reached a high of 118,000 in the mid-1990s, it dropped to 94,000 as of the most recent census, in 2009. Chinese state media say 80,000 Tibetan exiles have returned to visit or to live in Tibet since the 1980s.
The Chinese are quietly encouraging those who elect to return.

“Back to the motherland,” crowed a headline last year on the Chinese-government website, Tibet.net. It quoted an elderly returnee exclaiming, “My hometown has gone through enormous changes. Living conditions are a lot better than before. There is also freedom of religion. Returning home was the right choice!”

Officially, the government in exile encourages Tibetans to return to their homeland to live or to visit. It now campaigns for more autonomy within China, for freedom of speech and religion and for preservation of the Tibetan language and culture.

But it is a sensitive subject for Tibetans, many of whom feel that returning is in effect a repudiation of the exile government and tacit recognition of China’s sovereignty over Tibet.

“People will tell you they are going back because they miss their families, but many are also disappointed in the Tibetan government,” said Tashi, 30, who has spent eight years in Dharamsala. He comes from China’s Sichuan province, which abuts Tibet and includes some traditionally Tibetan towns.
“They see that the exile government cannot do anything for the people inside Tibet,” he added.

The Dalai Lama, though, exudes confidence. His handshake is firm. He carries a conversation in English without hesitation, pausing only on a few occasions to ask an assistant’s help in translating a complex thought. He stumbles only over a weak knee.
In the rose garden outside his office, he seems inexhaustible as he greets a long reception line of misty-eyed acolytes, including Tibetans in sweeping cloaks, an Indian movie star, a British artist and a delegation of mainland Chinese. They cling to him and, reaching under the folds of crimson robes, kiss his brown lace-up shoes.
The Dalai Lama obligingly strokes their cheeks and poses for photos, until his aides steer him away and with a squirt of hand sanitizer directs him to the interview.
Among the droves of admirers who travel to northern India to pay homage to the Dalai Lama are many Han Chinese Buddhists, some well-to-do.

The Dalai Lama gives priority to meeting those Buddhists from the mainland, explaining to them his wishes for autonomy rather than independence.
“They are our secret weapon,” joked Tenzin Taklha, the Dalai Lama’s chief secretary, pointing to a delegation that was visiting in early May. During his talks with the Chinese pilgrims, the Dalai Lama often goes out of his way to praise Chinese President Xi Jinping and his campaign against corruption.

Ending a centuries-old theocratic system, the Dalai Lama officially retired in 2011 as head of the exile government, giving up the leadership to an elected prime minister, Harvard-educated Lobsang Sangay. This fledgling experiment in democracy is something about which the Dalai Lama is very proud, but it has in effect thwarted talks with the Chinese, who will not negotiate with an exile government.

“They feel that would give credibility to my administration,” Lobsang Sangay said in an interview. “They want envoys of the Dalai Lama to talk to them directly like before.”

Although there have been no formal negotiations in five years, Chinese intermediaries have hinted that the Dalai Lama could be invited to China, if not to visit Tibet, then to make a pilgrimage to Mt. Wutai, a Buddhist holy site in Shanxi province.

“I have no preconditions for visiting Tibet or China. No conditions at all,” said the Dalai Lama, although he added, “I should have the freedom to teach and explain Buddha dharma to the Buddhists.”

The Dalai Lama said he approves of exiles returning to Tibet so that they can educate those who are there.

“Those Tibetans who are educated here and have a broader view of the world would be useful to the Tibetans inside Tibet. Therefore, I suggest that they go back and work,” he said.

The Dalai Lama, who has long played down any confrontation with China while calling for dialogue, said he has no objection to Tibetans learning Chinese or even joining the Communist Party.

In conversation, as in most other public pursuits, he is relentlessly cheerful, even giggly.
He laughed off his setbacks, refusing to take the bait when asked questions designed to pique anger.

“Yes, it was the Chinese doing that South Africa denied me a visa,” he acknowledged without apparent rancor. As for the pope, he said, “I understand that the Vatican has to take care of Chinese Catholics in the People’s Republic of China. These are today’s realities.”

The Dalai Lama’s upcoming birthday is occasioning celebrations around the world.

The monk will spend his birthday at a three-day Global Compassion Summit in Anaheim, beginning Sunday. Last weekend, he made a surprise appearance at a music festival in Glastonbury, England, where singer Patti Smith, one of his many celebrity admirers, presented him with a birthday cake.

In China, Tibetan communities have been marking the birthday since the Tibetan New Year in February, in defiance of authorities. In May, a 35-year-old father of four in Sichuan province immolated himself to protest a crackdown on birthday celebrations.

On the Tibetan calendar, the birthday fell on June 21 and was marked by prayer ceremonies and picnics held mostly out of view of authorities.

Among Tibetans the birthday also has occasioned trepidation: It is a reminder, in a society that believes in a succession of lives, of the tyranny of mortality when it comes to their spiritual leader.

The rudest question to ask the Dalai Lama — and one that no one can resist — is what happens after he dies.
The Dalai Lama is so tired of being asked about his health that his secretary, Tenzin Taklha, who is also his nephew, hands interviewers an 11-page primer entitled “Statement of His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, on the issue of His Reincarnation.”

According to Buddhist doctrine, the Dalai Lama should be reincarnated in the body of a newborn boy who will become the 15th Dalai Lama, after being identified by the proper religious authorities.

In the statement, however, the Dalai Lama leaves open the possibility that he, as a “superior Bodhisattva … can manifest his own emanation before death.” Practically speaking, that means he could name his successor, possibly an adult who has been groomed for the position.

The succession question has been pushed aside for another decade: The Dalai Lama says he will wait until he is about 90 and then convene an advisory group of high lamas to resolve it. One option, he has said, would be to discontinue the tradition of the Dalai Lama entirely.

Despite its professed atheism, the Chinese government wants to control the process. The State Religious Affairs Bureau Order No. 5 prohibits the reincarnation of a monk without a permit.

Beijing has indicated it will put forth its own candidate as the reincarnated Dalai Lama, setting the stage for an inevitable conflict because China’s choice is unlikely to be accepted by most Tibetans.

In 1995, the Chinese government picked a 6-year-old child to succeed the Panchen Lama, the second highest figure in Tibetan Buddhism. Another child who was selected by the Tibetans was whisked away by Chinese authorities (supposedly for his own protection) and hasn’t been heard from since.

The Dalai Lama has rejected all attempts at Chinese intervention though. “First of all, these people do not understand the theory of rebirth. Secondly, they had no knowledge of Tibetan tradition and do not know the history of successive Dalai Lamas, Panchen Lamas and other reincarnated lamas of Tibet. I feel that the Chinese officials should pay more attention and study these histories in an unbiased and objective manner.”

Some Tibetans are exasperated by the Dalai Lama’s lack of urgency.
The Chinese … will find some cute little Tibetan boy they can control. – Jamyang Norbu, Tibetan novelist

“He is acting very irresponsibly,” said Jamyang Norbu, a Tibetan novelist and essayist who lives in Tennessee. “The Chinese have already set up a commission to pick the next Dalai Lama. If we don’t get in on the game, they will do it before us. They will find some cute little Tibetan boy they can control.”

Norbu, who tends to articulate frustrations that few others voice publicly, has long criticized the Dalai Lama for being too soft on China.
“It is not that the Tibetan people have given up their goals,” he said. “His holiness has given up.”

ASTEROID DAY – DOOMSDAY PROPHECY – BEIJING IS DOOMED

ASTEROID DAY – DOOMSDAY PROPHECY – BEIJING IS DOOMED

**ASTEROID DAY JUNE 30, 2015. DOOMSDAY PREDICTION . BEIJING THE SEAT OF EVIL EMPIRE IS DOOMED. ARTIST”S DEPICTION OF “TUNGUSKA EVENT.”**

June 30, 2015 is designated as “ASTEROID DAY” to promote public awareness about asteroids and real possibility of impact by heavenly objects. Scientists report asteroid strike on June 30, 1908 at TUNGUSKA, Siberia in Russia. 40 metre-wide lump of space rock reached Siberia at a speed of 33, 500 miles per hour, exploded mid-air releasing energy of a large hydrogen bomb flattening 2000 square kilometres of Conifer forest.

Planet Earth has already experienced several such impacts by heavenly objects like comets, asteroids, and meteors which left behind evidence in the form of impact craters.

I identify myself as Doomsayer of Doom Dooma. My Doomsday Prophecy is from Bible’s The New Testament Book of REVELATION, Chapter 18. The Prophecy is about sudden downfall of Evil Empire in a calamity, disaster, and catastrophe that brings ruin in a very unexpected manner. Beijing is the seat of power of The Evil Red Empire. However, a heavenly object may strike at Red China’s largest city, SHANGHAI, world’s busiest seaport. Bible’s The Old Testament Book of ISAIAH, Chapter 47 shares a similar prediction of a future event that will destroy a major City:

“Disaster will come upon you,
and you will not know how to conjure it away.
A calamity will fall upon you
that you cannot ward off with a ransom;
a catastrophe you cannot foresee
will suddenly come upon you.” (ISAIAH 47:11)

All nations and merchants who trade with Red China will be terrified at her torment. They will weep, mourn, and cry out:

“They will throw dust on their heads,
and with weeping and mourning cry out:
‘Woe! Woe, O great City,
where all who had ships on the sea
became rich through her wealth!
In one hour she has been brought to ruin’!” (REVELATION 18:19)

SEARCH FOR DEADLY ASTEROIDS MUST BE ACCELERATED TO PROTECT EARTH, SAY EXPERTS

ASTEROID DAY JUNE 30, 2015. DOOMSDAY PREDICTION. CATASTROPHE TO STRIKE SHANGHAI CITY, RED CHINA.

An artist’s impression of a catastrophic asteroid strike. Campaigners say that 99% of asteroids that have the potential to crash into Earth are unknown to us.

© Alamy An artist’s impression of a catastrophic asteroid strike. Campaigners say that 99% of asteroids that have the potential to crash into earth are unknown to us.

The search for deadly asteroids that could slam into Earth must be speeded up 100-fold to help protect the future of life on Earth, according to an influential group of scientists, astronauts and rock stars.

The call for action comes as experts around the world take part in ASTEROID DAY, an event on Tuesday marked by a series of talks and debates aimed at raising awareness of the existential threat posed by hurtling rocks from the heavens.

Lord Rees, the astronomer royal, and Brian May, from the rock group Queen, added their names to the 100X Declaration, which calls for a rapid acceleration in human efforts to find and track potentially dangerous asteroids. Other signatories including Peter Gabriel, Richard Dawkins, Brian Cox and Eileen Collins, the first female commander of Nasa’s space shuttle.

“The aim is to ramp up public awareness and the awareness of governments to the fact that we are under threat from a meteor strike,” May told the Guardian. “It’s been made light of, and we’ve seen some great films, like Bruce Willis saving the day, but it is a very serious threat.”

Asteroid Day falls on the anniversary of an asteroid strike in 1908 that saw a 40 metre-wide lump of space rock enter the atmosphere over Tunguska in Siberia at about 33,500 miles per hour. The rock exploded mid-air and released the energy of a large hydrogen bomb, which flattened 2000 sq km of conifer forest.

Were an asteroid of the same size to slam into the atmosphere over London, the blast could destroy much of the capital within the M25. People in cities as far away as Oxford could be burned by the intense heat released in the explosion. In Scotland, the same blast would still have the force to blow peoples’ hats off.

From observations with ground-based telescopes, researchers know that of the million or so asteroids that could one day strike Earth, only about 10,000 are known and tracked. That means we are in the dark about 99% of the asteroids that have the potential to crash into the planet.

“They are clearly a threat and for the first time it is possible for us to do something to reduce that threat,” Lord Rees told the Guardian.

“It is now feasible to do a survey of all the potentially Earth-crossing asteroids above 50m in diameter, and objects like that impact Earth about once per century. One could then check their orbits to see if any are on a collision course with Earth and within 20-30 years have technology to divert any that are on course,” he added.

Huge asteroids several kilometres across are expected to hit Earth every ten million years or so. These can cause destruction on a global scale. A ten kilometre-wide space rock that crashed into what is now Mexico triggered a global catastrophe 68 million years ago which brought the reign of the dinosaurs to an end.

Since most of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, asteroids are more likely to arrive over the oceans. But these can be the worst impact sites for asteroids of about 300 metres wide. If one landed in the mid-Atlantic, it would produce a tsunami wave that could devastate cities on the east coast of the US, and along the coast of Europe.

“We know the rough numbers, we just don’t know when a particular asteroid is going to hit. If we are going to take precautions, we need to know the orbits of all of these bodies,” Rees said.

“The first thing is to do the survey to find out if there are any asteroids which seem to be on course with a high probability of hitting within the next 50 years. If we knew there was one on course to hit the Earth in next 50 years, that would focus minds on the technology.”

One mission, proposed by Nasa, aims to catalogue two-thirds of the asteroids and other “near earth objects” that are larger than 140m and come close to Earth’s orbit. The

NEOCam mission would use an infra-red camera to garner information on asteroid size, shape, rotation and composition. A private mission called Sentinel, which would put an another infra-red telescope in space, is being led by Ed Lu, a former space shuttle astronaut.

Scientists are actively looking at ways to protect Earth from any asteroids that do turn out to be on a collision course. One strategy is to crash a massive spacecraft into the asteroid and change its trajectory. Another option is a “gravity tractor”. In this scenario, a spacecraft flies along an inbound asteroid for long enough that its minuscule gravitational tug diverts the asteroid enough to pass Earth safely. Both could run into problems in a real situation, though: if the nudge does not work as expected, the asteroid may miss one city only to hit another.

The option to lob nuclear warheads at an incoming asteroid is appealing to Hollywood, but less so to many scientists, including May, who has a PhD in astrophysics.

“Blowing it up is probably not the greatest option, because you have a lot of fragments to deal with then, and it becomes rather random, but deflecting it one way or another seems to be an option,” he said.

“It’s absolutely possible there’s something out there of the magnitude that would wipe out a major city of the world, and that’s a very big thing: you’re talking about a human disaster on a vast scale.

“This is about saving us all. All the people on the planet, all the creatures on the planet, everything which we have built up and might be proud of. It’s a kind of insurance if you like,” he said.

Whole Alert – Red China’s Policy of Brinkmanship

Red China – Red Alert – The policy of Brinkmanship

RED DRAGON - RED CHINA - RED ALERT - BRINKMANSHIP - MILITARY DOMINANCE : AN IMMINENT THREAT TO PEACE AND SECURITY OF ALL NATIONS. — **RED DRAGON – RED CHINA – RED ALERT – BRINKMANSHIP – MILITARY DOMINANCE : AN IMMINENT THREAT TO PEACE AND SECURITY OF ALL NATIONS.**

The term ‘brink’ means the edge, especially at the top of a steep place. Very often ‘brink’ is used figuratively such as “At the brink of War.” Brinkmanship refers to the policy of pursuing a hazardous course of action to the brink of catastrophe. Red China’s Policy of Economic Expansionism draws support from her Policy of Military Expansionism. Red China’s pursuit of world’s territories, and natural resources is accompanied by her aggressive expansion of political influence over other nations to cause nations to become subservient to Red China’s ambitions. Red China’s Policy of ‘Brinkmanship’ has to be exposed, has to be effectively contained and has to be resisted at every place apart from South China Sea where the dispute is receiving attention of news media.

5 MILLION REASONS CHINA MAY BE DRAWN INTO GLOBAL CONFLICTS

By DAVID TWEED

BLOOMBERG

With five million offshore citizens to protect and billions of investment dollars at stake, China is rethinking its policy of keeping out of other countries’ affairs.

China has long made loans conditional on contracts for its companies. In recent years it has sent an army of its nationals to work on pipelines, roads and dams in such hot spots as South Sudan, Yemen and Pakistan. Increasingly, it has to go across borders to protect or rescue them.

That makes it harder to stick to the policy espoused by then-premier Zhou Enlai in 1955 of not interfering in “internal” matters, something that has seen China decline to back international sanctions against Russia over Ukraine or the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

As President Xi Jinping’s “Silk Road” program of trade routes gets under way, with infrastructure projects planned across Central Asia, the Indian Ocean and the Middle East to Europe, China’s footprint abroad will expand from the $108 billion that firms invested abroad in 2013, up from less than $3 billion a decade earlier.

That is forcing China to take a more proactive approach to securing its interests and the safety of its people. With more engagement abroad there’s a risk that China, an emerging power with a military to match, is sucked into conflicts and runs up against the U.S. when tensions are already flaring over China’s disputed claims in the South China Sea.

“It is going to be a long, hard haul,” said Kerry Brown, director of the University of Sydney’s China Studies Centre. “You either have disruption as a new power rips up the rule book and causes bedlam or you’ve got a gradual transition where China is ceded more space but also expected to have more responsibility.”

The site was christened by Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang. Li arrived in Ethiopia for the start of a four-nation African tour, his first visit to the continent since assuming his position a little over a year ago.

Yemen, Myanmar

For more than a half century China stuck to Zhou’s policy predicated on non-interference and respect for the sovereignty of others. The policy partly reflected a focus on domestic stability and economic development by governments that lacked the means or interest to play a more active role offshore. It also led President Barack Obama to last year describe China’s leaders as “free riders” while others carried the global security burden.

China’s greater involvement in projects around the world comes along its military expansion, as it seeks to project its power abroad and challenge decades of U.S. dominance of the global economic and strategic order. U.S. policymakers are debating whether to find ways to accommodate China’s rise or to seek to contain it.
As China’s policy evolves its leaders are dipping their toe into areas once considered taboo, including the practice of dealing only with a country’s leaders.

Myanmar Meeting

Xi met Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi in Beijing on June 11 to lay the foundation for improved ties ahead of a November election in Myanmar, and there are reports China has hosted peace talks between the Afghan government and Taliban.

On June 9 China called for a cease-fire in Yemen, during a teleconference between China’s ambassador Tian Qi and the United Nations envoy to Yemen, according to a posting on the website of China’s embassy.

China sent naval vessels into Yemen’s waters in April to rescue 629 Chinese citizens and 279 foreign nationals from escalating violence, the first time the People’s Liberation Army helped other countries evacuate their citizens.

“Protection of nationals and interests abroad particularly with big new projects like the Silk Road in the works, is likely to be long-term very significant for China’s evolution as a great power,” said Jonas Parello-Plesner, a diplomat at the Danish embassy in Washington, DC. “How China behaves in other parts of world will be a litmus test on its road to great power status.”

Five Million

Chinese investment abroad picked up from 2002 after then Premier Jiang Zemin championed a “going out” policy, even as he repeated China would not meddle in the internal affairs of other countries.

Parello-Plesner and Mathieu Duchatel, who co-wrote “China’s Strong Arm: Protecting Citizens and Assets Abroad” estimate there are five million workers offshore, based on research and interviews with officials, a figure that’s about five times larger than that given by the Ministry of Commerce.

The official data reflect a lack of systemic consular registration and the absence of formal reporting by subcontractors sending workers abroad, according to Parello- Plesner and Duchatel, who estimate about 80 Chinese nationals were killed overseas between 2004 and 2014. Duchatel is a Beijing-based senior researcher at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.

‘Greater Range’

“There are now several countries that – in terms of the number of Chinese citizens there – are ‘too big to fail’,” said Parello-Plesner. “The business-oriented ‘going-out’ strategy now has to be squared with broader strategic calculations.”

China’s foreign-policy evolution is becoming institutionalized. The concept of protecting nationals was added to the priority list at the 18th Communist Party Congress in 2012. The PLA’s role in protecting China’s interests abroad was enshrined in the 2013 Defense White Paper for the first time.

This year’s Defense White paper went further, noting the “national security issues facing China encompass far more subjects, extend over a greater range, and cover a longer time span than at any time in the country’s history.”

“While China is not likely to publicly drop the non – interference principle what we’ll see is increasing fluctuation in how it is applied — or not applied,” said Alexander Sullivan, an associate fellow at the Center for a New American Security in Washington.

South Sudan

“The departures from this policy that we have seen thus far have been driven generally by commercial and resource interests that for one reason or another come under threat.”
Sullivan said Sudan and South Sudan have been a testing ground for China policy. After the outbreak of civil war in South Sudan, China persuaded other members of the Security Council in May last year to extend the United Nations peacekeeping mandate to South Sudan, where China National Petroleum Corp. has oilfield investments. China has sent 700 troops to join that mission.

China’s biggest overseas intervention was in Libya in 2011, when 35,000 workers were transported out at the start of the uprising against Muammar Qaddafi’s regime, mostly by air and sea.

As the trade route projects get under way, Pakistan will pose one of the biggest risks to the security of Chinese workers. The first investment of China’s $40 billion Silk Road infrastructure fund is $1.65 billion for the Karot dam on the Jhelum river in northern Pakistan.

Pakistan Force

Before announcing the project, Pakistan agreed to train a 10,000-strong security force to protect Chinese nationals building a $45 billion economic corridor from China to the deep – water port of Gwadar on the Arabian Sea. The route runs through Baluchistan, a thinly populated Pakistan province where an insurgency has killed thousands.

“Chinese foreign policy is taking a bigger role in global problem solving,” said Pang Zhongying, dean of the Institute of International Affairs at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou. “The Silk Road is in essence bringing a lot of foreign policy changes but we still know little about its prospects.”

Whole Alert – Freedom in Tibet is at Extreme Danger

Red China Poses Red Alert – Freedom in Tibet is at Extreme Danger

On behalf of Special Frontier Force I share my concern about Tibet’s Freedom. Decades of military occupation and repressive rule by Red China could not wipe out Tibetan Identity. As long as Tibetan Identity lives, Tibetans will continue to resist military occupation and will continue to seek their natural rights. The problem is indeed about the loss of American Identity. Americans have lost connection with values that shaped founding of their nation. Democracy, Freedom, Human Rights, and Peace do not continue to inspire the minds of American people. Tibet’s Freedom is at risk as American Values have evaporated.

Tibet Isn’t Free Yet; That Doesn’t Mean the Dalai Lama Has Failed

Freya Putt, Human rights activist & Deputy Director at Tibet Action Institute: Tibet Isn’t Free Yet; That Doesn’t Mean the Dalai Lama Has Failed

Posted: 06/25/2015 3:38 pm EDT

In recent years, I’ve noticed an increasing trend of articles and commentaries examining the Dalai Lama’s life and legacy that conclude Tibetans, and he as their leader, have failed in their cause to restore freedom to Tibet. Having worked for this movement for 18 years, I can understand having doubts about what the future holds. But really? Failed? It’s a done deal?

**Tibet Isn’t Free Yet; That Doesn’t Mean the Dalai Lama Has Failed**

Some voiced similar sentiments in the 1960s and 1970s, when most people had never heard of Tibet, and certainly no countries were bothering to advocate for Tibetan political prisoners or other rights. China had been “lost” by the west and Tibetans were unfortunate casualties.

But the gloom-and-doom analysis proved to be misguided then, as the mere handful of Tibetan refugees who had resettled globally built awareness and inspired activism. Huge protests in Lhasa in the late 1980s, as well as the Dalai Lama’s Nobel Peace Prize, Hollywood and the Tibetan Freedom Concerts, drove Tibet into international public consciousness. Likewise, this frame of analysis is misguided now.

Perhaps I’m just too invested to acknowledge that the cause is lost. But I don’t think so.

First of all, it’s human nature that where there’s injustice, there’s struggle. People don’t just give up trying to make their lives better because the odds are against them; the daily effort to resist indignities and oppose oppression continues regardless of what the endgame might be. Tibetans demonstrate this constantly, showing their opposition to China’s occupation by wearing traditional clothes, patronizing Tibetan-owned shops, holding onto their language and fighting for its use in schools, deploying art, music and poetry to express themselves and rally each other, using blockades and other direct action to protect lands, and even making the extreme choice to light themselves on fire in defiance of Chinese rule.

In fact, while state oppression has increased in recent years, resistance in Tibet has grown and deepened. A decade ago, opposition to Chinese rule seemed to manifest mainly through small, unplanned protests, which though symbolically powerful, are easily countered by China. Today, resistance is constant, sophisticated, and waged on many fronts.

And while our collective memory is short, it shouldn’t be too much of a stretch to remember that many — perhaps most — conflicts about rights, territory and self-governance have taken decades or centuries to resolve. Think slavery and civil rights in the U.S.A., Irish independence, the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa, Indian independence and decolonization the world over.

The conditions affecting rights and freedom for Tibet are daunting, to say the least. China has steadily gained economic clout and countries increasingly react in fear when it flexes its economic muscle. Tibetans number roughly six million, Chinese 1.3 billion. Tibet’s high, mountainous plateau has kept it isolated and made it easier for China to severely limit both physical and virtual interaction between Tibetans and the outside world. And Tibet’s mineral and water resources and strategic location in the heart of Asia make it an economic and geopolitical prize.

Looking at these factors, it shouldn’t be a big surprise that the Tibetan struggle hasn’t yet been won.

But not having yet won a struggle is very different from having lost it. Bill Moyer, an American theorist and activist, developed a strategic model for explaining the progress of social movements and used case studies to illustrate eight distinct phases. He emphasized that after substantial gains, such as building a mass movement, achieving popular support and defining an issue as a problem on society’s agenda, movements often find themselves mired in a sense of despair and powerlessness based on a misperception of their progress.

Tibetan freedom movement has made significant strides toward its goals: establishing the legitimacy of Tibetans’ claims to freedom, building a mass base of popular global support, overpowering China’s propaganda factory in the media, and making Tibet a constant challenge to China’s reputation on the global stage. There is much more to be done, clearly, but the critical foundation has already been built.

In fact, amidst all the tragedy, suffering and daily hardship that Tibetans face, there is much to celebrate. Far from having failed, the Dalai Lama should be recognized as one of the global leaders of the 20th and 21st century who has made an indelible, positive impact on the world.

The Dalai Lama brought the issue of Tibet to the world and inspired tens if not hundreds of thousands of people to support the cause. He bridged the various religious, regional and other divides within the Tibetan community to unify Tibetans behind a strategic approach to the struggle that included making it visible internationally — despite China’s constant objections and best efforts

On behalf of Special Frontier Force I issuing a ‘RED ALERT’ to warn US citizens of imminent danger as United States holds three days of cabinet-level meetings with more than 400 Chinese officials. Under the wide-ranging Strategic and Economic Dialogue(S &ED)framework, eight US Cabinet Secretaries are involved in these talks and consultations with Chinese officials.

The term ‘HEGEMONY’ describes dominance of one state or nation over others. Hegemonism is the Policy or Practice of a nation in aggressively expanding its influence over other nations. Red China formulated her Hegemonistic Policy in 1950 when she conquered Tibet bringing Tibetan people under her control or subjection. Red China subdued Tibetan Government and forced Tibet’s Head of State to live in exile. Red China’s Hegemonic Practice forces Tibetan people to become subservient to Peking(or Beijing). United States has to recognize Red China as “HEGEMONIST” and counteract to contain Red China’s growing political, economic, military power which she uses to expand her influence over other nations of our world.

U.S. AND CHINA OPEN ANNUAL DIALOGUE WITH ‘CANDID, TO-THE-POINT’ TALKS

BY DAVID BRUNNNSTROM

The United States and China held “candid and to-the-point” talks at the start of three days of cabinet-level meetings aimed at managing the highly complex relationship between the world’s two biggest economies, a senior U.S. official said.

The U.S. side, led on Monday by Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken, reiterated U.S. concerns about China’s pursuit of territorial claims in the South China Sea, the official said.

U.S. worries about cybersecurity following massive attacks on government computers that U.S. officials have blamed on Chinese hackers would also be addressed “in very direct terms,” the official said.

More than 400 Chinese officials are in Washington for the annual talks under the wide-ranging Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED) framework, which will involve eight U.S. cabinet secretaries.

RED DRAGON - RED CHINA - RED ALERT - HEGEMONIST : RED CHINA'S VICE PREMIER WANG YANG IN MT VERNON, VIRGINIA. — RED DRAGON – RED CHINA – RED ALERT – HEGEMONIST : RED CHINA’S VICE PREMIER WANG YANG IN MT VERNON, VIRGINIA.

The meetings come at a time of waning trust and widening differences between the two countries, even though they maintain robust economic ties worth $590 billion in two-way trade last year.

U.S. concerns have been mounting about Beijing’s challenge to its dominance of global finance and about restrictions on U.S. businesses in China.

U.S. President Barack Obama is struggling to secure backing from Congress for legislation needed to speed a 12-nation trade deal, which is the economic plank of his Asia policy intended as a counterweight to China’s growing influence.

The two sides will try to ease tensions by stressing areas of cooperation, including climate change, shared concerns about Iran and North Korea’s nuclear programs, the fight against Islamist militancy, and support for global development.

“We have agreed with the Chinese that we are going to try to expand those areas where our interests overlap and expand cooperation in those areas,” the U.S. official said. But the aim was not to “paper over” contentious issues, or to “agree to disagree,” but to narrow differences to avoid miscalculations.

Despite the considerable areas of tension, China is hoping for a smooth set of meetings to prepare for a visit to Washington by President Xi Jinping in September.
Prospects for substantial outcomes from the cabinet-level meetings appeared slim, with any scant progress likely to be held over for announcement during Xi’s visit, analysts said.

The sides are expected to discuss a Bilateral Investment Treaty that has been seven years in discussion but has been held up by restrictions on both sides, while China is likely to press its bid to add the yuan to the International Monetary Fund’s basket of reserve currencies.

Blinken and Secretary of State John Kerry will chair the security side of the talks with State Councillor Yang Jiechi and Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Yesui on the Chinese side.

Countries that share South and East China Sea have sighted the Red Dragon and started responding to threat the Beast poses. It is very unfortunate to note that these nations practically had no ability to respond when Red Dragon attacked Tibet and occupied that nation in 1950. Since Red Dragon has a policy of extending her territory in all directions, Red Dragon must be confronted from all directions.

Philippines in US, Japan naval drills amid China sea row

Puerto Princesa (Philippines) (AFP) – The Philippines Monday began separate but simultaneous naval exercises with the United States and Japan, amid shared and growing concern at Chinese island-building in the disputed South China Sea.

Manila has been holding the naval drills with its longtime ally Washington since 1995. But the exercise with Tokyo, a World War II foe, is only its second ever after one earlier this year.
This week’s Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) drill with Washington will include a P-3 Orion aircraft, of the type used by the US to monitor the South China Sea.

China claims almost the entire Sea despite competing claims from the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam, and has been taking strong action including reclamation to assert sovereignty.

“CARAT remains a practical way to address shared maritime security priorities, enhance our capabilities, and improve interoperability between our forces,” the US exercise commander, Rear Admiral William Merz, said at the opening ceremony in Puerto Princesa city on the southwestern Philippine island of Palawan.

Rear Admiral Leopoldo Alano, commander of the Philippine Fleet, described the drill as a great opportunity “to gain valuable experience and increase our interoperability.”

US Marines board on an amphibious assault vehicle after a mock beach assault drill with their Philippines partners …

The drills will also feature for the first time the littoral combat ship USS Fort Worth, and involve the rescue and salvage ship USNS Safeguard.
While it does not take sides in the dispute, the US has in recent weeks intensified its criticism of China’s reclamation work, which has created new islands including airstrips on reefs and shoals also claimed by its neighbours.

The US says the activities could pose a threat to freedom of navigation.

China said last week its land reclamation in the disputed Spratly islands would finish soon but be followed by “facility construction”.

The Philippines has asked a United Nations tribunal to reject China’s claims to most of the Sea, a move angrily rejected by Beijing which says the world body has no authority in the matter.

This week’s naval exercise will be held both on Palawan, the closest land mass to the disputed reefs and waters, and in the Sulu Sea to the east of the island.
The Filipino forces in the drills, including the US-acquired frigates BRP Ramon Alcaraz and BRP Gregorio del Pilar, also regularly patrol the South China Sea.

The exercise will focus on combined maritime operations, mobile dive and salvage training, coastal riverine operations and maritime patrol and reconnaissance along with seminars ashore, the US Navy said.

Japan, which has its own maritime dispute with China in the East China Sea, has also expressed concern at Beijing’s reclamation further south.
On Monday it began three days of drills with the Philippine Navy involving a Japanese P-3C patrol aircraft.

The drills, which will also include a Philippine Navy aircraft, will focus on joint search and rescue operations on the high seas, the Philippine Navy said.
They will take place in international airspace and outside Philippine territorial waters, it said in a statement.

TIBETANS PRAY FOR DALAI LAMA AT 80th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

BY LOBSANG WANGYAL WITH CLAIRE COZENS IN NEW DELHI.

Dharamsala (India) (AFP) – The Dalai Lama marked his official 80th birthday on Sunday, with prayers and celebrations at his hometown in exile but little to show for decades of lobbying seeking greater Tibetan autonomy.

The Nobel laureate will be in the United States when he turns 80 on July 6, but Sunday is his official birthday according to the Tibetan lunar calendar, and he celebrated with his family, fans and followers in Dharamsala.

The jovial Tibetan spiritual leader told fellow exiles and Indian and foreign dignitaries that he expected to live another 20 years and would continue to work for the promotion of compassion and religious harmony.

“I hope you will join me again to celebrate my 90th birthday,” he said in a speech at the Tsuglakhang Temple in Dharamsala, the north Indian hill town where he has lived since fleeing Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule.

The leader of the government-in-exile wished the Dalai Lama a happy birthday on behalf of all Tibetans, thanking him for his lifelong commitment to safeguarding Tibet and its culture and for his teachings on “universal responsibility to foster religious harmony worldwide”.

“You have empowered us with democracy and hope… for the people around the world, you are the beacon of hope and light to all the people,” Lobsang Sangay told an 8,000-strong crowd.

The Dalai Lama (R) greets thousands of his followers at his 80th birthday celebrations at Tsuglakhang Temple.

“For Tibetans, you are the life and the soul of Tibet.”

The event included traditional dancing and a special long-life prayer for the Buddhist spiritual leader, who shows no sign of slowing down.
Although he has officially given up his political role, the Dalai Lama maintains a hectic schedule of foreign travel and is due to visit Britain this month before travelling on to the United States.

But his retirement from politics in 2011 was a reminder to exiled Tibetans that the man who remains the universally recognised face of the movement will not be around forever.

“The two big questions are what will happen after he’s gone and whether Tibetans inside and outside China will look to his replacement in the same way,” said Jayadeva Ranade, president of the Centre for China Analysis and Strategy in New Delhi.

Exile Tibetans prepare to sing to the Dalai Lama at his 80th birthday celebrations at Tsuglakhang temple.

Sunday’s ceremony in Dharamsala — home to thousands of Tibetan refugees — is a time for celebration, but also for reflection on the Dalai Lama’s push for greater autonomy for Tibet under Chinese rule.

The elderly monk’s promotion of non-violence along with his ready laugh have made him a global peace icon and kept Tibet firmly in the global spotlight.
He has been a unifying force for Tibetans inside and outside the mountainous region, but has little to show for his decades of lobbying.

Formal negotiations with Beijing broke down in 2010 after making no headway, and many exiled Tibetans remain deeply sceptical about renewing them.

Beijing accuses the Dalai Lama of trying to split Tibet from the rest of China and has called him a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”.
In 2011 the Dalai Lama delegated his political responsibilities to a prime minister elected by Tibetan exiles in an attempt to lessen his own totemic status and secure the movement’s future after his death.

But he remains the most powerful rallying point for Tibetans, both in exile and in their homeland.
Last year he told German newspaper Welt am Sonntag that doctors had told him he could live to 100, adding, “in my dreams I will die at the age of 113 years.”

Nonetheless advancing years have raised succession questions.
The soul of a senior lama is believed to be reincarnated after death in the body of a child.

Traditionally the search for a new Dalai Lama is conducted by high lamas — senior monks who fan out across Tibet to look for the child who shows signs of being the reincarnation.
China however has indicated it will have the final say over the appointment of a new Tibetan spiritual leader — raising fears of two competing Dalai Lamas.
This happened in 1995 when Beijing rejected the Dalai Lama’s choice to be the next Panchen Lama, the second-highest ranking Tibetan Buddhist, and instead picked its own.

The 14th Dalai Lama has repeatedly said he may not be reincarnated — to the apparent frustration of Beijing.
“The Dalai Lama institution will cease one day,” he told the BBC in December.

“Much better that a centuries-old tradition cease at the time of a popular Dalai Lama.”

Whole Evil – Who can make War against Red China?

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE - RED DRAGON - WHO CAN FIGHT A WAR AGAINST RED CHINA? — **The Evil Red Empire – Who can make War against Red China?**

Red Dragon is impressing nations of this world by expanding her military power. The New Testament Book Revelation, Chapter 13 describes a scenario which is relevant to the rising power of Red Dragon. I am quoting verses 1,2, and 4 from Revelation, Chapter 13:

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE - RED CHINA - THE BEAST - WHO CAN MAKE WAR AGAINST THE BEAST? — **The Evil Red Empire – Who can make War against Red China?**

1. And the Dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a Beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.

2. The Beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The Dragon gave the Beast his power and his throne and great authority.

4. Men worshiped the Dragon because he had given authority to the Beast, and they also worshiped the Beast and asked, “Who is like the Beast? Who can make war against him?”

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE - RED CHINA - RED DRAGON - WHO CAN MAKE WAR AGAINST RED CHINA? — **The Evil Red Empire – Who can make War against Red China? Red China vs Tibet – David vs Goliath – Who can make War against the Beast?**

RED CHINA VS TIBET - DAVID VS GOLIATH - WHO CAN MAKE WAR AGAINST THE BEAST? — **The Evil Red Empire – Who can make War against Red China? Red China vs Tibet – David vs Goliath – Who can make War against the Beast?**

At Special Frontier Force, we do not worship The Dragon or The. We are trained to recognize Red China, Red Dragon, Scarlet Beast, and The Beast as our Adversary, Opponent, or Enemy. We describe War against Red China as a ‘Battle of Right Against Might’. Red Dragon used her military power and great authority to illegally occupy Tibet, her weak neighbor. If a War against Red China is the only solution to wipe out injustice in Tibet, we will confront Red China just like David challenged Goliath with a sling and a smooth pebble as his weapon of War.

China: Milestones in the Dragon’s Rise

The passage of history is often marked by milestones whose significance lies less in the events they commemorate then it does in the underlying trends that they confirm and validate. These last weeks, were punctuated by a series of such milestones. By themselves, these events mark noteworthy developments in China’s contemporary history. Collectively, they underscore the far reaching changes that are transforming China and its growing role on the international stage.

Last week, the collective valuation of China’s publicly traded equity exceeded 10 trillion dollars for the first time in its history. Considering that forty odd years ago China’s equity markets were moribund, the benchmark is astonishing.

The Amsterdam, now part of the Euronext, and London stock exchanges, the world’s oldest, both of which have been around since the seventeenth centuries, are well below this level. The combined European exchanges, at 15 trillion dollars in valuation, and the combined value of the U.S. stock exchanges at 20 trillion, however, still, at least for now, exceed the capitalization of China’s public equity market by a considerable margin.

No doubt the “loose” monetary policies pursued by the major central banks has facilitated the rise in the value of China’s stock markets. Since the introduction of “quantitative easing” by the U.S. Federal reserve Bank in 2008 and similar policies by other central banks, the value of the world’s stock markets have doubled. China’s markets have more than quadrupled. Collectively, the world’s stock markets now represent about a quarter of the world’s combined financial assets.

In one sense the fact that China, the world’s second largest economy, should also have the world’s second highest valued equity market should not come as a big surprise. The two, while not inexorably linked, do tend to proceed in tandem. The rise in China’s economic power, which the rise in its stock markets underscore, however, has also fuelled a concomitant rise in China’s international military and political ambitions. Those ambitions and their consequences were driven home last week by a number of other events.

On June 6, Hungary became the first European nation to formally sign a cooperation agreement for China’s new “Silk Road” initiative to develop trade and transport infrastructure across Asia. The historic “silk road” was a system of overland caravan routes across central Asia that linked China, via the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, with the Middle East, Russia and Europe. The trade route flourished in particular during the 13th and 14th century as a result of the Mongol conquest of much of Central Asia and China and resulted in the first significant and sustained contact between Medieval Europe and China.

This new initiative, first unveiled in 2014, represents a far more ambitious undertaking and consists of a number of far-ranging infrastructure projects including a network of railways, highways, oil and gas pipelines, power grids, Internet networks, maritime and other infrastructure links across Central, West and South Asia extending from the coastal cities of the South and East China Seas as far as Greece, Russia and Oman,

This multi-trillion dollar investment program would represent an unprecedented expansion of Chinese political and economic influence across Central Asia resulting in trillions of dollars in trade and facilitate the expansion of Chinese exports to Europe. It would allow China to further cement its economic and trade relationships in the oil and mineral rich countries of Central Asia. Many of these nations, former Soviet Republics, are also being heavily wooed by Moscow to become part of Russia’s Eurasian Economic Union.

In the meantime along the South China Sea littoral, two other developments underscore the far reaching ripples of China’s ambitions. In recent months, Beijing has undertaken a massive land reclamation project designed to increase the surface area of a number of contested shoals in the South China Sea and allow the construction of air fields and permanent military facilities. The shoals are part of two island groups, the Paracel and the Spratly Islands.

Control of these islands has been disputed by the nations surrounding the South China Sea since at least the 3rd century BC. At stake, are fishing rights and the potential for vast untapped hydrocarbon reserves below the seafloor. The region also contains key maritime transit routes that are vital to the countries that border the South China Sea or its peripheral areas.

Ironically, the practice of building up the shoals to allow permanent facilities was a practice that began with the Philippine and Vietnamese governments. China was late to the party but is now making up for its tardiness with an unprecedented program of land reclamation. Should Beijing succeed in enforcing its claims, the South China Sea would become a virtual Chinese lake and allow China to project military force from a string of newly created islands along its periphery.

China’s ambitions to control the South China Sea and its potential resources has raised concerns among the other countries that border the region. Two events in recent weeks, marking unprecedented cooperation among former enemies, underscore the gravity of those concerns.

On June 5, Japanese and Philippine media disclosed that from June 22 through the 26th Japan and the Philippines planned to hold a joint maritime drill in the South China Sea. This was the second such drill in as many months although Philippine government sources described this drill as the first “official” joint exercise between the two countries since the end of the Second World War.

More significantly, in addition to pledging to strengthening security cooperation between the two countries and to concluding an agreement for the transfer of “defense equipment and technology and expanding bilateral and multilateral trainings and exercises”, the two countries also agreed to open discussions on a visiting forces agreement that would allow Tokyo access to Philippine military bases.

This is the first time that Japanese forces would have ongoing access to Philippine military facilities since the end of WW II. While the agreement stops short of a permanent Japanese military presence in the Philippines it does allow for a continuous rotation of Japanese Military Self Defense Forces (JMSDF) that would result in much the same thing.

The presence of Japanese military forces on the Philippines is not without some controversy. Eighty years of Philippine-Japanese cooperation have not entirely healed the scars of Japan’s brutal occupation of the Philippines during the Second World War.

In the meantime, on the opposite end of the South China Sea, two other historic enemies, Vietnam and the United States, announced that in July, Nguyen Phu Trong, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam was expected to visit the United States.

The visit caps a process of reconciliation between the two former combatants that began in 1995 when Washington finally opened diplomatic relations with Hanoi and which has seen the execution of a broad range of agreements between the two countries including, significantly, in 2014, the lifting of the U.S. embargo against supplying military hardware to Vietnam.

More significantly, Vietnam’s growing cooperation with the United States heralds a profound realignment of Hanoi’s foreign policy from an “unofficial” strategic partnership with China to a defacto strategic alignment with the United States. The fact that Hanoi is prepared to undertake such a realignment, notwithstanding its still broad ideological differences with Washington, underscores how significantly its attitude towards its former “strategic protector” and “big brother has changed.

Three events, none of which elicited more than a ripple of interest in the western media and which individually are unlikely to merit much more than a footnote in the broad sweep of China’s history. Collectively however, they underscore the profound, far-reaching changes that are realigning the political and strategic landscape of East Asia.

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – RED CHINA – CYBERSPACE INVASION

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – RED CHINA – CYBERSPACE INVASION

Red China has successfully launched a ‘Cyberspace Invasion’ and has stolen US assets without need for Land, Air, or Sea Invasion. Red China has to be recognized as “AGGRESSOR” and her aggressive actions and behavior demand a meaningful response and not diplomatic negotiations about cybersecurity. To describe ‘Cyberspace Invasion’ as “DATA BREACH” will compromise Homeland Security.

U.S. EMPLOYEE DATA BREACH TIED TO CHINESE INTELLIGENCE


By Joseph Menn

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – The Chinese hacking group suspected of stealing sensitive information about millions of current and former U.S. government employees has a different mission and organizational structure than the military hackers who have been accused of other U.S. data breaches, according to people familiar with the matter.

While the Chinese People’s Liberation Army typically goes after defense and trade secrets, this hacking group has repeatedly accessed data that could be useful to Chinese counter-intelligence and internal stability, said two people close to the U.S. investigation.

Washington has not publicly accused Beijing of orchestrating the data breach at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and China has dismissed as “irresponsible and unscientific” any suggestion that it was behind the attack.

Sources told Reuters that the hackers employed a rare tool to take remote control of computers, dubbed Sakula, that was also used in the data breach at U.S. health insurer Anthem Inc last year.

The Anthem attack, in turn, has been tied to a group that security researchers said is affiliated with China’s Ministry of State Security, which is focused on government stability, counter-intelligence and dissidents. The ministry could not immediately be reached for comment.

In addition, U.S. investigators believe the hackers registered the deceptively named OPM-Learning.org website to try to capture employee names and passwords, in the same way that Anthem, formerly known as Wellpoint, was subverted with spurious websites such as We11point.com, which used the number “1” instead of the letter “l”.

Both the Anthem and OPM breaches used malicious software electronically signed as safe with a certificate stolen from DTOPTOOLZ Co, a Korean software company, the people close to the inquiry said. DTOPTOOLZ said it had no involvement in the data breaches.

The FBI did not respond to requests for comment. People familiar with its investigation said Sakula had only been seen in use by a small number of Chinese hacking teams.

“Chinese law prohibits hacking attacks and other such behaviors which damage Internet security,” China’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement. “The Chinese government takes resolute strong measures against any kind of hacking attack. We oppose baseless insinuations against China.”

Most of the biggest U.S. cyber attacks blamed on China have been attributed, with varying degrees of certitude, to elements of the Chinese army. In the most dramatic case two years ago, the U.S. Justice Department indicted five PLA officers for alleged economic espionage.

Far less is known about the OPM hackers, and security researchers have differing views about the size of the group and what other attacks it is responsible for.

People close to the OPM investigation said the same group was behind Anthem and other insurance breaches. But they are not yet sure which part of the Chinese government is responsible.

“We are seeing a group that is only targeting personal information,” said Laura Gigante, manager of threat intelligence at FireEye Inc, which has worked on a number of the high-profile network intrusions.

CrowdStrike and other security companies, however, say the Anthem hackers also engaged in stealing defense and industry trade secrets. CrowdStrike calls the group “Deep Panda,” EMC Corp’s RSA security division dubs it “Shell Crew,” and other firms have picked different names.

The OPM breach gave hackers access to U.S. government job applicants’ security clearance forms detailing past drug use, love affairs, and foreign contacts that officials fear could be used for blackmail or recruiting.

In contrast to hacking outfits associated with the Chinese army, “Deep Panda” appears to be affiliated with the Ministry of State Security, said CrowdStrike co-founder Dmitri Alperovitch.

Information about U.S. spies in China would logically be a top priority for the ministry, Alperovitch said, adding that “Deep Panda’s” tools and techniques have also been used to monitor democracy protesters in Hong Kong.

An executive at one of the first companies to connect the Anthem and OPM compromises, ThreatConnect, said the disagreements about the boundaries of “Deep Panda” could reflect a different structure than that in top-down military units.

“We think it’s likely a cohort of Chinese actors, a bunch of mini-groups that are handled by one main benefactor,” said Rich Barger, co-founder of ThreatConnect, adding that the group could get software tools and other resources from a common supplier.

“We think this series of activity over time is a little more distributed, and that is why there is not a broad consensus as to the beginning and end of this group.”

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – RED CHINA VS VIETNAM

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – RED CHINA VS VIETNAM

People of Vietnam fought prolonged battles with French and later United States. In my assessment, Vietnamese people are driven by a sense of nationalism and they never belonged to either Soviet or Red China brand of Communism. Vietnam is getting ready to face the military challenge imposed by Red China’s Expansionist Policy. Special Frontier Force wanted to support United States during Vietnam War and it is not a desire to engage people of Vietnam in a battle. Vietnam War represented an opportunity to engage Red China in a battle and weaken her ability to supply arms and ammunition to North Vietnam across a border they share. As Vietnam prepares to defend against Red China’s aggressive behavior, Special Frontier Force will be willing to join hands with people of Vietnam in a confrontation that will halt Red China’s empire building activity.

Vietnam fishermen ‘attacked by Chinese boats’: state media

A Vietnamese fishing crew said they were attacked by a Chinese vessel using water cannon in disputed waters near the flash point Paracel Islands, Vietnam’s state media reported Monday.

The wooden Vietnamese fishing boat from central Quang Ngai province was near the Paracels — known as Hoang Sa in Vietnamese — on June 7 when it was attacked by a red-and-white painted Chinese vessel, the Lao Dong newspaper said.

“The crew signalled to the (Chinese) boat not to use water cannon as they feared their boat would sink, but they fired the water directly at them,” the report said.
One of the 13-man crew was knocked over and broke his leg during the altercation, the report said, quoting the crew.

A number of Vietnamese state-run newspapers ran photos of the sailor with his leg in plaster.
In a separate incident, on June 10, another Vietnamese fishing boat in the same area was surrounded by four Chinese boats and had their equipment and catch stolen, the Lao Dong newspaper said.

The communist neighbours are locked in a longstanding maritime dispute over islands and fishing rights in the South China Sea.

Last year, tensions came to a head when Beijing moved a deep water oil rig into waters claimed by Hanoi, triggering deadly anti-China riots in Vietnam.
Swept along by nationalist sentiment and forced to venture further out to sea to fill their nets, Vietnam’s commercial fishing fleet have often found themselves on the front lines of the maritime dispute.

Both Vietnam and China claim full sovereignty over the Paracel Islands, which Beijing have controlled since 1974 after seizing them from the then-South Vietnam regime in a brief battle.
China’s claim to almost the entire South China Sea conflicts with those of the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Taiwan.

Vietnam’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
