Mao Zedong proclaims the founding of the People's Republic of China in Beijing on Oct. 1, 1949. — Mao Zedong proclaims the founding of the People’s Republic of China in Beijing on Oct. 1, 1949.

The term “The Evil Red Empire” describes the national entity founded by Communist leader Mao Zedong on October 01, 1949. To build an Empire, Mao Zedong formulated a Policy of Expansionism in late 1940s.

Airspace is the space extending up above an area of the earth’s surface; specifically, airspace refers to the space above a nation over which it can claim jurisdiction. Red China’s maritime expansionism in South China Sea poses a security threat as it involves the rights to use the airspace by other countries. With its land reclamation activities, Red China has expanded its claims to Land, Sea, and Airspace and is further willing to control that airspace by establishing its own Air Defence Identification Zone.

United States Navy and Air Force have no option other than that of challenging Red China’s illegal claim to sovereignty using land reclamation and building activity without any approval from its neighbors who have legitimate claims in that region.

U.S., CHINA SET FOR HIGH-STAKES RIVALRY IN SKIES ABOVE SOUTH CHINA SEA

HONG KONG (Reuters) – When the U.S. navy sent a littoral combat ship on its first patrol of the disputed Spratly islands in the South China Sea during the past week, it was watching the skies as well.

The USS Fort Worth, one of the most modern ships in the U.S. navy, dispatched a reconnaissance drone and a Seahawk helicopter to patrol the airspace, according to a little-noticed statement on the navy’s website.

While the navy didn’t mention China’s rapid land reclamation in the Spratlys, the ship’s actions were a demonstration of U.S. capabilities in the event Beijing declares an Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the area – a move experts and some U.S. military officials see as increasingly likely.

“It’s not inevitable but if we are betting paychecks I’ll bet that they will eventually declare one, I just don’t know when,” said a senior U.S. commander familiar with the situation in Asia.
ADIZs are not governed by formal treaties or laws but are used by some nations to extend control beyond national borders, requiring civilian and military aircraft to identify themselves or face possible military interception.

China sparked condemnation from the United States and Japan when it imposed an ADIZ in the East China Sea, above uninhabited islands disputed with Tokyo, in late 2013.

Chinese military facilities now under construction on Fiery Cross Reef in the Spratlys, including a 3,000-metre (10,000-foot) runway and airborne early warning radars, could be operational by the year-end, said the U.S. commander, who declined to be identified.

Recent satellite images also show reclamation work on Subi Reef creating landmasses that, if joined together, could make space for a similar sized airstrip.
Growing concern in Washington that China might impose air and sea restrictions in the Spratlys once it completes work on its seven artificial islands is likely to be on the agenda when U.S.

Secretary of State John Kerry meets Chinese leaders in Beijing this weekend for previously scheduled talks.

TOUGH TO ENFORCE

Asia’s rising power claims sovereignty over most of the South China Sea, through which $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei also have overlapping claims.

China has said it had every right to set up an ADIZ but that current conditions in the South China Sea did not warrant one.

Enforcing such an ADIZ would be difficult even with two airstrips capable of handling fighter planes in the Spratlys, as well as an expanded airstrip on Woody island in the disputed Paracel island chain further north because of the distances involved, regional military officials and experts said.

The Spratlys for example lie more than 1,100 km (680 miles) from the Chinese mainland, putting China’s well-equipped airbases along its coastline well out of reach.
“Even with the new reclamations, it is going to be a stretch for China to routinely enforce such a zone that far south,” said Richard Bitzinger, a regional security analyst at Singapore’s S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies.

The Japanese and U.S. military ignore the ADIZ above the East China Sea, as does Japan’s two major carriers, ANA Holdings <9202.T> and Japan Airlines <9201.T>.

A study produced by the independent U.S. Congressional Research Service earlier this year noted that while China’s air force actively monitors that zone with ground radar from its coastline, it had generally shown restraint in enforcement.
China’s planes were unlikely to maintain a constant presence over the East China Sea, the study noted, citing a U.S. air force assessment.

RISK OF ESCALATION

The South China Sea might prove more problematic for China given the complexity of the dispute and the possibility of challenges from the U.S. navy and air force.

Indeed, on Tuesday, a U.S. official said the Pentagon was considering sending military aircraft and ships to assert freedom of navigation around the Chinese-made islands.
China’s Foreign Ministry responded by saying Beijing was “extremely concerned” and demanded clarification.

On Friday it accused the Philippines of working together with the United States to “exaggerate the China threat” over the Spratlys.
China had recently warned Philippine air force and navy planes at least six times to leave the Spratlys, the Philippine military commander responsible for the region said last week. The planes refused.

Zhang Baohui, a mainland security expert at Hong Kong’s Lingnan University, said he was worried about the risk of confrontation from any U.S. show of force.
“It’s reckless,” he said, referring to Washington’s latest plans.

“It has a built-in dynamic for unintended escalation,” he added. “Are they willing to take the consequences of this escalation?”
At sea, tensions are already apparent.

The naval statement about the USS Fort Worth, which can also hunt submarines and support amphibious landings, noted the ship “encountered multiple People’s Liberation Army-Navy warships” during its patrol. It did not go into detail.
“Our interactions with Chinese ships continue to be professional and (the Code for Unplanned Encounters at Sea) helps clarify intentions and prevent miscommunication,” Commander

Matt Kawas, the Fort Worth’s commanding officer, said in the statement.

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – MILITARY EXPANSIONISM

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – MILITARY EXPANSIONISM:

Red China’s land reclamation activities in South China Sea are mere symptoms of a serious disease called Military Expansionism. Red China is projecting its military power by acting against the interests of its neighbors for she thinks there is no one besides her. In Red China’s estimate, all other nations will submit to her superior military power or at a minimum avoid a direct military conflict to change her behavior. The word ‘APOCALYPSE’ means unveiling or revelation, it refers to a revelation depicting symbolically the ultimate destruction of Evil and triumph of Good. The word ‘DOOM’ refers to what is laid down, decree, judgment, a sentence of condemnation, destiny, tragic fate, ruin, to ordain as a penalty. Doomsayer is a person disposed to predicting catastrophe or disaster. As Doomsayer of Doom Dooma, I am predicting the downfall of The Evil Red Empire without the need for fighting against its military power.

“Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her
death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,
for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.” (REVELATION 18:4)

I am not surprised to read REUTERS news story published by David Brunnstrom that the US Secretary of State John Kerry would take tough approach in China over South China Sea during his visit to Beijing on Saturday, May 16, 2015.

U.S. Kerry to take tough approach in China over South China Sea

Chinese President Xi Jinping (L) speaks with U.S. State Secretary John Kerry (R), through a translator, …

By David Brunnstrom

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will leave China “in absolutely no doubt” about Washington’s commitment to ensuring freedom of navigation and flight in the South China Sea when he visits Beijing this weekend, a senior State Department official said on Wednesday.

Setting the scene for what could be contentious encounters with Chinese leaders, including President Xi Jinping, the official said Kerry would warn that China’s land reclamation work in contested waters could have negative consequences for regional stability – and for relations with the United States.

On Tuesday, a U.S. official said the Pentagon was considering sending military aircraft and ships to assert freedom of navigation around rapidly growing Chinese-made artificial islands in the disputed South China Sea.

China’s Foreign Ministry responded by saying that Beijing was “extremely concerned” and demanded clarification.

U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense David Shear told a Senate hearing the United States had right of passage in areas claimed by China. “We are actively assessing the military implications of land reclamation and are committed to taking effective and appropriate action,” he said, but gave no details.

Cui Tiankai, China’s ambassador to the United States, responded by warning Washington not to interfere in the South China Sea dispute and rebuked it for “double standards” in its criticism of Beijing, state news agency Xinhua said on Thursday.

“Just who is creating tensions in the South China Sea?” Cui was quoted as saying. “In the past few years, the United States has intervened in such a high-profile way. Is that to stabilize the situation or to further mess it up? The facts are out there.”

Cui, in an interview with Chinese media in the United States on Wednesday, noted that some countries had already begun reclaiming land on reefs that Beijing says belong to China, but the United States had not singled them out.

On the Pentagon’s plan to send military aircraft and ships to the South China Sea, Cui “stressed that many things in the world cannot rely on a show of force to solve them and that the knee-jerk ‘Cold War’ mentality to use force is outdated”.

The senior State Department official said “the question about what the U.S Navy does or doesn’t do is one that the Chinese are free to pose” to Kerry in Beijing, where he is due on Saturday for meetings with civilian and military leaders.

Kerry’s trip is intended to prepare for the annual U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue next month in Washington and Xi’s expected visit to Washington in September. But growing strategic rivalry rather than cooperation look set to dominate.

China’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said that freedom of navigation did not mean that foreign military ships and aircraft can enter another country’s territorial waters or airspace at will.

“YOU CAN’T BUILD SOVEREIGNTY”

The State Department official dismissed the idea that constructing islands out of half-submerged reefs gave China any right to territorial claims.
“Ultimately no matter how much sand China piles on top of a submerged reef or shoal … it is not enhancing its territorial claim. You can’t build sovereignty,” he said.

He said Kerry would “reinforce … the very negative consequences to China’s image and China’s relationship with its neighbors on regional stability and potentially on the U.S.- China relationship from their large-scale reclamation efforts and the behavior generally in the South China Sea.”

Beijing claims sovereignty over most of the South China Sea, through which $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei have overlapping claims.

Last month, the U.S. military commander for Asia, Admiral Samuel Locklear, said China could eventually deploy radar and missile systems on the islands it is building in the Spratly archipelago that could be used to enforce an exclusion zone should it move to declare one.

The U.S. official who spoke on Tuesday said U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter had requested options that include sending aircraft and ships within 12 nautical miles (22 km) of the reefs China has been building up.

U.S. President Barack Obama announced a strategic shift toward Asia in 2011 in response to growing Chinese power and influence, but critics have questioned his commitment to this “rebalance” given U.S. security distractions elsewhere in the world and stretched resources.

News of the possibly tougher U.S. stance came as the key economic pillar of the rebalance suffered a blow at the hands of Obama’s Democrats in the U.S. Senate, who blocked debate on a bill that would have smoothed the path for a 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal.

Failure to clinch an agreement could damage Washington’s leadership image in Asia, where China has been forging ahead with a new Beijing-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) seen as a challenge to U.S. global financial leadership.

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – MARITIME EXPANSIONISM

THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – MARITIME EXPANSIONISM:

The Evil Red Empire proclaimed by Mao Zedong or Mao Tse-Tung on October 01, 1949 began its existence with ambitious plans to extend its power and influence in all directions. Red China claims that it had released its ‘Nine-Segment Map to demarcate its maritime boundaries.

the evil red empire THE RED DRAGON'S EXPANSIONISM . — the evil red empire THE RED DRAGON’S EXPANSIONISM .

RED CHINA - EXPANSIONISM - SOUTH CHINA SEA . — RED CHINA – EXPANSIONISM – SOUTH CHINA SEA .

Red China’s regional neighbors are left with no choice for they are no match to the Red Dragon’s military power. Red China wants to affix its seal of authority and decide its maritime boundaries as if there is no one besides her. While the United States considers its military options to the security threats posed by Red China, I predict the downfall of The Evil Empire using the prophecy revealed by Prophet Isaiah in The Old Testament Book of Isaiah, Chapter 47, verses # 7 to 15:

the evil red empire the fall of evil empire the prophet isaiah — the evil red empire the fall of evil empire Prediction by Prophet Isaiah

Please note that Babylon is a byword for Evil and the symbolism of “Babylon The Great” is applicable to The Evil Red Empire, The Red Dragon, The Expansionist, Red China.

“You said, ‘I will continue forever
the eternal queen!’
But you did not consider these things
or reflect on what might happen.”

“Now then, listen, you wanton creature,
lounging in your security
and saying to yourself,
‘I am and there is none besides me.
I will never be a widow
or suffer the loss of children.’

Both of these will overtake you
in a moment, on a single day:
loss of children and widowhood.
They will come upon you in full measure,
in spite of your many sorceries
and all your potent spells.

You have trusted in your wickedness
and have said, ‘No one sees me.’
Your wisdom and knowledge mislead you
When you say to yourself,
‘I am, and there is none besides me.’

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.

Keep on, then, with your magic spells
and with your many sorceries,
which you have labored at since childhood.
Perhaps you will succeed,
perhaps you will cause terror.

All the counsel you have received has only
worn you out !
Let your astrologers come forward,
those stargazers who make predictions month
by month,
let them save you from what is coming upon you.

Surely they are like stubble;
the fire will burn them up.
They cannot even save themselves
from the power of the flame.
Here are no coals to warm anyone;
here is no fire to sit by.

That is all they can do for you-
these you have labored with
and trafficked with since childhood.
Each of them goes on in his error;
there is not one that can save you.”

Doomsayer of Doom Dooma predicts, Beijing Is Doomed, and there is no one that can save Beijing for its time of reckoning has arrived.

US anxious over China’s ‘great wall of sand’

By Dan De Luce 2 hours ago

Washington (AFP) – The United States is weighing sending warships and surveillance aircraft near artificial islands built by China to challenge Beijing’s territorial claims in the South China Sea, officials said.

But the US officials acknowledge Beijing’s massive land reclamation effort, dubbed by an American naval commander as China’s “great wall of sand,” may be difficult to stop.
The Pentagon is weighing a range of options, including sailing destroyers or other naval ships within 12 nautical miles of the man-made islands, as well as flying P-3 and P-8 surveillance planes overhead, two defense officials told AFP on Wednesday.

The maritime and air patrols would be designed “to demonstrate support for freedom of navigation” and “to reassure our allies,” said one official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
“We have never recognized these artificial islands as legitimate claims,” the official said.

US officials increasingly believe Washington needs to send a clear signal about China’s dredging activities around the Spratly Islands and other disputed territories, though they want to calibrate any military operation to avoid triggering a crisis.

Officials admitted China has been building at a rapid pace in recent years and that concerns expressed by the United States and regional governments so far have had little effect.
Pentagon officials last week revealed that China is building artificial islands on top of coral reefs at an unprecedented pace. The rapid construction comes to 2,000 acres (800 hectares), with 75 percent of the total just in the last five months.

At four reclamation sites, China has moved from dredging to infrastructure work that could include harbors for larger ships, communications systems and at least one airfield, a Defense Department report said.

“We are actively assessing the military implication of land reclamation and are committed to taking effective and appropriate action,” David Shear, assistant secretary of defense for Asian and Pacific security affairs, told senators Wednesday.

Building on submerged features did not qualify as a recognized territorial claim, he said.
“It is difficult to see how Chinese behavior in particular comports with international law,” he said.

NO CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR:

Washington is concerned China’s increasingly assertive stance could undermine the sovereignty of neighboring nations and undercut America’s naval power in the Pacific.
To try to check Beijing’s expansion in the South China Sea, the United States has backed diplomatic efforts by regional governments to defuse rival territorial claims and bolstered its military profile.

Washington has started deploying Littoral Combat Ships to Singapore, increased port calls in and around the South China Sea, stepped up reconnaissance flights and tried to bolster coast guard forces in the area.

But lawmakers told Pentagon and State Department officials that the United States needed a tougher policy and that so far China has shrugged off Washington’s objections.
“I don’t see their behavior changing, It seems to me that in a very short amount of time, they are going to have de facto control of the South China Sea,” said Senator Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Officials told senators that China has had to back off at times when faced with concerted diplomatic pressure and resistance from neighboring countries.
China was forced to withdraw a giant oil rig last year in disputed waters off of Vietnam’s coast, said David Russel, assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs.

Beijing pulled back the rig after the move prompted repeated clashes at sea between Chinese vessels deployed to guard it and Vietnamese boats.
China on Wednesday denounced any expansion in the US military’s presence in the area.

“Freedom of navigation does not mean that the military vessels or aircraft of a foreign country can willfully enter the territorial waters or airspace of another country,” Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in Beijing.

China claims nearly all of the South China Sea, even waters approaching the coasts of its Asian neighbors.
The disputed waters are home to vital global shipping lanes and are believed to be rich in oil and gas.

Washington has flexed its military muscle previously to try to counter what it considers Beijing’s aggressive moves.

Last November, two long-range B-52 bombers flew over China’s newly declared Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the East China Sea.

China’s dredging work could ultimately hamper America’s ability to project its military power and heighten the risk of a dangerous miscalculation, said Alexander Sullivan of the Center for a New American Security, a Washington think tank.

“Politically, Chinese control over the South China Sea would strike a major blow to perceptions of US power in Asia, the world’s most consequential region,” Sullivan said.
