I describe Red China as the Evil One as there are two aspects of evildoer; a physical, and a spiritual aspect. Evil means wicked, cunning, deceitful, crafty, and it often involves deliberately misleading people using clever lies. To resist Red China’s aggression in South China Sea or West Philippine Sea, nations have to recognize cunning tricks used by Red China to give legitimacy to her own actions. Red China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi claimed on Wednesday that Red China has stopped land reclamation activity and added that the dispute will be resolved through dialogue. This is an example of a thoroughly misleading statement; on one hand Red China keeps her illegal constructions intact giving her military advantage while on the other hand she would not let her regional neighbors use any intervention other than that of dialogue. In other words, Red China – Jackal expects her neighbors to live peacefully tolerating her aggression that disregards their claims.
South China Sea dispute: John Kerry says US will not accept restrictions on movements in the sea

US secretary of state John Kerry has accused China of not allowing freedom of navigation and overflight in the disputed South China Sea, despite giving assurances that such freedoms would not be impeded.
Addressing a regional meeting in Kuala Lumpur that has been dominated by the South China Sea issue, Mr Kerry said China’s construction of facilities for “military purposes” on man-made islands was raising tensions and risked “militarisation” by other claimant states.
“Freedom of navigation and overflight are among the essential pillars of international maritime law,” Mr Kerry told the East Asia Summit attended by foreign ministers from South-East Asia, China, Japan and other nations, including Australia.
“Despite assurances that these freedoms would be respected, we have seen warnings issued and restrictions attempted in recent months.
“Let me be clear: The United States will not accept restrictions on freedom of navigation and overflight, or other lawful uses of the sea.”
China has warned Philippine military aircraft away from the artificial islands in the Spratly archipelago of the South China Sea, Philippine military officials said.
The Chinese navy also issued eight warnings to the crew of a US P8-A Poseidon surveillance aircraft when it conducted overflights in the area in May, according to CNN, which had a reporter on board the US aircraft.
China claims most of the South China Sea, through which $US5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei also have overlapping claims.
The ASEAN group of South-East Asian nations said some members had “serious concerns” about land reclamation in the South China Sea, according to a draft of the final communique seen by Reuters.
The final communique will be issued at the end of their separate talks in Kuala Lumpur this week.
Member states had wrangled hard before finally agreeing on the wording of the communique.
The communique is expected to say that South China Sea matters were extensively discussed.
It will also say that China and ASEAN countries would proceed to the “next stage” of consultations on a code of conduct that is intended to bind them to detailed rules of behaviour at sea.

On Wednesday, Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi said Beijing had halted land reclamation in the South China Sea and that ASEAN and China shared a desire to resolve the thorny issue through dialogue.
Earlier in June, China said it would soon complete some of its reclamation in the Spratly archipelago of the South China Sea, while adding it would continue to build facilities on the man-made islands.
Mr Kerry said he hoped China had stopped island building, but that what was needed was an end to “militarisation”.
He added that Wang’s commitment to resolving the South China Sea issue had not been as “fulsome” as some had hoped.
“In my meeting with … Wang Yi, he indicated I think a different readiness of China to try to resolve some of this, though I think it was still not as fulsome as many of us would like to see,”
Mr Kerry told reporters.
“But it’s a beginning, and it may open up some opportunity for conversation on this in months ahead. We’ll have to wait and see.”
Vietnam, China, Malaysia have eyes on the prize
Explore the conflicting territorial claims in the South China Sea
cell-slides Rich in resources and traversed by a quarter of global shipping, the South China Sea is the stage for several territorial disputes that threaten to escalate tensions in the region.At the heart of these disputes are a series of barren islands in two groups – the Spratly Islands, off the coast of the Philippines, and the Paracel Islands, off the coasts of Vietnam and China. Both chains are essentially uninhabitable, but are claimed by no fewer than seven countries, eager to gain control of the vast oil and gas fields below them, as well as some of the region’s best fishing grounds.Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei have made claims to part of the Spratlys based on the internationally recognised Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which extends 200 hundred nautical miles from a country’s coastline. Based on the EEZ, the Philippines has the strongest claim on the Spratlys and their resources, with its EEZ covering much of the area. However the lure of resources, and prospect of exerting greater control over shipping in the region, means that greater powers are contesting the Philippines’ claims. China has made extensive sovereignty claims on both the Spratlys and the Paracels to the north, based largely on historic claims outlined in a map from the middle part of the 20th Century known as the ‘Nine Dash Map’.Taiwan also makes claims based on the same map, as it was created by the nationalist Kuomintang government, which fled to Taiwan after the communists seized power in China. Vietnam also claims the Spratlys and the Paracels as sovereign territory, extending Vietnam’s EEZ across much of the region and bringing it into direct conflict with China.There have been deadly protests in Vietnam over China’s decision to build an oil rig off the Paracels.One Chinese worker in Vietnam was killed and a dozen injured in riots targeting Chinese and Taiwanese owned factories, prompting 3,000 Chinese nationals to flee the country. EEZ can only be imposed based on boundaries of inhabitable land, and this has prompted all the countries making claims on the region to station personnel, and in some cases build military bases out of the water, to bolster their claim.Building and protecting these structures has resulted in a series of stand-offs between countries in the region, each with the potential to escalate.China has been leading the charge with these installations, and has deployed vessels to the region to protect their interests. Chinese coast guard vessels have used a water cannon on Vietnamese vessels, as well as blockading an island where the Philippines has deployed military personnel.

WHAT IS TIBET’S FUTURE? KALSANT LHAMO LIGHTING BUTTER LAMPS FOR LOSAR CELEBRATION AT TSUGLAGKHANG TEMPLE, DHARAMSALA, INDIA.
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.
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.
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.”

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 – SOUTH CHINA SEA DISPUTE.
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.
It surprises me to note that news media give attention to threats posed to national entities like Taiwan, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Brunei but pay no attention to ‘The Great Problem of Tibet’. To provide some perspective on this issue, I ask my readers to compare the land area of these nations:
THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – RED CHINA – THE GREAT PROBLEM OF TIBET : TIBET HAS LAND AREA OF 870, 000 SQUARE MILES. TIBET IS LARGER IN SIZE COMPARED TO ASIAN NATIONS LIKE JAPAN, TAIWAN, PHILIPPINES, INDONESIA, MALAYSIA, VIETNAM, AND BRUNEI. TIBET IS THREE-TIMES LARGER THAN TEXAS STATE OF UNITED STATES .
Land area of Tibet includes Tibet Autonomous Region(TAR) and Tibetan territory annexed to Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, and Yunnan Provinces of People’s Republic of China. To give a better understanding of the size of Tibet, it may be compared to Texas, largest State in the coterminous United States. Land area of Texas is 268, 820 square miles. Tibet is larger than three States of Texas combined.
Special Frontier Force welcomes attention given to security risks posed by Red China to countries of Asia and those threats cannot be resolved without including solution to ‘The Great Problem of Tibet.’

KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan (Reuters) – Taiwan’s coast guard on Saturday commissioned its biggest ships for duty in the form of two 3,000-ton patrol vessels, as the island boosts defenses amid concerns about China’s growing footprint in the disputed South China Sea.
The new vessels will be able to dock at a new port being constructed on Taiping Island, the largest of the naturally occurring Spratly Islands in the South China Sea, before the end of this year.
Taiwan’s coast guard has had direct oversight of the 46-ha (114-acre) island, also known as Itu Aba, since 2000.
“Taiping Island’s defense capabilities will not be weak,” said Wang Chung-yi, minister of the Coast Guard Administration, referring to recent upgrading done on the 1,200-metre (yards) long airstrip on Taiping and the building of a new port, which he said could be completed as early as October this year.
“As far as Taiping Island is concerned, we still maintain not so much a military as a civil role,” Wang told Reuters in an interview in Taipei. Taiwan will not create conflict, but if it is provoked “we will not concede,” he said.

Unlike the Philippines and Vietnam, Taiwan has largely avoided becoming ensnared in public disputes with China over the South China Sea, through which $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year.
Beijing claims most of the South China Sea, while the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam also have overlapping claims.
Rival claims by Taiwan and China go back to before defeated Nationalists fled to Taiwan after losing a civil war with the Communists in 1949. Beijing sees self-ruled Taiwan as a renegade province to be retaken one day and bans actions that would confer sovereignty, such as negotiating territorial disputes in the South China Sea.
Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou boarded one of the new ships on Saturday, observing rescue drills in waters off the southern Taiwan port city of Kaohsiung. One of the vessels will be sent to the South China Sea, while the other will be assigned to waters north of Taiwan where it has overlapping claims with Japan.
Japan’s Yomiuri newspaper reported on Saturday that Group of Seven leaders meeting in Germany on Sunday would express their concern over any unilateral action to change the status quo in the East and South China Seas.
China has been criticized for extensive reclamation work and moves to turn submerged rocks into man-made structures. The United States last week said Beijing had placed mobile artillery systems in contested territory.

I am sharing this story about dispute between Red China and Philippines as there are no stories written about dispute between Red China and Tibet. There is a territorial dispute between Red China and Tibet which I often refer to as ‘The Great Problem of Tibet’. Red China has a State Policy known as “EXPANSIONISM” and she extends her territory and her influence by using her superior military power over her weak neighbors. Philippines is resisting threat imposed by Red China taking help from other nations like Japan, and the United States. Filipino people have demonstrated their resolve to oppose Red China’s claims in South China Sea. Tibetans have to join this issue and learn the principles of warfare. To fight a stronger opponent, Tibet like Philippines needs partners to give strength to their demands for Justice in Occupied Tibet.
PHILIPPINES AIRS PROGRAM ABOUT SEA DISPUTES WITH CHINA
Philippines airs program about sea disputes with China
By JIM GOMEZ
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The Philippine government broadcast a television program on Friday aimed at boosting public opposition to China’s increasingly assertive moves to press its territorial claims in the disputed South China Sea.
The broadcast of the first episode of a three-part series, titled “Freedom,” on the state-run TV network coincided with the Philippines’ independence day.
The 22-minute video, which was also posted on government websites, focuses on the economic impact of China’s actions, including its 2012 seizure of a disputed shoal where Chinese coast guard ships have chased away Filipino fishermen.
The broadcast reflects increased enmity among claimants in the South China Sea, which Beijing claims virtually in its entirety. The U.S. military has increased surveillance flights over the waters to reassure allies territorially at odds with Beijing.
Rising military deployments in the disputed region have heightened fears of possible confrontations and accidental clashes that could escalate into a major conflict. Also Friday, about 200 left-wing and nationalist protesters staged rallies at the Chinese Consulate and the U.S. Embassy in Manila to condemn Beijing’s actions, including the construction of artificial islands in the disputed Spratly Islands, and oppose what they called U.S. intervention in the dispute.

Protesters carry placards as they march in a Philippines Independence Day rally toward the Chinese Consulate.
Waving red flags and holding placards that read, “U.S.-China, hands off the Philippines,” the protesters called on Filipinos to join efforts to defend the country’s sovereignty and territory. “These two powerful countries are increasingly conniving and challenging each other in their quest for dominance in the Asia-Pacific region,” the protesters said in a statement.
The broadcast features interviews with Filipino fishermen who say they lost a key source of income after China began preventing them from sailing to Scarborough Shoal, which effectively came under Chinese control at the end of a tense standoff with Philippine ships in 2012.
A Philippine diplomat, Henry Bensurto, says in the video that China’s territorial claims include areas where coastal states like the Philippines have exclusive rights to fish and explore for other resources under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
Chinese Embassy officials did not immediately react to the program. Beijing has steadfastly defended its right to pursue island-building and other activities in areas it says have belonged to it since ancient times.
“If we won’t get involved and take action, we may not have anything to bequeath to the next generation,” popular TV personality Lourd de Veyra says in the program. “The problem is we have a neighbor who sneaks in and out of our territory and takes away all the resources. This belongs to us.”

Archenemy is a chief or important enemy. In Biblical literature, the Archenemy is called ‘SATAN’ or ‘THE DEVIL’. The term enemy refers to a nation or force hostile to another, a military adversary. For most people, the word enemy describes an unfriendly person. Red China stole personal information of millions of American citizens and those victims would be offended by that unfriendly act. Red China may have a reason to conduct spying missions or espionage to defend her national interests. But, most Americans whose personal information is stolen, would recognize Red China’s actions as unfriendly. Red China qualifies to the title of “ARCHENEMY” for her unfriendly actions that victimized millions of people in her own territory and in territories she occupied using her military power.

Union: Hackers have personnel data on every federal employee
By KEN DILANIAN
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hackers stole personnel data and Social Security numbers for every federal employee, a government worker union said Thursday, saying that the cyber theft of U.S. employee information was more damaging than the Obama administration has acknowledged.
Sen. Harry Reid, the Democratic leader, said on the Senate floor that the December hack into Office of Personnel Management data was carried out by “the Chinese” without specifying whether he meant the Chinese government or individuals. Reid is one of eight lawmakers briefed on the most secret intelligence information. U.S. officials have declined to publicly blame China, which has denied involvement.
J. David Cox, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said in a letter to OPM director Katherine Archuleta that based on OPM’s internal briefings, “We believe that the Central Personnel Data File was the targeted database, and that the hackers are now in possession of all personnel data for every federal employee, every federal retiree, and up to one million former federal employees.”
The OPM data file contains the records of non-military, non-intelligence executive branch employees, which covers most federal civilian employees but not, for example, members of Congress and their staffs.
The union believes the hackers stole military records and veterans’ status information, address, birth date, job and pay history, health insurance, life insurance and pension information; and age, gender and race data, he said. The letter was obtained by The Associated Press.
The union said it is basing its assessment on internal OPM briefings. The agency has sought to downplay the damage, saying what was taken “could include” personnel file information such as Social Security numbers and birth dates.
“We believe that Social Security numbers were not encrypted, a cybersecurity failure that is absolutely indefensible and outrageous,” Cox said in the letter. The union called the breach “an abysmal failure on the part of the agency to guard data that has been entrusted to it by the federal workforce.”
Samuel Schumach, an OPM spokesman, said that “for security reasons, we will not discuss specifics of the information that might have been compromised.” The central personnel data file contains up to 780 separate pieces of information about an employee.
Cox complained in the letter that “very little substantive information has been shared with us, despite the fact that we represent more than 670,000 federal employees in departments and agencies throughout the executive branch.”
The union’s release and Reid’s comment in the Senate put into sharper focus what is looking like a massive cyber espionage success by China. Sen. Susan Collins, an intelligence committee member, has also said the hack came from China.

Mike Rogers, the former chairman of the House intelligence committee, said last week that Chinese intelligence agencies have for some time been seeking to assemble a database of information about Americans. Those personal details can be used for blackmail, or also to shape bogus emails designed to appear legitimate while injecting spyware on the networks of government agencies or businesses Chinese hackers are trying to penetrate.
U.S. intelligence officials say China, like the U.S., spies for national security advantage. Unlike the U.S., they say, China also engages in large-scale theft of corporate secrets for the benefit of state-sponsored enterprises that compete with Western companies. Nearly every major U.S. company has been hacked from China, they say.
The Office of Personnel Management is also a repository for extremely sensitive information assembled through background investigations of employees and contractors who hold security clearances. OPM’s Schumach has said there is “no evidence” that information was taken. But there is growing skepticism among intelligence agency employees and contractors about that claim.
In the Senate on Thursday, Democrats blocked a Republican effort to add a cybersecurity bill to a sweeping defense measure. The vote was 56-40, four votes short of the number necessary.
Democrats had warned of the dangers of cyberspying after the theft of government personnel files, but Democrats voted against moving ahead on the legislation, frustrated with the GOP-led effort to tie the two bills together. President Barack Obama has threatened to veto the defense legislation over budget changes by the GOP.
“The issue of cybersecurity is simply too important to be used as a political chit and tucked away in separate legislation.” said Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del.

Liar refers to a person who tells lies. Red China, a national entity has chosen a State Policy to conduct her affairs telling lies. The term ‘LIE’ describes a statement that one knows is false, and is especially made with intent to deceive. Red China is an habitual liar for she makes such false statements deliberately with intent to deceive her gullible neighbors. Tibet agreed to sign Seventeen Point or 17-Article Agreement for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet on May 23, 1951 fully trusting lies, false assurances, and fraudulent promises given by Red China. Similarly, Republic of India agreed to sign ‘Panchsheel Agreement’ in 1954, fully trusting lies mouthed by Red China. The act of deception means to bring, put, or accomplish something by lying. Red China has mastered The Art of Deception and she makes statements that have characteristics such as 1. Prevaricate: to quibble or confuse the issue in order to evade the truth, 2. Equivocate: implies the deliberate use of ambiguity in order to deceive or mislead, 3. Fabricate: suggests invention of a false story, excuse, etc., intended to deceive, 4. Subterfuge: suggests an artifice or stratagem used to deceive others and to evade something, or gain some personal benefit at cost of another person or entity, and 5. Trickery: implies the use of tricks or ruses in deceiving others.
For Red China is a born Liar, she uses ‘DECEPTION’ as her State Policy and she dishonestly deprives others of their property, rights, freedom, etc.,
PENTAGON CHIEF URGES CHINA TO STOP ISLAND BUILDING
.

Washington (AFP) – US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter called Thursday on Beijing to stop building artificial islands in the disputed waters of the South China Sea, as he hosted a top Chinese general.
The visit to the Pentagon of General Fan Changlong, vice chairman of China’s Central Military Commission, was relatively low-key amid simmering tensions over the maritime dispute and a massive hack of US federal employees.
China insists it has sovereignty over nearly all of the South China Sea, a major global shipping route believed to be home to oil and gas reserves, but rival claimants accuse it of expansionism.
“Carter reiterated US concerns on the South China Sea and called on China and all claimants to implement a lasting halt on land reclamation, cease further militarization and pursue a peaceful resolution of territorial disputes in accordance with international law,” the Pentagon said in a statement.
Carter had previously accused China of being out of step with international rules in its conduct in the South China Sea. Unlike previous trips, including one last year, there was no joint press conference.
“The Chinese did request that there not be a lot of media attention around this trip,” Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steven Warren said. Also raising tensions is this month’s revelation by the US government that hackers accessed the personal data of at least four million current and former federal employees.
The vast cyberattack is suspected to have originated in China, though Beijing has said the charge was “irresponsible” and stressed that Chinese laws prohibit cybercrimes. Prior to visiting Washington, Fan went to California and Texas.
His trip is part of a years-long effort to build a regular dialogue between the American and Chinese armed forces to defuse potential tensions and avoid miscalculations. Carter’s predecessor, Chuck Hagel, visited China in 2014 in a trip that was marked by friction, with each side trading sharply worded criticism.

red china pentagon meeting june112015
THE EVIL RED EMPIRE – RED CHINA – LIAR : GENERAL FAN CHANGLONG, VICE-CHAIRMAN CENTRAL MILITARY COMMISSION, BEIJING VISITED PENTAGON ON JUNE 11, 2015.
The word ‘pollute’ means to make unclean, impure, corrupt, defile, contaminate, dirty by releasing harmful ideas, wicked practices, immoral and unethical conduct apart from the usual meaning of a harmful chemical or waste material recklessly discharged into water, land, and air. Red China is guilty of both kinds of pollution and hence I acknowledge Red China as a “POLLUTER.”
My concern is not about Karl Marx’s philosophy called ‘Dialectical Materialism’. My concern is about Red China’s immoral conduct and behavior. My concern is about Red China’s use of Intimidation, Infiltration, and Internal Subversion to inject her Communist Doctrine into Land of Tibet which she had illegally occupied since 1950s using her superior military power. Red China constantly intimidates Tibetan people to make them afraid, to make them timid, and to force them or deter them with threats and use of brutal violence. Red China uses the policy of Intimidation to completely undermine ability of Tibetans to resist military occupation. The policy of Intimidation is not working and Tibetans responded with patience and perseverance to resist Red China’s military occupation.
Red China, A Jackal, knows several tricks or ruses to conquer her opponents. Red China is using a strategy called ‘Infiltration’ to subjugate Tibetan people. Infiltration involves penetrating a group or a region gradually or stealthily so as to attack or to seize control from within. In military strategy, Infiltration describes passing through weak places in the defense lines in order to attack defender’s flanks or rear. Red China used a frontal attack and had overcome opposition to her military power when she occupied Tibet in 1950. However, Red China failed to exercise control or influence the minds of Tibetan people. Tibetan National Identity and Tibetan National Character is resisting corrupting influences introduced by Foreign Conqueror. Tibet is displaying strength, and resilience in refusing to embrace evil, wicked, depraved, dishonest dealings and behavior of Communists. The word ‘CORRUPTION’ means a change from sound condition to an unsound condition. The effect or consequence of Corruption is described as rotten, spoiled, contaminated, deteriorated, debased, perverted, venal, or depraved condition as compared to normal standards and perceptions of morality and ethical behavior.
Red China is a Seven-headed Scarlet Beast and in her passionate desire to possess Tibet; to dominate, to control, and to influence Tibetan people Red China is using a Communist tactic called “Internal Subversion.” Subversion is a mechanism used to ruin, destroy, or overthrow an established government, institution, belief, etc., using the tool called Corruption. Red China is using Subversion as a means to undermine or corrupt established social, cultural, religious, political, and belief ‘Systems’ of Tibet to overthrow, destroy, and ruin Tibetan National Identity, Tibetan National Character that continues to resist Red China’s Communist Doctrine and Ideology.
The controversy about Tibetan Panchen Lama is evidence of Red China’s wicked practice called ‘Internal Subversion’.
China’s Panchen Lama promises Xi he will uphold national unity
Gyaltsen Norbu (R), the 11th Panchen Lama, speaks with a delegate ahead of the opening of the third plenary …
BEIJING (Reuters) – A youth named by China as the second-highest figure in Tibetan Buddhism, but reviled as a fake by many Tibetans, on Wednesday told President Xi Jinping he backed national unity and would strive to meet the Communist Party’s expectations.
Although officially atheist, China selected Gyaltsen Norbu as the 11th Panchen Lama in 1995, in a drive to win the hearts and minds of Tibetans.
Tibet’s current spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, had announced his own choice of a six-year-old boy, but he was taken away by authorities and has since vanished from public view.
This year marks not only the 20th anniversary of the boy’s disappearance, but also the 80th birthday of the Dalai Lama, who has lived in exile in India since fleeing Tibet in 1959 following an abortive uprising against Chinese rule.
It is also the 50th anniversary of the founding of what China calls the Tibet Autonomous Region.
At a meeting in the party’s Zhongnanhai leadership compound in central Beijing, China’s Panchen Lama told Xi he would “resolutely uphold the unity of the motherland and its people”, state television said in its main evening news bulletin.
He would “not fail to live up to the ardent expectations of the party and people”, the report added.
Xi said the party paid great attention to events in Tibet, and would send a delegation to mark 50 years of the founding of the autonomous region.
“Tomorrow will be even better for all the people of Tibet,” Xi said, adding that he hoped China’s Panchen Lama would promote patriotism and uphold national unity.
China has gradually exposed its Panchen Lama in public roles in the hope he will achieve the respect commanded by the Dalai Lama among Tibetans and globally, and in 2012 he made his first trip outside mainland China when he visited Hong Kong.
Chinese troops marched into Tibet in 1950. After the Dalai Lama fled, the 10th Panchen Lama stayed on and was initially seen as a collaborator, but it later emerged that his criticism of Beijing had earned him more than a decade spent either in prison or under house arrest.
Freed in 1977, he was politically rehabilitated the following year, and died in 1989.
Activists say China has violently tried to stamp out religious freedom and culture in Tibet, which remains under heavy security. China rejects the criticism, saying its rule has ended serfdom and brought development to a backward region.

The word “SUBJUGATE” means to bring under control, or subjection, conquer, to cause to become subservient, subdue, and to bring under yoke. Subjugation is the exact opposite of ‘Liberation’, or ‘Emancipation’. Subjugation is associated with tyranny, oppressive and unjust government, very cruel and unjust use of power or authority. Subjugation is the symptom of loss of Freedom. Red China with her military conquest of Tibet in 1950 imposed her authority with harshness, rigor, severity and uses her power in arbitrary manner using coercion. Red China is a Tyrant, one who seizes sovereignty of another nation illegally, Usurper, and a Subjugator of Tibet.
Red China – Subjugator of Tibet. The 17-point Plan signed on May 23, 1951 represents a plan for Subjugation of Tibet and not of Peaceful Liberation of Tibet.
Very often, Red China makes reference to Seventeen-Point Agreement, or 17-Point Plan, or 17-Article Agreement between the Central People’s Government and the Local Government of Tibet on Measures for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet. Five Tibetan delegates headed by Ngapoi Ngawang Jigmei and Representatives of the Central People’s Government met in Peking(Beijing) and signed an Agreement on May 23, 1951 in presence of Red China’s Vice President Zhu De, Vice President Li Jishena, and Vice-Premier Chen Yi. This 17-Point Plan promised that there should be no coercion on the part of the Central Government of China in implementing any of its measures. During the following years, 1951-1956, Tibet recognized Red China’s true ‘evil’ intentions to subject Tibetan people to her military occupation. Both Tibet, and Republic of India conducted a series of diplomatic negotiations with Red China to loosen her military grip over Tibet. By 1957, it became very apparent that Red China is using her authority to eliminate any opposition to her direct rule. Red China has taken measures to control every aspect of Tibetan Nation giving no chance or opportunity to Tibetan people to live their lives with a natural right to freedom, an independent way of living that Tibet enjoyed during centuries of foreign rule by Mongols, and Manchu China’s Qing Dynasty(1644-1911). Seventeen-Point Agreement of 1951 is a phony agreement with lies, empty assurances and it is evidence of Red China’s treachery, cunningness, craftiness, and wickedness for which I name Red China a ‘Jackal’.
Red China – Subjugator of Tibet. The military conquest of Tibet.
At Special Frontier Force, I recognized that Red China has violated 17-Article Agreement signed on May 23, 1951. The history of Tibetan Resistance Movement that formulated the finding of Special Frontier Force bears testimony to the fact of Tibet’s subjugation under a tyrannical rule imposed by Red China.
Top Chinese officer pays visit to US: Pentagon

Washington (AFP) – A top Chinese military officer began a six-day visit to the United States on Monday amid rising tensions over Beijing’s assertive stance in the South China Sea.
General Fan Changlong, vice-chairman of China’s Central Military Commission, started his tour in San Diego with a stop at the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier and will hold talks on Thursday at the Pentagon with US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, officials said.
Carter and other top US officials have recently castigated China over its push to build artificial islands in the disputed waters of the South China Sea. At a recent security conference in Singapore, Carter called for an immediate end to land reclamation by countries in the region, and accused China of being out of step with international rules.
“Turning an underwater rock into an airfield simply does not afford the rights of sovereignty or permit restrictions on international air or maritime transit,” the Pentagon chief said at the International Institute for Strategic Studies conference.
President Barack Obama earlier this month also warned Beijing over its tactics, saying territorial disputes could not be solved by “throwing elbows.” Before heading to Washington, Fan was due to visit a Boeing factory in Seattle and a US Army base at Fort Hood in Texas.
Fan is considered a counterpart to Carter, US officials said.
The general’s visit is part of a years-long effort to build a regular dialogue between the American and Chinese armed forces to defuse potential tensions and avoid miscalculations. Carter’s predecessor, Chuck Hagel, paid a visit to China in 2014 in a trip that was marked by friction, with each side trading sharply worded criticism.
