China's insatiable appetite for resources is fueling territorial disputes in The South China Sea
U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT: China's move to base troops on a disputed island in the South China Sea has raised concerns about a possible military confrontation in an area where China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, Brunei and the Philippines all have competing claims. China's insatiable appetite for world resources is driving much of the current strife. The economic interests could be enormous. Estimates vary wildly, but one Chinese study has put the potential oil reserves in the South China Sea at 213 billion barrels — roughly 80 percent of Saudi Arabia's known reserves. The natural gas reserves in the region are said to be five times those of the U.S. As China's Economic and military power is on the ascension on the world's stage, so is her ambitions. Chinese muscle flexing is going on in multiple territorial and resource disputes with multiple borders and countries. China is becoming a bully to all of her neighbors, while we watch this regional microcosm, we can only expect China to emulate this behavior as she exerts her power on the International world stage.
Over 100 UFOs seen along China/India border
(From the Times of India)
NEW DELHI: The Army troops deployed along the China border from Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh in northeast have reported more than 100 sightings of "Unidentified Flying Objects" (UFOs) in the last three months.
Agencies including the Army, DRDO, NTRO and the ITBP have not yet been able to identify these luminous flying objects.
My Take on this? India and China have disputed borders in this region. Both countries currently hold territory that the other claims as theirs. China and India went to war over these disputed territories in 1962 which China won and at the beginning of this year, the two countries signed an agreement concerning these borders.
China has been flexing it's newfound power throughout the globe recently to claim disputed territories on many fronts. UFO sightings are often the result of military operations and it is likely China is maneuvering to increase it's strength along the borders of these two nuclear powers.
