To be a friend of the current American government is dangerous.

To be an enemy is a delight!

The farms can’t keep up with the demand so the seas are being increasingly relied upon to feed China’s city dwellers.

Unlikely.

A great deal of food in our grocery stores is imported from China, which would not seem to be the case if their farms couldn't feed their own people.

Knowing that Osama has received,and will continue to receive,serious campaign $$$ from Communist China he will do everything he can (most likely behind the scenes) to insure that China prevails.

China is pushing its claims to as much territory as it can now, while we have a spineless wimp in the White House, because they suspect that he will be replaced with a much tougher person in January.

They figure this one will be easy. The Philippines does not have the naval forces to resist Chinese incursions and they know Obama will do absolutely nothing except squawk a bit.

The Chinese import about 20% of their grain.

China could probably feed itself but it would require the middle class to eat meat at 1970’s levels not current levels.

The Filipinos are US Allies?

Maybe the Filipinos should not have kicked the US Navy out of Subic Bay. The Chi-Coms would not feel so confident.

Did the Filipinos kick us out of Subic Bay, or did we abandon it after a volcanic (Mt. Pinatubo?) eruption?

Let's see. Sell their food to a Chinese making $2/day for $.25 or sell it to Americans for $5 for the same cost to them to produce? C'mon, you've got to be joshing, right?

This could all be about the oil.
Japan wanted Indonesian oil back in the ‘30’s.
The food issue is nonsense. The Chi Coms don’t care if their people die. The Oligarchs need the oil to make mo’ mu-neee.

What will Obama do? ZIP
What can he do? China owns us—we get mean, they cancel our loans and we sink. We are owned.

Obama is right now engaged in a series of tense diplomatic negotiations designed to diffuse tensions and...

offer any help that he can to the Chinese.

“Did the Filipinos kick us out of Subic Bay, or did we abandon it after a volcanic (Mt. Pinatubo?) eruption?”

Not exactly. The Filipinos kept raising the rent on our Subic Bay and Clark AFB leases. The U.S. balked at the extortion. Then, in an act of colossal stupidity, their Senate voted to kick the Americans out and not renew the leases.

During negotiations, Mt. Pinatubo blew its top and buried Clark AFB under 15 feet of volcanic ash. When the U.S. got access to the site, they found that the locals had stripped the base of anything useful. It would have been astronomical to rebuild Clark AFB, and everything became moot with the Filipino Senate's vote. This vote cost 80,000 Filipinos very well paying jobs working for the U.S. government, but it was too late. The U.S. packed up and moved to Singapore.
