China's state-run media ramped up condemnation of the United States on Monday over tensions in the South China Sea, with the Communist Party's top newspaper telling Washington to "Shut up" and charging it with "fanning flames" of division in the region.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry's over the weekend condemned a U.S. State Department statement that said Washington was closely monitoring territorial disputes in the South China Sea, and that China's establishment of a military garrison for the area risks "further escalating tensions in the region".
The mosaic of rival territorial claims in the South China Sea has become Asia's worst potential military flashpoint. …

I have to deal all day long with asshole buyers telling me what a good deal they are getting from another company that imports from China. I have started telling them I hope they enjoy their blood money and kiss them off. It hurts to lose the business, but I don’t believe how many of the corporate buyers I have dealt with over the past decade have dropped us already...screw them. I hope the chicoms let all these idiots build factories and shops over there and take them away from them. I’ll stick with american suppliers and sell to American small businesses until I got to do something else.
Here’s hoping you will be still standing strong when—not if—the companies that the buyers work for fall.
... what a good deal they are getting from another company that imports from China.”
Was at dinner with a group of people last week, most of whom I had never met. One guy was complaining about what poor service they are receiving from their Chinese supplier, costs have gone up, quality gone way down. Said he’s been telling his supervisor about it for many weeks but someone higher up won’t let them change and instead wants him to tell U.S. suppliers they would have to beat the “good deals” they were getting from Chinese if they really wanted their business. He’s quitting at the end of this quarter but suspects he’ll be terminated before that because he chooses not to play that game. Not sure there are many more guys in positions like his but at least he seems like he wants to be one of the good guys and supportive of U.S. companies.
And now I'm off to look for Muslim-uprising-interior-China articles to forward to Drudge...
Shut up!
No. YOU Shut up!
Don’t tell me to shut up, YOU Shut The F*** up!
No. YOU Shut the F*** up!
Mama. Johnny won’t Shut up. Make him Shut Up.
Whaaaaa !
yeah. They rammed a fisherman’s boat off the Philippine coast and left the guys to die. They are threatening the Philippines daily, and the US just tells us to settle it ourselves.
The latest is that they put a “city” on an uninhabited island off of Viet Nam.
And they threatened Australia to change sides, so the Aussies just told the US not to base our ships there...(they are going to Singapore instead).
They know Obama is weak, and the leftist sites are actually criticizing the US military for trying to start a war here.
Supposedly some non Han Chinese sailors fished in the area during the Ming dynasty, so all the area is theirs.
Did Barry Soetoro immediately bow to them?
Keep us posted.. your post is the first I have heard of the boat ramming. I definitely did not know about the Aussies. We are running out of allhies with spine. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, hubby told me we cannot go to Australia because they have disarmed their citizens too.

We'll see what happens before the deep cuts have to be taken to save businesses. This is "pre-survival" mode. The past four years were "duck and cover" but now with obamacare being enacted, we are all screwed.
Has Obama apologized yet?
How would determination of the ownership of the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea be worth a fight for the US?
Why should US taxpayers or US military personnel bear any burden to benefit financial interests primarily controlled by the Communist government of Vietnam?
