United States intelligence agencies recently detected China’s military shifting road-mobile ballistic missiles closer to its southern coast near the disputed Senkaku Islands amid growing tensions between Beijing and Japan over the islands dispute.
U.S. defense officials said the movements are being watched closely as China’s military is also holding large-scale military exercises that some fear could be a trigger for a conflict with Japan that could involve U.S. forces.
The officials did not provide details of the missile movements that were tracked by U.S. aircraft, ship-based, and satellite surveillance systems in the region.

No surprise here. The Assclown has, as a goal, to decimate our military so that we cannot fight a two-theatre war.
So while Asia blows up, so will the Middle East. Iran has operatives in Venezuela.
John Kerry is failing on the Falkland Islands/Argentina/Great Britain front, and he is fumbling on Syria.
Get ready for the moron’s chickens to come home to roost.
Can you say $8 a gallon gas?
We could squeeze their nuts fairly easily to put a stop to this...
So the US DOD is getting their pens out and paper ready just in case they have to put together a strongly worded letter.
We are shrinking the military and getting rid of the draft at a very volatile time in the world. The next time mass American forces are needed, the DOD will be calling the DNR for help.
Japan, Taiwan, S. Korea and Isreal on on their own.
Yep, the arch-imbecile Obama is just the character to lead America in the event of a World War.
Not.
With that *ss-clown at the helm, America can plan on Chinese landing craft putting troops ashore in Redondo Beach.
Yea? Explain that. What leverage do we have over China? Are going to threaten not to make good on our debt? Tariffs? Do you think Obama is going to troll some additional Nimitz class bayonets around Japan?
None of the above.
Ordinary people can make buying choices.
When goods from the PRC begin to back up at Wal Mart (may already be happening) and elsewhere, then the vise has begun to work.
There's nothing ON the Senkakus, and thus nothing to target there.
you left out another part...
India and pakistan just may start throwing nukes around..
The whole world is preparing for war. This must have been what the 1930’s felt like to my parents and grandparents.
“There’s nothing ON the Senkakus, and thus nothing to target there.”
Think outside the box, or in this case, in the water off the islands, and what would be there if the dispute gets really hot and bothered.
Yes we could squeeze Communist China economically if they continue their belligerence.....but many of the same people who are talking tough now will start whining if you increased tariffs on the Communist Chinese ...the US main weapon to neutralize the Commie Chinese.
Supporters of Free Trade with Communist China provide aid and cover for the ChiComs....and they also provide cover for Obama if he backs down to the ChiComs
The whole world, except for us.
No tarrifs. They only bring retaliation and media gum flapping.
Just pick up the stuff you’re about to buy every week and if it is from China, buy something else.
Conservatives need to quit using the language of the left, we can use liberal examples in place of Walmart, we can say Costco, or Target, or Penny's, or whatever, we do not need to keep feeding their anti-Walmart meme.
People to watch isn’t China but Japan. Watch as the Japanese play some games of their own—like an alliance with India and a closer link to Russia. Obama’s America is worthless as an Ally in any match up with China. But...Japan has always been one to think of ways to find creative allies (like Nazi Germany and fascist Italy).
