US View of Status Quo in South China Sea Is Outrageous And ASEAN's View Selfish And Ignorant

I refer to the Shangrila Dialogue on Sunday, 3rd of June, 2018  with reference to a misguided statement about preserving the status quo in the South China Sea issue. What is the "Status Quo" they are talking? As a paradox I will tell a story . A few of Mr. X bad neighbours had entered his courtyard and stole some of his chickens. The  rogue leader in the village who had interest in the stolen goods then told Mr X to accept the fait accompli - the status quo in order to preserve peace in the village. It is the same when Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei were goaded by the rogue state USA to steal many of the Chinese islands in the South China Sea in the early 1960s and 1970s when China had no credible navy to speak of to supervise and maintain security of Chinese sovereignty over the Chinese island territories in the South China Sea. Now China is strong and powerful enough to assert her legal and lawful rights in her former territories. China is not even chasing the robbers away from the Chinese islands they occupy. Instead China just reclaim some of the shoals and islets from the sea and build some defensive facilities to ensure China,s security in the South China Sea from further encroachment by the thieves and robbers and by the rogue Americans. If this is the status quo US or Mr Ng is speaking of it is totally unacceptable to China and all respectable and dignified Chinese wherever they may be.

The Evil Empire - USA and the misinformed ASEAN ministers and politicians must be clear and more specific when they talk about preserving the 'status quo' in the South China Sea.

Since ancient times China had founded the Paracel and Spratly islands as well as many more of the atols, shoals and islets in the South China Sea and these have been part of Chinese sovereign territories since time immemorial. Even when the British buccaneers encroached on China from the 1830s to 1950s and the French conquest of parts of Southern China and Indo-China in 1885 they never challenge Chinese sovereignty over these islands. These islands were occupied by the Japanese during the Second World War , 1937 to 1945.

After the Second World War , under the terms of Japanese surrender as imposed by the United Nations and witnessed and signed by all the big powers including US, Russia, UK, France, China and even Japan too , all the South China Sea islands inclusive of the Paracel and Spratly islands, the Scaborough Islands and the rest of the island archipelagos as well as the Diau Yudao or Senkaku as called by the Japanese  were lawfully and legally returned to China which was then nominally ruled by a pro-US decadent government of Chiang Kai Shek's Kuomingtang  - KMT  which was having a civil war with Chairman Mao's communist party from 1930s to 1949.

But when Chairman Mao's People Republic of China won the civil war and China came under the rule of  the Chinese communist party, the rogue Americans then reneged on the terms of the Japanese surrender. US first illaterally and illegally transfered its trustiship  in the administration of Diau Yudao to Japan in 1976 without China's agreement and without consultation with the United Nations Organisation . Then in the  1970s realising its hold on South East Asia was untenable because it sensed defeat coming soon in the Vietnam war and at the time when China was still weak without a credible navy to oversee  and maintain China's sovereignty over her South China Sea island territories , a few South East Asia land robbers with the instigation and support of America began to steal many of the Chinese islands. The Vietnamese stole 25 islands , Philippines 12, Malaysia 9 and Brunei 5. Even Indonesia quietly encroached on a large part of the Chinese fishing ground.

US and its western allies kept quiet when Vietnam and the Philippines began to fortify the islands they occupied with military installations. They assume these stolen islands as their fait accompli possessions inspite of China.s protest and they were very bravado about it because they have the rogue Americans backing them.

The fact that China has a communist government does not in any  sense legally or otherwise nullify the original terms of the Japanese surrender . Whether China is rule by the KMT or communist or by whatever ideological government for it is after all still a Chinese state and no amount of excuse or treachery is allowed to transcend and nullify the original terms of Japanese surrender pertaining to the return of Chinese territories in the East  China and South China Sea. That is in essence the prevailing legal status quo at the point of history and must be seen to be adopted and respected at all times by all countries in due respect to Chinese rights and sovereignty.

However the prevailing status quo was sinisterly breached and broken by the treacherous Americans who insidiously reneged on the original terms of Japanese surrender just because China now has a communist government which is anathema to US interest. So if any ASEAN politician or minister wants to talk of status quo pertaining to the South China Sea issues they must be clear minded and conversant with the true historical and political perspective of the region and not base on guess work, personal or private opinion and worst on massive American worldwide toxic propaganda. They must courageously tell Americans to the face to honour the  original terms of the Japanese surrender failing which they will appear to show that they are biasly pro-America and anti-China and that does not bode well for ASEAN and Asia as a whole.

Further under US outrageous view of status quo which has somehow influenced and poisoned the thinking of some silly ASEAN member countries it is tantamount to asking China to submit to US demand that China must somehow sacrifice and give up her ownership and sovereignty of her South China Sea islands and territorial seas in order to placate the insatiable appetite of American. aggression .

The ugly and evil hands of US and its western allies are always at work to undermine China in all spheres of life be it political, economic, financial or territorial. In 1986 they contrived the idea of UNCLOS - United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Sea which allowed maritime countries to claim up to 200 miles economic zone offshore . China as a maritime country supported the agreement but with the proviso that it must not supercede and impinge on China's historical rights and sovereignty over all her existing South China Sea island territories and territorial seas.

However though the US and some western countries dishonourably refused to sign , they nevertheless insisted that China should accept the unlawful claims of many of these Chinese islands by Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei because they are within two hundred miles offshore of these countries totally ignoring Chinese existing rights , sovereignty and interest.

It is very clear that US and the West connived and contrived this UNCLOS treaty with a view to create trouble and problems for East Asians and to disadvantage China vis-a-vis her neighbouring South China Sea littoral states. In short the Evil Empire and its western allies had plotted long in advance the Arab Middle East syndrome of permanent wars and instabilities for East Asia and the South China Sea periphery.

Had the US signed the treaty America would have to give up many of her ill gotten illegal   possessions of territories like Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Marshall Islands and many other small islands in the Pacific Ocean and UK and France will have to surrender many of the islands in the Indian Ocean like Diego Garcia and the Falkland Island and some other islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Where is the logic when China legally and rightfully build some defense facilities in her own territories it is strongly objected by US and its Western allies , whereas on the contrary US has built over a thousand military bases all over the world and in other people's lands which they acquired by coercion to surround China and Russia menacingly in threatening posture not only to threaten China and Russia but also to awe and blackmail other smaller weaker countries into submission to American dictates and hegemony. This evil satanic aspect of the Evil Empire has been overlooked or ignored by many ASEAN ministers and politicians either through ignorance or fear of the monster and so they tend to echo America''s false accusations against China. To the Americans and its Western allies China is not even allowed to have the right to light a lamp but they have every right to pervertly build big and strong ferocious fires at China's door steps.

It is time ASEAN and the world must wake up and in unison with United Nations Organisation demand that America close down and dismantle all its worldwide military bases . These bases cannot be for peace but for wanton US aggression and total hegemony over all other people and countries on earth.
