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.

Chinese been humiliated for too long and now even present day Chinese especially those Overseas Chinese are so traitious to not side with the own kind.
ReplyDeleteIf the PRC Chinese were to be weakened and be humiliated again, you bananas think that you be safe from been humiliated too???
Too diverse, selfish and ignorant.
The Chinese bananas who betrayed their own ancestors are worst animals, beasts and low-lives than the Atrocious Brutal Japanese and the Evil Devilish Americans.
ReplyDeleteChina must go all out to advance and progress in all fields of Human Developments, especially Scientific, Technological, Military, Medical, Mental-Physical, Economic and Agricultural.
China's strategic alliance with Russia must be maintained always.
The majority of the Chinese People world-wide must be united and strong in resolve, and take action to weed out the traitors amongst them by all means.
Only then can China be not belittled and humiliated again.
@ 4.41am 《《《The majority of the Chinese People world-wide must be united and strong in resolve, and take action to weed out the traitors amongst them by all means.》》》
ReplyDeleteAre you implying there are some "tradors" in a small "snortish pink dot"?
But how?
The "Axis powers" already "lined up" Canada, Australia, India, Yamamoto-fatherland Japan, Napoleon-fatherland France and of course Dotard's fatherland too. Total land area more than 35 million sq km. Total population 1.8 billion. Total GDP: US$32 T
China alone 9.7 sq km, 1.3 billion people including 56 different minorities, GDP US$13 T.
The Russian polar bear historically not reliable switched sides dunno how many times during WW1 & WW2.
Even during the 1894-1895 First Sino-Japenise War also known as Jia Wu Zhan Zhen in Chinese, the Russian "played out" the Qing Dynasty towards the end
Like that China isolated how to win against any "Axis Power"?
In a world war, global trade as good as "dead"?
Food, oil, raw materials, etc IMPORTS will be choked off as experienced by Germany and Japenise in WW2.
Without self-sufficiency in oil, food, essential raw materials, how is China and its economy going to last in a war?
Just an embargo or naval blockade without any war could bring Xi JinPing on his knees?
This Russian polar bear had a secret Molotov treaty with Hitler before WW2 and carved out Poland and several eastern European states and only fought Hitler's NAZI when he sent 1,800 division comprising 3.8 million troops in Operation Barbarossa in an all out assault on the Russian Polar Bear?
Dunno how many "secret treaties" they may have in time of war and how reliable they can be?
In the past 150 years, they never have been if historical precedences are anything to go by?
The Cairo Declaration was issued on 27 November 1943 and released in a Cairo Communiqué through radio on 1 December 1943,[4] stating the Allies' intentions to continue deploying military force until Japan's unconditional surrender. The main clauses of the Cairo Declaration are that the three great allies are fighting this war to restrain and punish the aggression of Japan, they covet no gain for themselves and won't involve themselves in territorial expansion wars after the conflict, "Japan be stripped of all the islands in the Pacific which she has seized or occupied since the beginning of the First World War in 1914", "all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese, including Manchuria, Formosa, and the Pescadores, shall be restored to the Republic of China", Japan will also be expelled from all other territories which she has taken by violence and greed and that "in due course Korea shall become free and independent"....
ReplyDeleteSan Francisco Treaty 1951.
The document officially renounces Japan's treaty rights derived from the Boxer Protocol of 1901 and its rights to Korea, Formosa (Taiwan) and the Pescadores, Hong Kong (then a British colony), the Kuril Islands, the Spratly Islands, Antarctica and Sakhalin Island.
Article 3 of the treaty left the Bonin Islands and the Ryukyu Islands, which included Okinawa and the Amami, Miyako and Yaeyama Islands groups, under a potential U.S. trusteeship. Whilst the treaty suggested that these territories would become U.S. trusteeship, at the end that option was not pursued. The Amami Islands were eventually restored to Japan on December 25, 1953, as well as the Bonin Islands on April 5, 1968.[25] In 1969 U.S.-Japan negotiations authorized the transfer of authority over the Ryūkyūs to Japan to be implemented in 1972. In 1972, the United States' "reversion" of the Ryūkyūs occurred along with the ceding of control over the nearby Senkaku Islands.[26] Both the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC) argue that this agreement did not determine the ultimate sovereignty of the Senkaku Islands.
Uncle Sam and China are on a collision course. The Evil Empire considered a rising China as "The Yellow Peril". The western obsession with the Thucydides Trap may become a self-fulfilling prophecy. China under the Qing Dynasty was weak and fell as a victim of foreign aggression and forced into signing unequal treaties. When China was liberated in 1949, Chairman Mao declared that the Chinese people have stood up. President Xi has also declared that not a single inch of ancestral land will be stolen from China anymore. China will fight to defend her rights. Uncle Sam and its stooges only want to show off their might.
ReplyDeleteWhere do all Chinese come from? Their ancestors are from China and it is their motherland. Whether you want to be classified as yellow bananas living in the West, you are still classified as Chinese, whatever you want to call yourself. You can never be white, whatever they tell you.
ReplyDeleteSimilarly, Indians all came from India and it is their motherland. Nothing can change that.
Never betray your heritage.
@ all the moral high ground wishful thinkers:
ReplyDeleteDon't sweat it, tke your time to complain...because there wil be plenty of time to do so.
US/ and it's lapdogs like the UK, Canada, Australia...will have a solid presencce in the SE and East Asian territories, nd thy will get the full support of ASEAN...even if it has to be hush-hush through diplomatic channels.
As I've said many times before:
The dynamic of RIVALRY between China and its partners and the USA and its partners is the preferred scenario. (Borrowing from the idea of MAD doctrine during the Cold War)
The last thing we should want is an ALLIANCE between China and the USA. 2 super powers in an alliance together....forget it. The first one to suffer and to be totlly enslaved from cradle to grave is the common man.
Sometimes having enemies is better thn having friends.
It goes without saying that an alliance between US and Russia or US and China is not good for the common man.
ReplyDeleteWe thought we have gotten rid of slavery in the old context, but modern slavery is already here in the form of debt entrapment that the present generation and those after cannot live without. The gradual erosion of the concept of freedom is another that is obvious.
The question is, how much further it will go and what kind of scenario it will take shape. It may be worse than the old context of slavery in the old days. Who knows?
@ 1152
ReplyDeleteThe concept of freedom is vague, and unless one narrows the context, discussions are likely to diverge into irrelevance.
IMO the idea of freedom has been (philosophically) stuck in the lalang for hundreds of years. This is because it is divided into "positive" and "negative" freedoms i.e. when one discusses "freedom", is it freedom TO... (own, or do something) or is it freedom FROM.. (something).
As you can imagine, the 2 different "freedoms" invariably conflict.
Freedom TO earn money and keep the money you earn will always be in conflict with the freedom FROM poverty or ill health or illiteracy... because your freedom to earn will be curtailed by TAXES (TAX IS THEFT! 😠) which go to fund "social programs" like the dole, socialised medicine and socialised education (mandatory Government's brain washing).
Freedom? It's good if you have some. The more you have, the better off you'll be. 👍
