Mixed Signals

Today's headlines indicate there is some validity to the theory that this is all posturing. 

1.) Us considers easing warnings for citizens traveling to China. Is this the shadow of an olive branch being offered to China as Japan, the Philippines, and USA meet to discuss mutual defense plans?

2.) China is trying to avert an economic slow down. Recessions happen. They do cause hardship. They can cause emotional trauma. The country will recover stronger than before. 

3.) The Philippines and US Air forces practice sinking ships. This can't be a surprise to anyone. 

4.) Submarines, and not Aircraft Carriers, may be the critical platform in the next Global War. 

5.) Same article, I am not the only one who thinks that China is going to face off with the USA, and allies, if China keeps up with its current actions. 

6.) US Coast Guard say it can, with local police authorities, board Chinese fishing vessels in the South Pacific to protect fisheries from poaching.
