The Grey Zone

Do what you like. Like what you do. 

Suggested Listening

Listen to How Civil Wars Start by Barbara F. Walter on Audible. 

This is an very heady book. After listening to the first chapter, I purchased the printed version from Amazon, so I would have it as a reference guide for future investigations. 

In the Grey Zone Again

China is taking over the Rozul Reef

Based on previous post about the nature of the Chinese Maritime Militia, in the abstract, as well as documented effect, these actions are tantamount to poaching. China is taking resources out of the Philippines Exclusive Economic Zone. In some cases the Chinese are encroaching on the Philippines territorial waters. This violates international law, but international law is all but impossible to enforce. China will do what China wants to do, and to hell with everyone else and the rule of law. 

Maybe it is time to take a page from the kids book, boycott all Chinese goods, sell off investments in Chinese goods and services. 

It might be a very good time to invest in Lockheed instead. 

The bigger questions to ask, and answer, is why is China encroaching on the Philippines Exclusive Economic Zone? 

Op-Ed

Admiral James Stravridis writes that the US needs a Naval Coalition to oppose China.

Admiral Rommel Jude Ong says the Chinese staged the latest incident to test resolve.
