August 14, 2015

Wednesday   12 August  2015  / Hour 2, Block A: Scott Harold, Asia-Pacific Policy at RAND, dep dir, in re: Two live-fire Chinese exercises. . .  Regional states see China's aggression as outside of their norms; many countries are working together to buy arms jointly, train together; stand together with interests with which it has common interests and values.  Even one-party dictatorships have domestic politics to worry about: currently, wracked in its most severe crisis of several decades. Xi Jinping soon to attack Hu Jintao and Jiang Zemin.  No climbdown. Will visit Washington saying, "The cyber attacks are your imagination." http://www.smh.com.au/world/chinas-great-wall-of-sand-unifies-allies-in-pacific-says-us-naval-chief-20150808-giuonl.html
