US, China at odds over controlling energy resources

I rambled a bit yesterday, but I basically said that the current arrangement between the US and China cannot last. They can't continue to send us goods for our depreciating Dollars--and I mean depreciating in terms of purchasing power, not in relation to other currencies--only to lend many of those Dollars back to us. I talked about China and the US as competing empires, though China has mostly refrained, thus far, from openly using its military to advance its interests. To gain access to commodities and control market share, the US and China will likely fight a war, or a series of wars by proxies, in the not too distant future. Press TV, 6/6/12:




Press-TV-Iran



The United States and China are at odds over controlling the world’s energy resources especially now that Washington is shifting its military focus to Asia, says Linh Dinh, Pennsylvania-based political analyst and writer.

To achieve their goal, the U.S. is using its “military might to intimidate” other nations in Europe, Africa and Asia, he said in an interview with the Press TV’s U.S. Desk on Tuesday. But, he added, China is trying to advance its economic agenda through “diplomacy.”

U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta last week announced Washington’s plan to deploy military warships and troops into Asian waters reportedly to counter a rising China. The decision faced Chinese opposition.

Dinh said the U.S. has made the decision to use its military force “to prevent China from moving more aggressively” into the European market.

I think we might see a surprising joint venture between China's oligarchs and the US military. China recently extended valuable gambling concessions to Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn (Weinstein) of Vegas. Also the first 2 tenants of the new WTC in New York are the Neuhaus family (Advanced Publications) and the China Center. The quid pro quo must be the Tribe getting Iran's oil at a 40 percent discount for the Chinese and State securing all the Afghan resources for Chinese and Indian manufacturing concerns. The Jews have also been allowed to open up a Synagogue and Hebrew school in China. The glass sheeting on the WTC came from China, not the venerable and Gentile owned PPG, which was passed over by the Port Authority which is also being sued I believe by the Auto Club for paying for the WTC with scalped commuter fees in violation of some law. Very little media coverage for some reason. Perhaps you knew that.
