It appears china is building some kind of a base of operations where it can dock ships and maybe with a runway in the south China sea in an area where there are reefs and rocks. They are dredging up the coral and making a land mass that might be large enough to build an airstrip.

Maybe China wants to take over the world. China polluted much of its own land and now it want to take all the fishing rights form people in the south China Sea. I think China sees this as a fight for survival to feed its people.

Many countries have turned to the sea for both fish farming and oil production. One bad oil spill could cause major problems in the area.

I for one welcome our new overlords.

Maybe after China overthrows the US we can have public executions of the wall street criminals?

Another example of mankind falling fast? It's all around you my friends. I think the greed and the terrible nature of humans is not going to have good results.

In the OP: "China wants to feed its own people." Really? Like they haven't been fed for the last 5000 years? What's so special now? Oh I see. They're so modern and educated now that they must have MORE food. More meat. More milk. More oil, more rubber etc.

It's a real shame how far humanity has come and still how far we have yet to go. But to be honest, I don't think we've come as far as we think we have.

If USA never made China as most favored friend then china would still be mostly as we see them in the movies with rickshaws with shaved head ponytails and old style stone/cement courtyard made just for a kung fu movie set.

If China remained as such I would move there instantly.

Not sure if your kidding or not. Replacing one corrupt group of people with another corrupt group of people is not going to help anyone. That is why elections are a joke. China is just as messed up as anyone else - just on a different scale. (BTW, I think China should be careful because you can only exploit nature so much before it goes out of hand. Same goes for other countries as well).
