The US is not getting anywhere with China

This week the US and China held high-level, annual talks and on the most contentious issues, it seems like we’re not getting anywhere with China.
In a meeting with Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang, Vice Premier Liu Yandong and State Councilor Yang Jiechi, President Obama “raised ongoing U.S. concerns about China’s cyber and maritime behaviour,” according to a White House Statement.
But there were no major developments on the matters.
The US and China can talk climate change, they can talk trade, they can talk cultural exchanges, but on the thorniest issues, China’s message needs to be read between the lines, and that message is — step off.
On cybersecurity
“There was an honest discussion, without accusations, without any finger-pointing, about the problem of cyber theft and whether or not it was sanctioned by government or whether it was hackers and individuals that the government has the ability to prosecute,” Secretary John Kerry said after meeting with Chinese officials.
Earlier this month, the US government traced a recent hack into the records of federal employees back to China. China denies any involvement.
And when it comes to cyber security in general, China’s official government line at last week’s talks was that the US should “respect the facts.”
Ask the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China about it, though, and they will tell you something totally different. The PLA published a memo last month called “Cybersovereignty Symbolises National Sovereignty” about how the internet has become a stage for war.
“The internet has become the main battlefront for struggle in the ideological area,” it said.
And that battle never ends. The memo said:
Western hostile forces and a small number of “ideological traitors” in our country use the network, and relying on computers, mobile phones and other such information terminals, maliciously attack our Party, blacken the leaders who founded the New China, vilify our heroes, and arouse mistaken thinking trends of historical nihilism, with the ultimate goal of using “universal values” to mislead us, using “constitutional democracy” to throw us into turmoil, use “colour revolutions” to overthrow us, use negative public opinion and rumours to oppose us, and use “de-partification and depoliticization of the military” to upset us.
So there’s that.
The South China Sea
For a year or so China has been steadily building islands on top of reefs in the South China Sea. At this point it has reclaimed 2,000 acres of land. In April, satellite imagery showed that the Chinese military had built an airstrip big enough for military aircraft.
The problem is that this is driving its neighbours crazy.
US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter has said that this building violates “international rules and norms that underscore the Asia-Pacific security architecture, and the regional consensus that favours diplomacy and opposes coercion.”
China says it has a historical claim on this land and that the reclamation and do not affect or target any particular country.
State run media is more bombastic about it.
“If the United States’ bottom line is that China has to halt its activities, then a US-China war is inevitable in the South China Sea,” wrote state-owned paper, The Global Post. “The intensity of the conflict will be higher than what people usually think of as ‘friction.'”
Naturally this issue was discussed at the talks, but according to Bloomberg, Chinese officials simply “reaffirmed China’s sovereignty in the South China Sea region and said the U.S. isn’t a party to disputes in the area.”
Icy.
According to William Choong, a senior fellow at International Institute for Strategic Studies in Singapore, this is part of China’s desire to be treated as an equal — this game is about respect.
“The Chinese, they have always tried to avoid the more contentious issues and therein lies the problem with the Strategic and Economic Dialogue talks,” Choong said. “If you’re not able to, number one, raise contentious issues and recognise them and number two, try to work at a kind of a workable solution… then in a sense you’re not going to go very far from where we are now.”
That’s a problem.

What do YOU think?
Và người Việt Nam bị MẤT NƯỚC vào tay bè lũ phản quốc CƯỚP NƯỚC DIỆT CHỦNG BÁN NƯỚC cộng sản VN nghĩ gì về những kẻ chủ trương "bắt tay", "hợp tác" với bè lũ chó má BÁN NƯỚC cộng sản VN để chống "tàu cộng xâm lược" ?
Ngày nào bè lũ chó má việt gian cộng sản VN còn cầm quyền chắc chắn không thể chống tàu cộng, nói khác hơn dân Việt sẽ mãi mãi NÔ LỆ dưới sự cai trị của bè lũ thái thú việt cộng, bè lũ chó má chủ trương BÁN NƯỚC cầu vinh .
Thực tế đã có quá nhiều người Việt mang danh "tranh đấu" cho đất nước , cho dân tộc nhưng hầu như chỉ biết vọng ngoại, chỉ biết trông chờ vào "thế giới", chỉ biết cúi đầu van xin bè lũ BÁN NƯỚC việt cộng bố thí cho dân Việt cái gọi là "nhân quyền" mà không MỞ MẮT MỞ TÂM để học những bài học ĐAU THƯƠNG, NHỤC NHẰN suốt 40 năm qua từ NGÀY QUỐC HẬN 30-4-1975, NGÀY MẤT NƯỚC vào tay bè lũ chó má cộng sản VN, vào tay lũ thú vật BÁN NƯỚC cầu vinh .
Bè lũ việt cộng còn ngồi trên đầu dân Việt, dân Việt chỉ có mỗi cái "quyền làm con vật" cho bọn chúng sai khiến , chà đạp, lăng nhục.
Hiện thời bọn tàu cộng lại mang giàn khoan hd 981 vào lãnh hải VN, hãy chờ xem bè lũ chó má việt cộng sẽ làm gì để chứng tỏ với dân VN rằng thì là chúng nó đang "bảo vệ chủ quyền", bảo vệ lãnh hải, lãnh thổ của Giang Sơn Việt hay sẽ tái đi tái lại, diễn đi diễn lại những trò hề trơ trẽn tục tỉu lố lăng khác tuy dị hợm, rẻ tiền nhưng lại có thể lừa bịp, che mắt những kẻ "tài cao", "học rộng" nhưng nhẹ dạ, dễ tin một cách đần độn, ngu xuẩn .
ĐAU NHỤC thay cho dân Việt và buồn nôn thay cho những kẻ trí thức khoa bảng hải ngoại một đời thành danh lại cam tâm làm tôi tớ ngoại bang và lòn trôn kẻ thù BÁN NƯỚC DIỆT CHỦNG việt cộng .
