Report: China Moves 12,000 Troops to Russian Border
Report: China Moves 12,000 Troops to Russian Border
FSB official: "Something smells bad"
by Paul Joseph Watson | September 9, 2014
According to a Russian media report, at least 12,000 heavily armed Chinese troops have been moved to the border with Russia as tensions in the region continue to build.The report cites the Russian FSB Border service as saying that Beijing began dispatching troops to the border on September 6, with 12-15,000 soldiers making the trip backed by heavy artillery.
According to a translated quote that the report attributes to a Russian border representative, it is not yet clear why the troops have been concentrated on the border but that “something smells bad.”
It remains to be seen whether the reported Chinese troops movements are related to large scale Russian nuclear drills set to take place on the Chinese border later this month.
Russia and China have been forging closer links in recent weeks and months, with the two super powers recently signing a $400bn deal for Gazprom to supply gas from Russia to China, the biggest natural gas deal sealed by Moscow since the collapse of the USSR. Work on the construction of the pipeline began last week.
Tensions between Russia and NATO flared last week when General Yury Yakubov, a senior Defense Ministry official, said that part of Russia’srevision to its military doctrine would include treating the United States and its NATO allies as an enemy threat against which preemptive nuclear strikes could be launched.
Last week NATO also approved a “rapid response force” of 3,500 troops that would be situated at bases in Poland, Romania, and the Baltic states in a move that was widely seen as a further aggressive escalation aimed at Moscow.

China Tells Susan Rice to Curb U.S. Surveillance Flights
Pentagon says flights will continue despite last month's near-collision
by Charles Hoskinson | Washington Examiner | September 9, 2014
A top Chinese official on Tuesday told visiting U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice that improved military ties between the two countries would require the curbing of “close-in reconnaissance” by U.S. aircraft near China.
“We hope the U.S. can promote the healthy development of new China-U.S. military ties with concrete actions,” the official Xinhua news agency quoted Fan Changlong, vice chairman of China’s Central Military Commission, as saying.
The comments echoed those by other Chinese officials to Rice, who is making her first visit to Beijing as national security adviser in advance of President Obama‘s participation in an APEC summit there in November.

Chinese PLA Prof: Third World War Could Break Out Over US/Russia Clash
Beijing must prepare for new global conflict, warns People's Daily editorial

by Paul Joseph Watson | September 16, 2014
In an editorial for the state-run People’s Daily, Chinese PLA Professor Han Xudong warns that Beijing should prepare itself for a third world war which could arise out of the conflict between the United States and Russia over Ukraine.
“As the Ukrainian crisis deepens, international observers have become more and more concerned about a direct military clash between the US and Russia. Once an armed rivalry erupts, it is likely to extend to the globe. And it is not impossible that a world war could break out,” writes Xudong, noting that “the world has entered an era of new forms of global war” based around the Internet and the concept of sea power.Noting that “China’s overseas interests have been increasingly threatened by the US,” Xudong warns that Beijing, “must bear a third world war in mind when developing military forces, especially the sea and air forces.”
The professor goes on to predict, “It’s likely that there will be a third world war to fight for sea rights,” and that in order for China to be ready for this new conflict, Beijing needs to, “develop its military power based on a global war” so as to guard against becoming a passive victim of events.
Xudong’s comments take on further significance given reports last week that Beijing recently moved 12,000 troops to the border with Russia
Economist Martin Armstrong notes that Xudong’s are also aimed at Japan. “The sentiment in China for war against Japan is rising in popularity. Keep in mind that China does not confront NATO as does Russia. The prospects that we will see a conflict in Asia are rising rapidly,” he writes.
China and Russia have been moving increasingly closer in recent months as the two superpowers attempt to forge an alternative multi-polar world system in opposition to the unipolar world system represented by NATO, the EU and the United States. The two countries recently started work on building the pipeline for a $400bn deal for Gazprom to supply gas from Russia to China, the biggest natural gas deal sealed by Moscow since the collapse of the USSR.
Earlier this month, General Yury Yakubov, a senior Russian Defense Ministry official, said that part of Moscow’s revision to its military doctrine would include treating the United States and its NATO allies as an enemy threat against which preemptive nuclear strikes could be launched.

Russia To Deploy "Full-Scale Military Unit" In Crimea
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2014 20:43 -0400
Just a day after NATO began military exercises (with troops from the US) near the city of Lviv in Western Ukraine, WSJ reports Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu is responding to the "rising foreign military presence," near Russia. In a not-so-de-escalatory move, Shoigu explained that NATO's comments were "light-minded" and his ministry's key task now is to "deploy a full-scale and self-sufficient force grouping" in the Crimea region.
First this...Then, as The Wall Street Journal reports,
Russian Defense Ministry official calls light-minded NATO general's statements about Russian military presence in UkraineAs far as the ceasefire.. it's still on...
Russia will set up a full-scale military unit on the annexed peninsula of Crimea in response to "rising foreign military presence" next to Russia, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Tuesday, Interfax news agency reported.
One of his ministry's key tasks now is to "deploy a full-scale and self-sufficient force grouping" in the Crimea region, Mr. Shoigu said.
The statement comes a day after the North Atlantic Treaty Organization began military exercises with troops from the U.S. and other NATO members near the city of Lviv in western Ukraine. The exercises had been slated to take place earlier but were delayed to Sept. 15-26 because of the turmoil in eastern Ukraine. The U.S. and NATO accuse Russia of deploying tens of thousands of troops along its border with Ukraine.

Hhmm - seems they have a different definition of truce... though Ukraine needs to keep stocking up its arms deliveries.

China Warns Of World War 3
Wednesday, September 17, 2014 7:19
(Before It's News) By Susan Duclos – All News PipeLine
Lee Ann Mcadoo and Paul Joseph Watson discuss a variety of disturbing current events in the video below, but perhaps the most concerning of them all is the news that in the Chinese state-run People’s Daily, a dire warning is issued by PLA Professor Han Xudong, who states that China should prepare for a “third world war,” which would stem from the conflict between the United States and Russia over Ukraine.
Via InfoWars:
As the Ukrainian crisis deepens, international observers have become more and more concerned about a direct military clash between the US and Russia. Once an armed rivalry erupts, it is likely to extend to the globe. And it is not impossible that a world war could break out,” writes Xudong, noting that “the world has entered an era of new forms of global war” based around the Internet and the concept of sea power.
From economic woes to military conflicts, the Ebola virus to ISIS, events are spiraling out of control, current events in the headlines read like a horror movie, chilling in their intensity and when looked at together, show a world on the very edge of collapse.

China, Russia flex muscles in increasing number of close calls with U.S. aircraft
The Washington Post
2 hrs ago
© AP Photo/OSD This handout photo provided by the Office of the Defense Secretary, taken Aug. 19, 2014, shows a Chinese fighter jet that the Obama administration said conducted a "dangerous intercept"…
A recent spate of dangerous midair encounters between American military aircraft and Chinese and Russian planes in the Pacific are the result of increasingly assertive strategies by both U.S. adversaries to project power far beyond their borders, according to the top U.S. Air Force commander in the region.
Air Force Gen. Herbert “Hawk” Carlisle, the head of U.S. Pacific Air Forces, said China’s naval and air forces in particular are “very much continuing to push” and becoming more active in international waters and airspace in Asia.
“They still talk about the century of humiliation in the last century. They still talk about this as the rise of China,” Carlisle said in an interview. “They still talk about this as their great nation. And they want to continue to demonstrate that.”
Carlisle said U.S. and Chinese forces are frequently encountering each other in parts of the East China and South China seas where they rarely came into contact in the past. Since commissioning its first aircraft carrier two years ago, China’s navy has conducted more exercises farther away from its shores and is closely patrolling areas in disputed waters where Chinese companies are drilling for oil.
Those movements have prompted the U.S. military in turn to deploy its ships and reconnaissance aircraft to keep a close watch. China’s military usually responds by conducting intercepts of U.S. aircraft as the two sides jockey for position, Carlisle said.
“All of that makes their tension go up a little bit,” he added.
U.S. officials said one such encounter got out of hand in August, when a Chinese J-11 fighter jet flashed past a Navy Poseidon P-8 patrol aircraft, performing a “barrel roll” at close range and bringing its wingtip within 20 feet of the U.S. plane. That incident occurred in international airspace about 135 miles east of China’s Hainan Island.
At the time, Pentagon officials protested publicly and released photos of the near-miss, which they cited as evidence of rash and irresponsible behavior on the part of the Chinese pilot. They said the same Chinese military unit had conducted three other risky intercepts of U.S. aircraft earlier in the year.
Carlisle was more measured in his assessment, saying that there has always been “an ebb and flow” in the number of Chinese intercepts and that he didn’t think China’s military leadership was looking to provoke a conflict.
“I personally don’t think it needs to get too much hype,” said Carlisle, who will leave his post in the Pacific this month to take a new assignment as chief of the Air Force’s Air Combat Command at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Hampton, Va. But he acknowledged that “the opportunity for something to go wrong” will likely increase as China’s military gathers strength and moves farther afield.
To prevent such incidents, the Pentagon has tried to enhance communications channels and expand formal ties with the People’s Liberation Army in recent years. Although U.S. officials said progress has been made, they added that they didn’t expect to solve the issue overnight.
“I am disappointed. Am I surprised? I’m not necessarily surprised,” Adm. Samuel Locklear, the chief of the U.S. Pacific Command, said at a Sept. 25 news briefing at the Pentagon, when asked about the close calls. He added that the “vast majority” of interactions between U.S. and Chinese military aircraft and ships resulted in no problems. “It’s those outliers that concern us.”
While the Pentagon has long expected an increase in Chinese military activity in the Pacific, it has also had to confront a resurgent Russia, which is conducting more long-range reconnaissance and bomber missions in the region and even approaching U.S. territory.
On Sept. 17, U.S. fighter jets intercepted a half-dozen Russian military planes — two fighter jets, two long-range bombers and two refueling tankers — as they were flying in international airspace near the coast of Alaska. U.S. officials said they have also seen an increase in Russian bombers flying near Guam, the U.S. territory in the Pacific.
Carlisle attributed the Russian flights to a strategy by President Vladi*mir Putin “to reassert Russia into what he thinks its rightful place in the international order is, and part of that is continuing to push into the Pacific.”
He described the Russian maneuvers “a little harder to figure out” in comparison to Chinese military actions, which he called “more rational.”
Russia has also become more active in airspace between its Pacific border and Japan, prompting a sharp rise in Japanese intercepts of Russian military aircraft over the past year.
In turn, Russia hasn’t hesitated to challenge U.S. reconnaissance flights near its territory. In April, a Russian Su-27 fighter jet flew within 100 feet of a U.S. Air Force RC-135U aircraft that was operating in international airspace over the Sea of Okhotsk, prompting complaints from the Pentagon.
