Tensions Rise Between China And The U.S. Inching World Closer To WW3<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While half the media is distracted and obsessed about an extramarital affair that U.S. President Donald Trump allegedly had a decade ago with Stormy Daniels, U.S. geopolitical policy has been shifting towards China, putting us all in danger of conflict with the Communist superpower which has recently become a dictatorship<\/a> with moves against human rights<\/a> and presidential rights shifting back to a dynasty style of government.<\/p>\n

Over the past few weeks, several events have elevated the U.S. geopolitical tension with China which since the Obama administration has been in turmoil after failed diplomatic discussions. It all started in 2012 when China and the Philippines engaged in a lengthy maritime feud which resulted in rejections of the verdict by China in 2016, increasing the chances of potential conflict in the region.<\/p>\n

In 2016, an arbitration court ruled<\/a> that China had(s) no historic title over the waters of the South China Sea and that it in doing so breached the Philippines\u2019 sovereign rights with its actions.<\/p>\n

China reacted<\/a> by boycotting the proceedings, rejecting them and stating that the ruling was \u201cill-founded.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last November, China announced the creation of two Chinese-controlled international maritime courts that would be used to provide China\u2019s interpretation of maritime law, Epoch Times<\/em> reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte responded<\/a> by stating the man-made islands aren\u2019t pointed at us.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not intended for us. The contending ideological powers of the world or the geopolitics has greatly changed. It\u2019s really intended against those who the Chinese think would destroy them and that is America,\u201d Duterte noted. \u201cWe did nothing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Philippines also just announced possible discussions for joint South China Sea projects only last week, which may be an attempt to ease the tension, Japan Times<\/em> reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n
