PRC and the Future

From Chet Nagle, writing for The Daily Caller, we have "Red Tide Rising".  The article is about the Peoples Republic of China stretching out its writ to include all the waters up to the local limits of other nations in the local area.

I think this is a little over the top in terms of the situation, but I do see China as being like Germany in the late 19th Century.

That article was from 6 September of this year.  Here is something from Saturday's Washington Post about Viet-nam strengthening its ties to the United States in light of China's muscle flexing.

This is not something to be relaxed about, but there is time for us—all of us—to work through this problem and have a solution that is different from that of August 1914.

Hat tip to GW.  (I wonder if Chet Nagle and GW are classmates from the Boat School?)
