(CNSNews.com) - If China continues to arm all of the bases they've reclaimed in the South China Sea...they will change the operational landscape in the region," Admiral Harry Harris, head of U.S. Pacific Command, told a news conference on Thursday.
"And short of war with the United States, they can become -- they can rise to the level of having operational control, tactical control of the waterways and airways in the South China Sea, which today, involves about $5.3 trillion of trade, over a billion of which -- over a trillion of which is destined for the United States.
"There are enormous I.T. infrastructure in the...undersea cables in the South China Sea. It's a principle shipping lane, as we've discussed.
"And I think that, again, short of war with the United States, China will exercise de facto control of the South China Sea, if they are -- if they continue to outfit the bases that they've reclaimed there."
Harris said China, in the past few years, has reclaimed almost 3,000 acres of land from the South China Sea, turning many of the islands into military bases.
"I am of the opinion that they are militarizing the South China Sea," Harris said.

Can't wait to hear all the desperation and whining when all the liberal policy and one world government believers have all their luxurious lifestyles taken away and your forced to comply with your enemies policy
It is called the south CHINA sea. You know?
My understanding of the situation: the Chinese, like Russia's Putin, realize what a POxxS Obama is doing to convert the world to a Muslim ONLY world. They, like Russia, are preparing to protect themselves against the invasion and preserve their own identity. The US is no longer a international leader and will never be one again. The unrest and outright bigotry and racism fomented by the Obama administration has done its job.
Learn to speak Chinese the language you will need to survive , I now know most important words a phrases . ho yo mamas dadie? means who's your daddy . It's an easy language .

What more of a red flag do you need? People are so in the dark China has been buying metal and natural resources for years and years. What can you make out of metal hmmmmm. Doesnt take a brilliant person to put together the puzzle. China will call on the debt one day and it will get very real.
