Now in steps an increased U.S. naval presence under the ploy of protecting ALL nations' interests and keeping the sea lanes open in the South China Sea.
This has all the makings of a containment policy aimed directly at China (which coincidentally, has not gone unnoticed by them) and the start of a new cold war.
With China's naval buildup a fact and a greater U.S. naval presence about to happen, the chances increase exponentially that accidents (incidents?) in the South China Sea will occur between Chinese and U.S. naval forces, be interpreted as provocative incidents initiated by the other that could eventually (inevitably?) lead to war.
The only conclusion one can draw from this geo-political pivot toward China is the U.S. will not accept any rivals to its imagined supremacy even if that supremacy is military only, built on a house of cards with enormous foreign debt overshadowing its severe economic and industrial decline, masked only by that military supremacy.
Just look what that military supremacy achieved in Iraq and Afghanistan.
