I doubt this guy is even a westerner, he sounds very much like a chinese propagandist like this article below.
www.rappler.com...
This is with regards to China's spat against the Philippines accusing the latter of provoking a war with China with its aggression. This is my first time to ever heard a very weak nation that can't even hardly defend itself for a week threatening a giant? It's China who has been encroaching the territories of the Philippines ever since yet they have the gall to announce it's the other way around. China can't be trusted, the former USSR knows it, Vietnam knows it and these two were their former allies!
ask the Dalai Lama about how life on the run from the Chinese feels and knowing that's a life long situation?

The most serious trouble in recent decades has flared between Vietnam and China. The Chinese seized the Paracels from Vietnam in 1974, killing more than 70 Vietnamese troops. In 1988 the two sides clashed in the Spratlys, when Vietnam again came off worse, losing about 60 sailors.
The Philippines has also been involved in a number of minor skirmishes with Chinese, Vietnamese and Malaysian forces.
The most recent upsurge in tension has coincided with more muscular posturing from China. Beijing officials have issued a number of strongly-worded statements, including warning their rivals to stop any mineral exploration in the area.
The Philippines has accused China of building up its military presence in the Spratlys. In early 2012, the two countries engaged in a maritime stand-off, accusing each other of intrusions in the Scarborough Shoal. Chinese and Philippine vessels refused to leave the area for a number of weeks, leading to rhetoric and protests.
In July 2012 China formally created Sansha city, an administrative body with its headquarters in the Paracels which it says oversees Chinese territory in the South China Sea - including the Paracels and the Spratlys. Both Vietnam and the Philippines protested against this move.
In November 2012, China granted its border patrol police in Hainan the power to board and search foreign ships stopping in its waters or violating other regulations.
Unverified claims that the Chinese navy deliberately sabotaged two Vietnamese exploration operations in late 2012 led to large anti-China protests on the streets of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnam said it would be sending patrols to accompany its fisheries in the area. It also has held live-fire exercises off its coast - an action that was seen as a gross provocation by Beijing.
In the summer of 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait. This, however, did not result in Kuwait's loss of sovereignty due to a United States lead worldwide coalition which promptly mobilized to expel the invading forces. In 1980, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, faced years of international outcry and fighting with U.S. backed guerrillas, and finally under great international pressure pulled out in 1985. In 1949, China invaded Tibet, and by 1996 Tibet remains an occupied country. An estimated 1.2 million Tibetans have perished as a result of more than 40 years of occupation and the cultural genocide in Tibet continues unabated, as the world's governments stand by, virtually without action.

Even though the United Nation's General Assembly in 1961 and 1965 passed resolutions recognizing the Tibetans' right to self-determination, the United Nations has taken no steps to restore Tibet's sovereignty. Occasionally, United Nations independent expert bodies draw attention to China's international law violations. However, the political bodies within the United Nations system who are responsible for policy and action, more often than not, refuse to intervene. This year's session of the Human Rights Commission, which under pressure from China, refused to even discuss a resolution on human rights abuses in China, is an example of the United Nations' unwillingness to uphold international law.

The Chinese will keep on expanding - slowly but surely.
Tibet is a lost cause now. There is no point crying over it.
This is the whole point. The United States has failed to act as a true super-power worthy of ruling the entire Earth. USA's actions have been similar to other self-serving powers, just couched in democratic propaganda. There has been a serious gap between talk and action and world has lost confidence in its lone superpower as a result.
NWO has already failed in its objective of Unifying the world under one government. Why? Because its agenda has been hijacked by greed. What remains is a military defeat. Ideological defeat has already happened.
USA as a linchpin of NWO does not have a bright future.
We shall revert back to a multi-polar world 10 years from now. USA will be gone by then and rebuilding after a devastating war would have started.

China is a threat because they are building up militarily and laying claim to anything they want to, and bullying their neighbors. They need the resources more than anyone, and are claiming places that they have no right to.

If those flags weren't all over surrounding Iran, the possibility is endless Iran will do a Saddam Hussien and invade every small countries it can take. They wouldn't be called Persians for nothing.

I guess your last statement will happen. Japan and the Philippines seems getting cosier despite the old wounds of WW2 and I think the ASEAN bloc will disintegrate as some of its members are too pro-China and a new grouping may come out of this with a common goal, thus of containing China.
You should read a book called "Ahmadinejad, the secret history of Irans radical leader"
