Following the recent practice bombing of every major Australian city by a nuclear-capable flotilla of Chinese warships, Japan has notified allies that Xi’s coming south in other ways as well.
Japan said it observed two Chinese aircraft carriers and supporting warships operating simultaneously near remote Japanese islands in the Pacific Ocean for the first time, a new demonstration of Beijing’s advancing naval capabilities.
The aircraft carrier Shandong was seen sailing into the Pacific at the weekend and identified on Monday conducting fighter jet and helicopter take-off and landing training, according to Japan’s Joint Staff Office. That was occurring inside the exclusive economic zone around the Japanese atoll of Okinotori, around 1,740 km south of Tokyo, the office said.
On Saturday the carrier Liaoning was seen inside the EEZ of the uninhabited Japanese island of Minamitori, more than 1,800 km southeast of Tokyo, and remained in the region with other warships on Sunday, the Joint Staff Office said earlier.
I’ve always found the notion of the “island chains” as barriers to the Pacific for the PLAN a bit silly. China has an enormous coastline and has easy access to the Pacific via multiple channels if it has the capability.
That is so long as it has the hardware to fight on multiple fronts, the chain does not exist.
That is what is concerning about these carriers coming south. There are thought to be another three carriers in planning, including nuclear-powered, by the early 2030s.
Xi’s coming south, ready or not.
More likely not, with Albo in charge. FT.
The Pentagon has launched a review of the 2021 Aukus submarine deal with the UK and Australia, throwing the security pact into doubt at a time of heightened tension with China. The review to determine whether the US should scrap the project is being led by Elbridge Colby, a top defence department official who previously expressed scepticism about Aukus, according to six people familiar with the matter. Ending the submarine and advanced technology development agreement would destroy a pillar of security co-operation between the allies.
In March, Colby said it would be “great” for Australia to have SSNs but cautioned there was a “very real threat of a conflict in the coming years” and that US SSNs would be “absolutely essential” to defend Taiwan.
Sceptics of the nuclear technology-sharing pact have also questioned whether the US should help Australia obtain the submarines without an explicit commitment to use them in any war with China.
…John Lee, an Australia defence expert at the Hudson Institute, said pressure was increasing on Canberra because the US was focusing on deterring China from invading Taiwan this decade. He added that Australia’s navy would be rapidly weakened if it did not increase defence spending to 3 per cent of GDP.
Why stick with AUKUS if we aren’t even willing to defend ourselves?
Pretty basic math.
“Once we squeeze all we can out of the United States, it can dry up and blow away.” ~ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 2002. (Widely reported, see here) – http://www.whale.to/c/jewish_q.html
“Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don’t worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it.” Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon to Shimon Peres, October 3, 2001, as reported on Kol Yisrael radio. (Certainly the FBI’s cover-up of the Israeli spy ring/phone tap scandal suggests that Mr. Sharon may not have been joking.) –
Netanyahu caught on tape in 2001: ‘Don’t worry about the Americans, we easily manoeuvre them’ – ‘This is how I deliberately sabotaged the Oslo Accords’ – ‘We plan to strike Palestinians several times, so hard the pain will be unbearable’

RE: “China isn’t a threat to Oz, cause we are already part of it, with globalism we are not so happy credit score slaves.”
I will be reminded agin of who it was that transformed the “communist” Chinese into the manufacturing and trading centre of the Universe. lol Using OUR resources at bargain basement prices, even free in some cases, while we pay through the nose for our very own resources.
And now we are even knocking our hips off to deprive ourselves of those very same resources in order to ensure a plentiful supply for the foreign Resource Merchants.
He, he… we’ve made great progress and strides from the Lucky Country to the Smart Country, eh? lol The phrase “Never give a sucker a luck break” comes to mind.
War is a means to send nations broke and depopulate youth on all sides. So it goes on since 1914 the krown kabal komunist masonic agenda – military medical murder industrial complex.
China isn’t a threat to Oz, cause we are already part of it, with globalism we are not so happy credit score slaves.
Tptb, who we never see, have made CCP the one belt downunder building tunnels and Sydney’s second airport, all since Covid! It’s a racket, pirrrbright pilgrims wellcome serco trust, the kabal zio-mafia and 🇨🇳 the new America making every thing. The traitors are international transcending all borders, loaded on all bases.
The Meaning of ‘War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength’
By Dr Oliver Tearle (Loughborough University)
“……….How can war be its opposite, peace? How can freedom be enslaving, when the two things stand in stark opposition to each other? And how can ignorance be lauded as a strength? It is from such topsy-turvy statements that the dystopian world of Orwell’s novel was created.
But ‘War is Peace’ is explained in more detail in the ‘book within a book’ that features in Nineteen Eighty-Four. This (fictional) book is titled The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism and its author is Emmanuel Goldstein, a rival of Big Brother who supposedly runs the Brotherhood, a resistance movement. Chapter III of Goldstein’s book, which Winston reads, is titled ‘War is Peace’, and explains the origins of the Party’s slogan:
The war, therefore, if we judge it by the standards of previous wars, is merely an imposture. […] But though it is unreal it is not meaningless. It eats up the surplus of consumable goods, and it helps to preserve the special mental atmosphere that a hierarchical society needs. War, it will be seen, is now a purely internal affair. In the past, the ruling groups of all countries, although they might recognize their common interest and therefore limit the destructiveness of war, did fight against one another, and the victor always plundered the vanquished. In our own day they are not fighting against one another at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact.
War, then, against some imagined enemy helps to mobilise society and keep its hierarchical structures in place. People become unified in a wartime situation and when on a wartime footing. Goldstein goes on:
The very word ‘war’, therefore, has become misleading. It would probably be accurate to say that by becoming continuous war has ceased to exist. The peculiar pressure that it exerted on human beings between the Neolithic Age and the early twentieth century has disappeared and been replaced by something quite different. The effect would be much the same if the three super-states, instead of fighting one another, should agree to live in perpetual peace, each inviolate within its own boundaries.
Goldstein then continues, explaining how the terms war and peace become interchangeable in the new political landscape:…………..”

This latest Chinese Communist threat looks a bit like the “Russian expansionism” towards NATO that’s been progressed since the fall of the Berlin Wall. lol
Anyone with a lil nouse and grey matter can see that China is being squeezed and encircled by antagonistic parties. And it’s sending warning signals that it won’t allow itself to be strangled like Japan was being strangled before Pearl Harbour!
Still, it’s good to have my daily brainwash, lest I fall into the cesspool of reality and forget about my operant conditioning.

[…] Japan warns CCP aircraft carriers heading south in Pacific […]
Did you know?, Australia had an Aircraft Carrier, never replaced. Why? https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/HMAS_Melbourne_(R21)#Design
Caltrop.. As you know, China is not the threat, the US is – and this has been proven many times over.
I just hope the Australian government does nothing stupid.. because if they do, it will be a big mistake on their part. The sons and daughters of Australians will not go and fight and die in a war that the US creates.
Unless they manufacture a false flag – one is due on 4 July next month.. re a biological warfare outbreak supposedly in the US by a foreign power…

‘We are preparing for war’ with China ‘threat’, says US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth delivered an extremely hawkish speech in which he demonized China as a “threat” and said, “We are preparing for war”.
“Those who long for peace, must prepare for war. And that’s exactly what we’re doing. We are preparing for war, in order to deter war — to achieve peace through strength”, Hegseth stated.
The top Donald Trump administration official made these aggressive remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue 2025, a summit held in Singapore on 31 May.
“The threat China poses is real, and it could be imminent. We hope not, but it certainly could be”, Hegseth claimed, indicating that the Pentagon was preparing for a war over Taiwan.
“Beyond our borders and beyond our neighborhood, we are reorienting toward deterring aggression by Communist China”, he stressed……………..

“Following the recent practice bombing of every major Australian city by a nuclear-capable flotilla of Chinese warships, …” What a load of rubbish.
After reading this first sentence, I did not bother I just skimmed over thee rest of this stupid article. There is no law against China holding exercises in international waters. Other countries do this all the time, including Australia.
And we need to be a member of AUKUS like we need a hole in the head.. Australia and the UK will just be the canon fodder for when the US makes war on China just like Ukraine.
And Taiwan is part of China, this is a solid fact accepted by everyone but never mentioned. Its the US that is stirring up trouble there.
