Thoughts of the Week:
- … the United States remains an enormously powerful nation militarily, with thousands of nuclear weapons in addition to its unparalleled conventional forces, yet it suffers from declining strategic flexibility.
- … corruption in China is spiraling out of control. Last week, the Chinese central bank issued a report on its website that said some 16,000 to 18,000 government officials had embezzled $124 billion and fled the country in the last 15 years. Insiders in Washington and Beijing believe that the numbers are understated and that a large portion of the illicit capital flight took place within the last two years. The Chinese military is certainly no bystander in this spectacular heist, with all the privileged means at its disposal to easily and legally bypass customs controls and financial regulators.

PIRACY
While the European naval mission Atalanta avoids definitive contact with the pirates who plague the waters around the Horn of Africa, shipping companies are protecting their vessels with armed private security personnel. SPIEGEL joined one such ship as it ran the pirate gauntlet on the world's most important trade route.

Thought of the Week:
- Somali pirates, driven north by monsoon rains, will probably attack more tankers navigating the Strait of Hormuz, which handles 17 percent of the global trade in oil, according to AKE Group, an adviser to insurers. The tankers will be targeted because they generate the most ransom, he said. A secondhand supertanker is worth about $82 million and a cargo of 2 million barrels of oil about $200 million.
SOUTH CHINA SEA (aka “East Sea”, “West Philippine Sea”, “Southeast Asia Sea”, etc…)
Arutz Sheva (Israel National News), June 13, 2011
Analyzing the recent events in the East Sea, the public has had to raise a question: Whether Beijing is using Sun Tzu’s “Art of War”, to intentionally turn the impossibility into possibility, undisputed areas into disputed areas in order to claim natural resources in the continental shelf and the exclusive economic zone of its neighbors, through the formula “putting aside disputes to exploring the sea together”.

CHINA-UNITED STATES / AMERICAS
Is Beijing compounding fiscal dilemmas within the US, forcing it to spend increasingly scarce resources on defense assets and diverting them from other more productive uses? The success of such a Cold War redux strategy - if it exists - would ultimately depend on whether the US will surrender the initiative to China.
