A U.S. Admiral’s Bluntness Rattles China, and Washington - NYTimes.com

Note the nasty, brutish racism of China's official mouthpiece Xinhua, in speaking of Admiral Harris' Japanese mother. 
He speaks clearheaded, blunt words about China's expansionism in the South China Seas. 
Some grinds say the Australia should not get involved in supporting US pushback to China. I don't agree. Now, more than any time post war, we need to counter China's naked hegemony.

HONOLULU — He has called China "provocative and expansionist," accusing it of "creating a Great Wall of sand" and "clearly militarizing" the disputed waters of the Western Pacific. "You'd have to believe in a flat earth to think otherwise," he said in one appearance before Congress.
