"work together to strengthen dialogue and communication, advance maritime cooperation and joint development to maintain peace and stability on the South China Sea".Reply
If the above statement is used to resolve all the maritime dispute - then confrontation, conflict and tension in Asia Pacific region will not arise.
The standings of all disputed countries in the eyes of International Community and the respect will be high as members of responsible members of International Community.

(1) Eg. of joint development can be :-
Setup joint venture company where both countries' company representatives have agreed allocated no. of shares. Any joint development work can be undertaken by the joint venture company and any profit can be shared by both countries' company representatives.
(2) Eg. of advanced maritime cooperation is to demarcate the sea boundaries around the island where both countries will have a clear boundary which part of the sea area belong to who - without ambiguity.
(3) Eg. of work together to strengthen dialogue and communication - is to set up working committee to monitor the joint development work and iron out issues that may arise - du to maritime patrol or development work.
If disputed parties are willing to adopt "give-and-take", "win-win" outcomes - than the whole Asia Pacific region - will be a bright spot of cooperation, growth, progress, prosperity - and not daily events of tension, conflict, jostling, quarallel, flight and naval maneouver, ship collision and water-cannon party..
Then regional meetings will mainly be focused on economic development, regional cooperation for business, trade, travel and growth - instead of trading accusation, sabre-rattling and blickering of how to wriggle some rocks, some islands, some resources or wriggling of influence, or wriggling of outmaneouvre for exertion of power.
Influence and Power come from cooperaton, mutual benefit and mutual trust - where member countries willingly welcome the Influence.
Power and Influence will not come from negative actions. In fact, it will bring about negative outcomes.

China current internal problems are more than that.
(1) Economic reform - from growth through external trade to internal consumption, overflooding of graduates but not enough jobs etc.
(2) Cleaning up corruption within the Party
(3) Ethnic strife from Uighur separatists
(4) Environmental issue - specifically smog, polluted land and water
(5) Local dissent for more freedom
etc
that are causing tension to the Party. - ricky l • Remove
Actually, if China concentrate on bringing about win-win settlement of the territorial dispute by focusing on the mutual benefits gain from the settlement will earn more positive attention at home.
Eg. Malaysia successful broking of peace deal between Philippine Government and Islamist group has earn Malaysia accolades at home.
Malaysia successful settlement of some outcrops rocks with Singapore - has lead to many sweeten deals such as Iskandar joint investment, RTM railway station joint development in some prized land in Singapore - which subsequently lead to many joint venture projects - has help Malaysia Ruling Party to score points at home.
So if China re-focus international efforts by resorting to win-win settlement of the territorial disputes with disputant Countries - will in fact help to score points in the domestic politics rather than adopting antagonist approach that will bring more negative outcome to their own people. For eg. China have to send ships to pull back few thousands of their workers and businessmen back home - and they lose their jobs and business.
When Chinese people protest at home against the Japanese - many offices are invaded, property are damaged and local people lose their jobs when the Japanese firms pull out. - ricky l • Remove
Sorry at this advanced stage - where guns are brandished and blood will soon be shed -- the messages need to be blunt and straight to the point.

But many years back, when advised is given to open up the Country adopting market economy rather than planned economy that cause Economic inertia - it is also contrary to the mainstream thinking within China.
In fact the worried is :- 窗口一打开，蚊子苍蝇都会跑进来.
But Chinese trust the Chinese, Hakka trust the Hakka - China Economy fly without turning back.

Law must be effective to ensure justice, fairness and equality regardless of men or women, old or young, able or disable, rich or poor - to ensure an orderly and safe society.
Enforcement of law must be effective - to ensure people think twice before committing a crime that endanger the lives of anyone in a society.
Crime must be duly punished and sentence duly serve - to ensure repentance.
Punishment must be just and commensurate with the weight of the crime to serve as deterrent, but not overdone.
Punishment must also not be too lenient - to embolden crimes.
Only then, a Society can provide a safe environment for people to live, work and dwell in peace, harmony and prosperity.

No one take issue if there are contest in territorial claims.
It happen to many countries all over the world.
The issue is how such claims are to be resolved.
By peaceful means or by intimidation, coercion or by force.
If dispute are settled through peaceful means - like Indonesia and Philipines, like Singapore and Malaysia - it will win respect by the International Community for being a responsible and mature member of the International Community.
If dispute are to be settled by force or violent means - it will be condemn by the International Community for being irresponsible, immature - for causing tension in the region, disrupting trade, cause huge economic loss, cause casaulties, death, property and infrastructure damaged and cause untold suffering and miseries - not only between the 2 disputed parties - but to the larger International Community as a whole.
Justice, Fairness and Equality - is not only the Wholesome principles in a Country or Society but also between members of International Community.
ricky l • Remove
Let us re-examine how Indonesia and Philippines resolve their maritime dispute :-
It is Both Parties willingness to adopt a "Give-And-Take" attitude, the willingness to go for "Win-Win" solutions - whereby both sides are willing to give in something and take back something - that bring about such exemplary model for resolving International Disputes - without resorting to tension, confrontation and conflict.
This is a model of responsible, adult, rational ways of resolving International Dispute and a member of International World Community.
Only if both sides adopt such mindsets can both sides achieve Wholesome resolution without tension.
Indonesia and Philippines has thus able to use Wholesome Resolution (1) to come to a good outcome to resolve their maritime dispute.
And to recap what are the 3 Wholesome Resolution methods with the "Neighbor Dispute Analogy" :-
Wholesome, peaceful and responsible ways to resolve the “territorial dispute” :-
(1) direct talk and negotiate in a peaceful manner to resolve the dispute (through give-and-take attitude, through sweeten deals by incorporating other economic deals to resolve the territorial claim)
(2) call a 3rd party – eg. Police, counsellor or someone where both can trust to settle the dispute in a rational, logical and adult manner – with “give and take attitude”.
(3) Both neighbors subject themselves to Court Arbitration process – by producing documents to support their claim and honour the Court Judgement. This measure is undertaken by Singapore and Malaysia claim on 5 outcrop rocks follow by sweeten deals by incorporating other economic deals to resolve the territorial claim.
One more time :- CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! for the peaceful resolution of Indonesia and Philippines maritime disput and the Singapore and Malaysia 5 outcrop rocks claim.
And not :-
Unwholesome ways to resolve the “territorial dispute” :-
(1) Quarrel and argue loudly – and this will disturb the neighborhood
(2) Fight it out – and start throwing things at one another – and hurt other neighbors or passerby with flying objects
(3) Call their family members, friends, relatives to outnumber one another in a big fight – and other neighbors and passerby also caught in the big fight and got injured
(4) Use weapons such as iron bar, knives or even guns to shoot at one another or even throw firebombs at one another– and other neighbors and passerby also get injured or even kick the buckets and both the houses got burned down.
This disturb the peace of whole Asia-Pacific region - and affect the interest of all the countries within the whole Asia-Pacific region.

Eg. in a street where 2 car collide and the owners of the 2 cars settle their dispute in an adult and responsible manner by doing all the paper work to submit to their insurance companies and car workshop peacefully - and parking their vehicles at the side of the road and not blocking the flowing traffic - then everyone will applaud and praise them.
However, if the 2 owners settle their dispute by arguing loudly, by refusing to move their cars to the side of the road and cause a massive traffic jam and worst start to take out their umbrella or iron bar and start hitting at one another cars or start to hit one another - then everyone will condemn their irresponsible acts and will summon police to arrest both of the 2 owners - for disrupting public disorder, cause damages to other people's car when they start fighting or worst injuring other road users.

Eg. if our 2 kids share their sweets and toys with one another, then the Parents will clap, clap, clap and will praise the 2 kids for being sensible, responsible and good kids - who have learn the wholesome values of "share-share", "give-and-take" and know how to "work together and play together" in a cooperative manner.
However, if our 2 kids fight over the toys, snatch one another's sweet and refuse to share their sweets - wail and cry, fight with one another, pull one another's hairs, scratch one another and give one another blue black eyes - where both suffer from panda eyes - then the Parents will bring out the cane - and spank both backsides for manifesting their 3 inherent unwholesome roots of "Ignorance of Universal Law, Greed/Attachment and Hatred/Anger".

Except in Parallel Universe, the person (normally the meditator) - must know how to come back from the realms he has entered into ----- normally by rebalancing the consciousness (of that particular realm) back into consciousness of human realm - before he can come back and re-enter into human realm - so that he can move his body like human being.
But when he is back from Parallel Universe, the remnant consciousness of the realm(s) that he has entered into will still linger on his mind, heart and his body - and it will take a long duration before the consciousness wear off. During this period, visions, insights will be like a running videos that transmit through his mind and heart.

Obama seeks to recast postwar foreign policy

President Obama leadership in foreign affairs demonstrate that US can be a World Leader by getting Countries around the World to support the wholesome cause - for Peace, Justice, Fairness - in International relationship, World Trade, Business, Investment etc - without the needs to blaze the guns, seek immediate results whereby it could be more destructive than wholesome ways of resolving difficult issues. Sometimes, deterrent measures will be more effective.
For eg. :-
(1) Iran nuclear issue - able to get support from EUs, China, Russia to coax Iran into constructive dialogue and some deterrence provide a more wholesome outcome thant sabre-rattling war machines that threaten to erupt war in Middle East - that will threaten Oil Supply and hurt World Trade.
Gun blazing will bring a very bad outcome and turn the Middle East into a red hotspot.
(2) Syria chemical issue - getting support from UN Security Council endorsement to coax Syria to eradicate chemical weapons without committing military actions and without firing a single shot - that will be very costly.
Syria internal conflict is a very complicated affair - as there are Russia and Iran support for the incumbent, Saudi and other Middle East Countries support for the moderate rebels and the most contentious one are the extremists that fight both the incumbent and the rebels.
Military actions will have unintended consequences and may bring about complicated outcomes.
(3) US engagement and continuous strategic dialogue with China - will has a stabilising outcome in Asia Pacific region - and avoid a "Clash of the Titans". It also reduce the risk of military action in Korean Peninsula as positive engagement with China will have a cushioning effect on Korea nuclear risk.
In addition, East China Sea and South China Sea dispute - will allow US to engage China more rationally and more cool-headedly - with less "locking horn" militarily - which will in some sense help to cool temperatures if tension rises.
US will also able to soothe her Alliances when tension rises.
(4) US handling of Ukraine issue is also more rational, more even handed and less emotional - and this has help to relieve and prevent tension from escalating - that would have turn East Europe into the Cold War confrontation - between the Nato bloc and the Russian bloc - that may trigger something mammoth - with WW2 and WW1 as reminder of massive human sufferings.
Imagine if US and Nato Bloc take a more confrontational approach with gun blazing - then I shudder to think the World could be facing an imminent WW3 with nuclear war - as a likely outcome.

(2) East Europe hotspot - a link of US, EU, Ukraine vs Russia
(3) Asia Pacific hotspot - a link of US, Japan, Philippines, Vietnam vs China. US, S Korea vs N Korea.
President Obama and His Administration has to date handle the foreign affairs delicately, constructively and has bring about many wholesome outcoms ---- vis-a-vis if US take a more confrontational approach in all the above events ----- what do think the World will be facing now?
The World could be facing a WW3 scenario - with nuclear warhead pointing at one another in a firing position - where for the 1st time - Human Civilisation could be facing the real threat of extinction.
The intuition vision many years ago - has 3 loud bangs that end the World - the like of nuclear weapons. It could have unfold this year 2014. But the World seems to have averted this crisis, at least postpone to very much later - hopefully.
But somehow - human civilisation do end with very big explosion - not sure through nuclear weapons, or a big asteriod hit the Earth or Earth suck into a Black Hole causing very big explosion.
Hopefully at least 3 more generations down the road, Human will not witness this !!!

For eg. :-
(1) Iran nuclear issue - able to get support from EUs, China, Russia to coax Iran into constructive dialogue and some deterrence provide a more wholesome outcome thant sabre-rattling war machines that threaten to erupt war in Middle East - that will threaten Oil Supply and hurt World Trade.
Gun blazing will bring a very bad outcome and turn the Middle East into a red hotspot.
Syria internal conflict is a very complicated affair - as there are Russia and Iran support for the incumbent, Saudi and other Middle East Countries support for the moderate rebels and the most contentious one are the extremists that fight both the incumbent and the rebels.
Military actions will have unintended consequences and may bring about complicated outcomes.
(3) US engagement and continuous strategic dialogue with China - will has a stabilising outcome in Asia Pacific region - and avoid a "Clash of the Titans". It also reduce the risk of military action in Korean Peninsula as positive engagement with China will have a cushioning effect on Korea nuclear risk.
In addition, East China Sea and South China Sea dispute - will allow US to engage China more rationally and more cool-headedly - with less "locking horn" militarily - which will in some sense help to cool temperatures if tension rises.
US will also able to soothe her Alliances when tension rises.
(4) US handling of Ukraine issue is also more rational, more even handed and less emotional - and this has help to relieve and prevent tension from escalating - that would have turn East Europe into the Cold War confrontation - between the Nato bloc and the Russian bloc - that may trigger something mammoth - with WW2 and WW1 as reminder of massive human sufferings.
Imagine if US and Nato Bloc take a more confrontational approach with gun blazing - then I shudder to think the World could be facing an imminent WW3 with nuclear war - as a likely outcome.

(1) Middle East hotspots - a link of US, EU, Middle East Countries vs Russia, Syria, Iran
(2) East Europe hotspot - a link of US, EU, Ukraine vs Russia
(3) Asia Pacific hotspot - a link of US, Japan, Philippines, Vietnam vs China. US, S Korea vs N Korea.
President Obama and His Administration has to date handle the foreign affairs delicately, constructively and has bring about many wholesome outcoms ---- vis-a-vis if US take a more confrontational approach in all the above events ----- what do think the World will be facing now?
The World could be facing a WW3 scenario - with nuclear warhead pointing at one another in a firing position - where for the 1st time - Human Civilisation could be facing the real threat of extinction.
