I Love South Korea

So China is trying to get their hands on S. Korea.

With the US asking to pay more for security personnel in S. Korea, China sign a "defense agreement" with S. Korea to stick their noses at the West.

A recent survey by the Korea Institute for National Reunification showed that 96% of Koreans are opposed to Seoul paying more for the US military presence.


But calling this a "defense agreement" is like calling a glass of water the Pacific Ocean. All China is doing so far from what I know is installing a few phone lines and other minor things.

We may never know what might happen down the line but not exactly the way I want Korea to be unified.

Sort of on a related subject, I came across this https://news.yahoo.com/u-vietnam-coast-guard-ship-080244155.html And yes, it has to do with China and its declaration of sovereignty over certain oceans.

@soar2newhighs China is doing a modern version of conquering hahaha
@SW-User Well, they DID take some shoals the Philippines claimed sovereignty over, but other than that, they're simply flexing their muscles, going on with rhetoric and seeing how far they can push the envelope.

@soar2newhighs You're pretty knowledgeable. That's awesome. Do you read on news outside the US for fun hahahaa
@SW-User Being I served in both South Korea and Taiwan, I am interested in what is going on in those countries. If I see something such as your post on South Korea and China, I tend to follow it, and the same with various news items I see on the Internet. Something I remember and this is going back a good 20 years or so, was reading an extensive article on the ascending Chinese military. I have also read a number of books relating to that as well, and I find it interesting and somewhat frightening. One book I read was not about China's military as much as it is about their involvement in Africa, though they are having some impact in Africa when it comes to military matters. https://www.amazon.com/Chinas-Second-Continent-Migrants-Building/dp/0307956989
