South China Sea, two opposing views from Philipines on the U.S. Asia ‘pivot’

January 28, 2012 by YinYang 121 Comments

There has been a lot of coverage in the U.S. media lately about America's Asia 'pivot.' In particular, U.S. seems to be taking sides with Vietnam and Philippines in their disputes with China.

Today also happened to be the day before new year (除夕)in the lunar calendar. I would like to wish everybody a happy, healthy and prosperous dragon year.
