A
Chinese senior military official has declared that Beijing should
prepare to attack United States naval vessels, should the US violate
Chinese "territorial waters," according to Taiwan News.
Speaking from a Saturday conference in Beijing, Dai Xu - President
of the Institute of Marine Safety and Cooperation, and a PLA Air Force
Colonel Commandant, reportedly said:
北京の土曜の会議で、Dai XuーーPresident of the Institute of Marine Safety and Cooperation、そしてPLA Air Force Colonel Commandant、がこう述べたと言われる:
"If the U.S. warships break into Chinese waters again, I suggest that
two warships should be sent: one to stop it, and another one to ram it…
In our territorial waters, we won't allow US warships to create
disturbance."
Xu was referring to the frequent Freedom of Navigation Operations
(FONOPs) conducted by the United States in the South China Sea - the
most recent of which saw two US military vessels through the region for
four days - a passage which was later confirmed by the Pentagon.
An Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer and a Henry
Kaiser-class fleet replenishment oiler sailed through the Taiwan Strait
Wednesday, in what the Navy called a routine transit.

“USS Stockdale (DDG-106) and USNS Pecos (T-AO-197)
conducted a routine Taiwan Strait Transit on Nov. 28 (local time), in
accordance with international law,” Lt. j.g. Rachel McMarr, a U.S.
Pacific Fleet spokesperson, told USNI News in an email. “The ships’ transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. The U.S. Navy will continue to fly, sail and operate anywhere international law allows.” -USNI News
「
USS StockdaleとUSNS Pecosが通常の台湾海峡通過訓練を11月28日におこなった、国際法に則る行動だった、」Lt.j.g.

Newsに伝えた。「艦船の台湾海峡通過は米国の主張する開かれたインド太平洋作戦を示すものだ。米国海軍は引き続き国際法上で許された場所を飛行、航行する。」ーUSNI

Xu also suggested that a South China Sea conflict may push China towards targeting Taiwan and force reunification.
南シナ海の混乱が中国の台湾軍事侵攻を推し進めるかもしれない、とXuは示唆する。
"It would boost the speed of our unification of Taiwan… Let's just be prepared and wait. Once a strategic opportunity emerges, we should be ready to take over Taiwan," he said.
C&I Loans Enter The Danger Zone by Tyler Durden Thu, 03/14/2019 - 15:55 Authored by Jesse Colombo via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, Commercial and industrial (C&I) loan activity is watched closely by economists to gauge the strength of the economy and estimate where we are in the business cycle. C&I loans are used to finance capital expenditures or increase the borrower’s working capital. The C&I loan cycle often takes up to a couple of years to turn positive after a recession, but provides even more confirmation that an economic expansion is underway. For example, the U.S. Great Recession officially ended in June 2009, but the C&I loan cycle didn’t turn positive until late-2010. C&I loans also help to wa...
