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.
Rachel McMarr、米太平洋艦隊広報官がUSNI
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.
文章全体がZeroHedge特有の皮肉で満ちています。 Global Earnings Downgrades At Highest Level In 10 Years by Tyler Durden Thu, 01/10/2019 - 16:45 As stock markets plunged in December, asset-gatherers and commission-takers (and politicians) rushed on to every media outlet to reassure everyone that the fundamentals are "solid", "extremely strong", "very positive" ... pick your spin. The only problem is that top-down, the fundamentals are dismally disappointing... １２月の株式急落で、株式を買い集めている人、手数料狙いの人（そして政治家）はメディアに出ずっぱりで誰もにこう訴えた、ファンダメンタルズは「健全」、「とても強い」、「とてもポジティブ」・・・みなさんもこれに振り回された。唯一の問題はこれらは上意下達であることだ、実際のファンダメンタルズは悲しいかな失望するものだ・・・・ And bottom-up, the fundamentals are almost as bad as they have ever been as analysts take the ax to their outlooks... the number of analysts’ global earnings downgrades exceeded upgrades by the most since 2...
米国はよく理解してませんが、日本の場合では量的緩和で日銀が国債買い上げした資金は日銀当座預金にそのままです、市中には流れていません。でもNHKのニュース等では「ジャブジャブ」という表現をアナウンサーが使い、さらに丁寧に水道の蛇口からお金が吐き出される画像まで示してくれます。これって心理効果が大きいですよね。量的緩和とは何かを７時のニュースや新聞でこれ以上丁寧に解説するのはそう簡単ではありません。一般の人も株式をやっている人も「イメージ」で捉える以上はそう簡単にできません。多くの人は量的緩和とはなにか、を理解していないと私は想像しています。 ただし、国債を買い上げるので長期金利が低下し住宅ローン金利等が下がったのは確実な効果です。一方で長短金利差が少なくなると銀行のビジネスモデルが成り立たなくなりますが。 This Is The One Chart Every Trader Should Have "Taped To Their Screen" by Tyler Durden Sat, 01/19/2019 - 18:55 After a year of tapering, the Fed’s balance sheet finally captured the market’s attention during the last three months of 2018. 一年間のテーパリング後、FEDバランスシートがとうとう市場の注目をあびることになった、２０１８年の最後の３ヶ月だ。 By the start of the fourth quarter, the Fed had finished raising the caps on monthly roll-off of its balance sheet to the full $50bn per month (peaking at $30bn USTs, $20bn MBS...
