520    "Out in the Pacific Ocean, there is a war taking place. It
       is a 'warm war,' a shoving match between the United States,
       since WWII the uncontested ruler of the seas, and China, 
       which now possesses the world's largest navy. The Chinese 
       regard the Pacific, and especially the South China Sea, as
       their ocean, and they're ready to defend it. Each day the 
       heat between the two countries increases as the Chinese 
       try to claim the South China Sea for their own, and the 
       United States insists on asserting freedom of navigation. 
       Throughout Southern Asia, countries such as Vietnam, 
       Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and South Korea 
       respond with outrage and growing fear as China turns coral
       reefs into manmade islands capable of supporting airstrips
       and then attempts to enforce twelve-mile-radius, shoot-
       down zones. The immediate danger is that the five trillion
       dollars in international trade that passes through the 
       area will grind to a standstill. The ultimate danger is 
       that the US and China will be drawn into all-out war." --
