We all know that, so what did he hear?
"While trip avoids Beijing, Obama keeps eye on China" by Mark Landler | New York Times April 27, 2014
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — On every stop of his Asian journey in the past week, President Obama has spoken to two audiences: America’s allies and China. The balancing act has become even more delicate because of the sharp deterioration in the United States’ relations with Russia.
Yeah, China is and will be siding with them.
Perhaps no country has more to gain from a new Cold War than China, which has historically benefited from periods of conflict between the United States and Russia and, analysts say, could exploit these latest tensions to lean even harder on its neighbors in the region.
Nixon nailed detente and an opening in a daily double, and it is the U.S. stirring up trouble and trying to exploit anything it can to get a war going.
Of course, the article comes from the New York Times so the war-promoting propaganda and distortion is completely understandable!
As Obama has traveled from Japan to South Korea and, now, Malaysia, he has delivered a carefully calibrated message to reassure America’s friends of its support while discouraging the Chinese from any thoughts of opening a second front on the Pacific Rim.
How did he get to Malaysia? Big old jet airliner?
In Tokyo on Thursday, Obama vowed to defend Japan in a territorial dispute with China, but urged the Japanese to show restraint and insisted that he wanted solid relations with Beijing. The next day in Seoul, the South Korean capital, he pledged to defend South Korea from the renegade North, a Chinese ally, but went out of his way to enlist Beijing in that effort.
“We’re not interested in containing China,” Obama said, even as he embarked on what some experts said could be portrayed as a “containment tour,” visiting four countries that worry about Chinese expansionism while skipping Beijing itself.
Is he delusional, not listening to himself, reading script, or just a fabulous liar?
“We’re interested in China’s peaceful rise and it being a responsible and powerful proponent of the rule of law,” he insisted. But he added, “In that role, it has to abide by certain norms.”
Says the most lawless regime on the face of the planet, from drone strikes to torture and treaties. So much chutzpah from the man proves there are too many Zionist Jews staffing the government. Obama's osmosis.
The president laid out a vivid case for why China should not mimic Russia’s adventurism. The escalating sanctions against Russia over its threats to Ukraine, he said, will weaken an economy facing deep challenges because of its reliance on oil and gas.
He's going to sanction China when they are holding all those treasuries and all the manufacturing plants for cheap U.S. goods are over there? He really wants to kill this economy for a piece of ink and paper.
The portrait Obama painted of Russia was withering.

You need to turn it right-side up.
Speaking in Tokyo, he said that Russia “needs to diversify its economy, because the rest of the world is moving further and further off the fossil fuels that are the primary way that Russia is able to bankroll itself.”
Was Obama drunk or something when he made the speech? What do you think the U.S. military is running on?
By playing up Russia’s weaknesses and predicting that they will worsen because of President Vladimir Putin’s aggression, Obama seemed to be saying to Chinese officials who might be contemplating closer ties with Moscow: Stick with a winning team.
That's why they are hooking up with Russia, moron!
Not only is the one-sided "journali$m" offensive, it's also sickening.
“The message is: ‘Don’t think that what Putin is doing in Eastern Ukraine is so brilliant that you should be inspired by it. Don’t think that this is a model that could work for you,’ ” said Jeffrey A. Bader, who was the senior China adviser on the National Security Council until 2011.
Bader warned last week that a few poorly chosen phrases could turn Obama’s trip into a containment tour.
I just read them above.
But he said Obama had gotten the balance right in Japan and South Korea. The president robustly reaffirmed America’s support for its treaty allies while avoiding statements that would isolate or antagonize China.
So far, China’s reaction has been muted.
As opposed to Putin's aggression?
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a perfunctory objection to Obama’s assertion that the US security treaty with Japan obligates the United States to protect a clump of islands in the East China Sea that are administered by Japan but claimed by both Japan and China.
They are doing anything they can to get into a war!
It is the East CHINA Sea, right? Problem solved.
But it has been silent since then, much as it abstained from the debates in the United Nations over Russia’s actions in Crimea. China, some analysts said, is content not to pick a fight with the United States at a time when events, in Asia and elsewhere, seem to be going in its favor.
So BEWARE the FASLE FLAG, folks!
Leaders in Japan and South Korea said they were reassured by Obama’s words. But among experts in both countries, there was lingering uneasiness about the depth of American resolve.
“The wording of his statements was OK, but if you look at his demeanor and tone, he was very nuanced and trying not to get entangled in disputes with China,” said Narushige Michishita, an expert on security policy at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies in Tokyo.
Lee Geun, a professor of international studies at Seoul National University, said the situation in Ukraine raised inevitable questions. “What if North Korea tries something, or what if China tries to do something with North Korea?” he said. “Would the US come to South Korea’s defense?”

Nor are false flags!

Maybe someone needs to keep an eye on him!
Amazing. He is in Malaysia and not one word of the missing jetliner either yesterday or today.
Also see:
"China has changed its environment law for the first time in 25 years, instituting public oversight of companies and allowing unlimited fines against persistent polluters, a response to the country’s environmental challenges and demands from the public for action. Before, low fines for polluting gave firms little incentive to carry out costly modifications to cut pollutants. Now, if violators who are fined fail to rectify problems, fines can keep increasing to an unlimited amount. Executives in polluting companies could face up to 15 days of detention."
See that, Obummer? Think Wall Street banks!

Sorry I didn't take a closer look at those.
NEXT DAY UPDATE:
"China streaming ban
Chinese authorities have ordered video streaming websites in the country to stop showing four American television shows, including ‘‘The Big Bang Theory’’ and ‘‘The Good Wife,’’ representatives from two sites said Sunday. The move suggests government attention is intensifying on the online streaming industry, which is freer than state television and China’s cinemas to show foreign productions and other content and has stretched the boundaries of what can be seen in the country. A spokeswoman for a leading online video site, Youku, said it had received notification not to show ‘‘The Big Bang Theory,’’ ‘‘The Good Wife,’’ ‘‘NCIS,’’ and ‘‘The Practice.’’ (AP)."
Oddly enough, I never look at any of those shows either.
