    EXPLAINER: A spate of Chinese military flights off southwestern Taiwan has prompted alarm from the island, which Beijing claims as its own, and is increasing tensions in a region already on edge. The flights are just one piece of a complex puzzle in Asia.http://apne.ws/ASJA5zp

        Typical sabre rattling from the Chinese to divert attention away from their economic woes. Any serious intentions would have a serious back lash on the Chinese economy more so than on the US/World economy.

        أدت سلسلة من #الطلعات_الجوية_العسكرية_الصينية قبالة جنوب غرب #تايوان إلى إثارة القلق من الجزيرة ، التي تدعي #بكين أنها تابعة لها ، مما أدى إلى زيادة التوترات في منطقة على حافة الهاوية بالفعل. والطلعات الجوية هي مجرد حلقة واحدة من اللغز المعقد في #آسيا.
