Major Step for Lasting Peace in the South China Sea Has Been Reached

China and the 10-member ASEAN bloc have finally agreed on the “rough outline” of the legally binding Code of Conduct that is seen as a major step to prevent clashes in the highly strategic South China Sea. The COC is expected to be signed when the ASEAN returns to the Philippines for their final summit for this year.

The Philippines welcomed the finalization of the draft of the framework. It contains elements that the parties agreed upon and will be presented to Chinese and ASEAN foreign ministers in August for consideration, the statement from the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs said.
Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Permanent Secretary Chee Wee Kiong said the sides hoped that would produce needed “political support” from the ministers.

The Philippine foreign affairs and its Chinese counterparts have also commenced the talks on peacefully resolving the Spratly Group of Islands dispute today.




Since all sides of the conflict have shown their genuine desire to reach an amicable settlement, there’s reason for optimism that one could be signed by the end of the year.
It is in this context that China announced its successful extraction of the more environmentally friendly combustible ice in the South China Sea, yesterday.
With the installation of substantial military equipments in the region, it’s not so hard to see that China is more than ready to confront any outsider intruding into the economic affairs of Asians.
This has been underscored when a…

“US aircraft that specializes in detecting radioactive debris after a nuclear detonation was intercepted by two Chinese fighter aircraft in international airspace near the Korean peninsula.

Two Chinese Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets came within 150 feet of a US Air Force WC-135 Constant Phoenix aircraft while it was flying in international airspace above the East China Sea on Wednesday, officials told CNN.
Officials told NBC News that the crew of the Constant Phoenix described the confrontation as “unprofessional.” The US crew said they were acting in full accordance with international law.
Officials reportedly did not address whether the Chinese maneuver was unsafe.
The issue is being addressed with China through appropriate diplomatic and military channels,” Air Force spokeswoman Lieutenant Colonel Lori Hodge told Reuters. “

The Deep State run media can sow intrigue all they want,

Experts say China wants to appear to engage ASEAN or bind its claimant states to a weak code at a time when U.S. policy on the South China Sea is in a state of flux.
One ASEAN diplomat said the latest draft did not mention any dispute settlement mechanism or sanctions for violations, but focused mostly on managing tension and building trust.

… but when fellow Asians are talking amongst themselves, only good could come out of it.

“We are very realistic and practical. We wanted first to pick the low hanging fruit.
If we went straight to the contentious issues, we would not get to where we are now.”




Their shared experiences during the Second World War and onwards, when they tried to annihilate each other in some West-instigated conflicts should put them all in the right perspective.

  1. “Wonderful Life” – GCR/RV Intel SITREP – Friday – May 19, 2017
    [https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P_qz_pgf_xY/WR8LZB_66oI/AAAAAAAAO-8/8hkicS__JTINwXe9_gVHrCeFImu0If2tgCLcB/s320/image1%2B%25281%2529.jpeg]
    It’s been a Wonderful Life… for the .0000001% elites of the world. But for us common folk, it’s been one hell of a hard, excruciating struggle.
    That changes forever this weekend as the meek finally inherit the earth. There’s no other way to explain it.
    Sobeit.
    800#s were changed out again and re-released to intermediaries Thursday evening just before midnight.
    We were hopeful this was our release time. We believe it’s setting up a Friday or Saturday midnight release, but can come any time starting today 6pm EDT.
    We were told Trump had left the country Thursday morning very early. That was a pump fake. He leaves today for Saudi Arabia in full public view.
    That is important as the President must be out of the country for GESARA to implement. Safety reasons.
    When the Trump traveling circus returns next week, he’ll publicly resign (privately he already has) as will Mike Pence–both due to Russian election interference cover up knowledge or obstruction of justice.
    The Republic will be restored with Paul Ryan as President and Ben Sasse as Vice President on July 4th weekend. Yes, Ryan has been alreisent is the Republic since October 29, 2015 and the entire 2016 election was a psy-op to catch more hidden cabal agents.
    Biggest emotional bang for the buck will be on a patriotic holiday we are told, and once again America will celebrate their Republic with Chinese fireworks–just like we did in 1776–because the Elders have yet again saved our sovereign bacon.
    All 209 nations participating in the Paris Agreement Treaty are now under the same compliance requirements as is the US Republic.
    New military, government, diplomacy and financial guidelines have been set in stone and must be adhered to per each nation’s own international treaty signature.
    Non compliance given the vast wealth coming online is viewed as national suicide. So everyone is on board.
    New government structures and leaders are now in place in Israel and Palestine, Saudi Arabia and Italy. All the places Trump is visiting and not by coincidence btw–to hold all new leaders, and old, in check during the actual RV week.
    There has been no delay from the Chinese point of view. They are right on schedule and waited for France to complete its election and inauguration process.
    From an American point of view, all the “stops and starts” were annoying and misleading, intentionally so, but deemed necessary to root out the last toxic deep state cabal agents buried within our “democracy.”
    Democracy. What a joke.
    Funds worldwide have been cleared for transfer in appropriate and infinite amounts anywhere in the world–with block chain algorithms governing and tracking money flow worldwide–complete transparency now, absolutely nowhere on earth to hide money anymore.
    Do no harm is the only rule by which we all must follow without exception.
    T4 & T5 currency holders will get what they are owed now, with new rates on a new safe and secure monetary system.
    Making NDA’s silly unless you go into a private contract for a structured payout program–as most to all will with ZIM.
    And yes T4 redemptions will now begin sometime over the weekend after the markets close.
    So we are told and for real this time.
    Last weekend an elaborate dress rehearsal was preformed to big prep staff for this weekend and drain the swamp one last time.
    The look and feel of the RV was exactly the way it will be this weekend, even had the same urgency and release Intel for the 800#s as they will come out.
    Ingenious planning actually. All in the name of preparation I suppose. Well played, Fighting Joe.
    This includes currency redeemers, as the military and HSBC did a final evaluation of how many currency holders were actually paying attention given a real “go” situation.
    We’re collectively less than 10,000, but just from those early adapters, 10 million are expected to be contacted with 800#s in the first 24 hours. Of those, half are expected to set appointments and redeem in the first 72 hours.
    The NPTB know exactly what to expect now heading into the RV weekend after the dress rehearsal last weekend–right down to the individual anonymous blog handles that pass out false information.
    Potential security threats and cabal operatives attempting to interfere or redeem will be re-routed by alternative military call agents based on their cell phone numbers and cell tower locations.
    The goal is to keep the oil and vinegar separated before the exchange appointment is even made.
    That’s why they “chalked” us all before we call in, as to keep bad apples away from the good to avoid any kind of potential negative public confrontation.
    Not a good reality if you’re a cabal agent trying to restock the money pond for “the family.” BTW: They’re all going to military jails. All of them.
    Low rate preachers will not be redeeming at higher sovereign rates because they won’t be redeeming at all. Yup, that just happened.
    The NPTB know who has spread false rumor, created false websites, done false conference calls and also who their cabal handlers are, where they are and whom and where their central cabal command generals are.
    It’s just not that hard to track phone numbers and server / routers these days, then match up from where to whom bad intel begins and ultimately is released.
    So careful .03 ZIM and. .04 VND prognosticators and six zero lop, no sovereign rate scam artists… pay back is a bitch and judgement long been cast.
    The NPTB have been very closely watching this community for several years, making detailed notes and recording nefarious activity.
    They’ve drilled down who was truly helping or dangerously hurting the redemption process–worldwide.
    So which were you? Good or bad? Light or dark? Abundance or scarcity? Love or fear? God or not God? As the choice was 100% yours.
    God is with us.
