Temperature Rising In The South China Sea

Click here for an article at AP News, by Christopher Bodeen, entitled "Report: Beijing adds weapons to South China Sea islands." The article says:

China appears to have installed anti-aircraft and anti-missile weapons on its man-made islands in the strategically vital South China Sea, a U.S. security think tank says, upping the stakes in what many see as a potential Asian powder keg.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies, or CSIS, said in a report late Wednesday that the anti-aircraft guns and close-in weapons systems designed to guard against missile attack have been placed on all seven of China's newly created islands.

Lovely. Just what we need -- things heating up in the South China Sea as the clueless president-elect blunders around tweeting random nonsense affecting relations with China.
