For the second time in one week, China refused entry to one of the US's aircraft carriers, which had a pre-scheduled and approved docking time in Hong Kong. Dozens, if not hundreds of American family members had flown to Hong Kong to spend Thanksgiving with their military family members and were left with no explanation or reason why the ship was refused entry.
What is brewing with this increased cold shoulder from China? How is it tied to Russias increased hostility towards the USA? How is it tied to Iran?
Its all part and parcel, in my mind. Your thoughts?

It shows that China's government has yet to master the art of foreign policy.
The gave us permission, they changed their minds - then they changed their minds again. And by that time it was too late and we were not going to turn our ships around.
And in the end - the Chinese would up looking like they have no clue.

It means they have no command structure. This has been known for decades. Chances are the deal was struct by high command, but low command said no and then high command told the low command to say yes.
Of course constantly ticking the Chinese off doesn't help either.
Next time, stick with South Korea. Chances are they would have said yes and stuck with it.

It means that China, a sovereign nation, does want the military vessels of another sovereign nation, the US, in their ports/harbors.

Since the Chinese are holding over a trillion dollars of US debt they are showing us who is boss!
Europe is riding high economically and the US is sinking. We are no longer the biggest bully on the street.

China has no reason to confront the US, they already own us.
