Well, now. what's happening down there, west of the Phillipines, east of Vietnam, north of Borneo. Seems like the Chinese government is continuing its aggressive policies in the maritime setting that has stirred nationalistic sentiments in the recent past. This comes as the Beijing Communists insist that the South China Sea is actually an extension of the sovereign territory of the mainland government. Hmmmm. Most recently, Beijing has ordered ships into the area of low lying reefs where these vessels drop anchor. They are found to "cluster" together in "reefs" of ships: congregating over these rocks creating in essence another 'island', if you will. Hence, they give the impression(seen in aerial photos) that there's some spot available to anchor. In response to the question(s)"what are you doing there?", Beijing responds with the dubious claim that these fishing vessels are operating in home waters. This claim has been refuted by various international bodies which in turn have given truth to the Communist lies. In other words, its business as usual for the Chinese in their various efforts to expand influence around the globe, like their brothers in the Kremlin who seek deliverance from the world view that they are , in fact, second rate countries inept in global moves, and unable to construct a reasonable domestic environment for citizens of their nations.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
