A transcript-matched topic anchored by excerpts such as "...kinetic, meaning they will fight over shipping lanes in the South China Sea."
Jiang identifies China-Japan-Philippines maritime delimitation as a real conflict track worth watching and predicts that China and Japan will eventually go kinetic over South China Sea shipping lanes.
Jiang does not think Taiwan is the immediate flashpoint; Chinese overfishing in the South China Sea may bring China into conflict with neighbors who arrest Chinese fishermen.
For Japan, control of seas in the South China Sea is a matter of life and death; for China, Jiang says retreating behind borders is always available.
Jiang says Japan's strategic priority will be reasserting naval supremacy around the South China Sea, Strait of Malacca, and Taiwan Strait to protect imports.
Jiang says China's South China Sea posture is strategically conservative because an American first-island-chain blockade could choke the food and oil imports that sustain the Chinese economy.
Jiang says China also needs to prepare for a future Japanese naval challenge in Southeast Asia after an American retreat, because Japan would be more dangerous there than a trade-oriented United States.
Jiang says American policymakers appear unable to plan strategically, but he interprets the new defense priorities as a signal to China that the United States wants to negotiate rather than trigger a South China Sea conflict.
Jiang cites a rumored Pentagon priorities plan calling for removal of U.S. forces from Southeast Asia and a homeland focus in order to avoid accidental confrontation with China in the South China Sea.
