The fat kid always woofs. More interesting, by far, is China's silence.

China, surprisingly has made statements on the matter. The major networks don't seem to be reporting on it.

The point I have been making today is China's silence since the Carl Vinson announced its surprise return visit. They were not shy about noting its presence and the joint drills just a couple of weeks ago.

This silence feels significant.
