United States talking to Turnbull government about stepping up presence of B-1 Bomber war planes in Australia
General Lori Robinson, Commander of the US Pacific Air Forces, said in Canberra on 8/3 that with China's "militarisation" of the South China Sea, the US and its partners had to "maintain a credible combat power".
She said China's military build-up raised the risk of "miscalculation" in which conflict is sparked by some unexpected incident.
Meanwhile, US Republican hopeful Donald Trump seems to take advantage of the Chinese card, "I think you have to do something to rein in China. They devalued their currency today. Theyre making it absolutely impossible for the United States to compete, and nobody does anything."
