You probably won't know this because the daft American newspapers don't report it, but the US is spending $billions to build up favour in Muslim Malaysia and Indonesia.
This largely unreported (In the west) spending is in the hope of gaining control of the straights of Malacca, the main route for Chinese oil from the middle east and south America.
All Chinese build up is there to counter the US military build up in areas where America has no defensive excuse to be there.
It's half way around the globe from the states, but next door to China.
America, as usual, is the culprit.
