Eyeing China, U.S. Expands Military Ties to Australia
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/17/world/asia/obama-and-gillard-expand-us-australia-military-ties.html?_r=1&hp

CANBERRA, Australia — President Obama and Prime Minister Julia Gillard of Australia announced plans on Wednesday for the first sustained American military presence in Australia, a relatively small deployment that is still a major symbol of American intentions to use regional alliances to counterbalance a rising China.

“With my visit to the region I am making it clear that the United States is stepping up its commitment to the entire Asia-Pacific region,” Mr. Obama said at a joint news conference with Ms. Gillard soon after his arrival here in Australia’s capital.

Mr. Obama said the basing agreement “allows us to meet the demands of a lot of partners in the region that want to feel that they’re getting the training, they’re getting the exercises, and that we have the presence that’s necessary to maintain the security architecture in the region.”

“But the second message I’m trying to send is that we are here to stay,” Mr. Obama said. “This is a region of huge strategic importance to us.” He added: “Even as we make a whole host of important fiscal decisions back home, this is right up there at the top of my priority list. And we’re going to make sure that we are able to fulfill our leadership role in the Asia Pacific region.”

On his two-day visit, the president will fly north across the continent to Darwin, a frontier town and military outpost across the waters from Indonesia that will be the center of operations for the coming deployment. The first 200 to 250 Marines will arrive next year, with forces rotating in and out and eventually building to 2,500-strong, the two leaders said.

The United States will not build new bases on the continent but instead will use Australian facilities. Mr. Obama said Marines will rotate through for joint training and exercises with Australians and the American Air Force will have increased access to airfields in the nation’s Northern Territory.

“We’re going to be in a position to more effectively strengthen the security of both of our nations and this region,” he said.

Since World War II, the United States has had military bases and much larger forces in Japan and South Korea, in the north Pacific, but the arrangement with Australia will put an American footprint closer to the southern reaches of the South China Sea. The sea, a major commercial route — including for American exports — has been roiled by China’s aggressive claims of control.

Like Australia, China’s neighbors in Southeast Asia have looked to the United States to increase its military presence as a counterweight to Beijing. Mr. Obama has sought to provide that assurance, but the Asia-Pacific allies are well aware of the intense pressure for budget-cutting in Washington, and fear that squeezed military spending and other factors may inhibit Mr. Obama’s ability to follow through.

The United States and other Pacific Rim nations are also negotiating for a free-trade bloc that does not include China, the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The tentative trade agreement was a topic over the weekend in Honolulu, where Mr. Obama hosted the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, and it will be discussed again later this week when he becomes the first American president to participate in the East Asia Summit, on Indonesia’s island of Bali.

For China, the week’s developments could suggest both an economic and military encirclement. For the United States and its Pacific Rim allies, they suggest a growing concern over China’s muscle.

But Mr. Obama said, “The notion that we fear China is mistaken. The notion that we are looking to exclude China is mistaken.”

The president said China would be welcomed into the tentative Trans-Pacific Partnership — nine nations, including the United States, agreed in Honolulu to finalize a framework in 2012 — if it is willing to meet the free-trade standards for membership. Such standards would require China to let its currency rise in value, better protect foreign producers’ intellectual property rights and limit or end subsidies to state-owned companies.

Mr. Obama arrived in Australia for his first visit as president after twice cancelling trips due to domestic demands; he recalled at a state dinner that he had visited twice as a boy, when his mother was working in Indonesia on development programs.

This time, as president, Mr. Obama arrived at Parliament House to a 21-gun salute and, once inside, to the enthusiastic greeting of Australians crowding the galleries of the massive marble entrance hall.

The two countries have long been allies and another purpose of Mr. Obama’s visit is to celebrate their alliance’s 60th anniversary. “The United States has no stronger ally,” Mr. Obama said.

Australians fought with the United States in every war of the 20th century, and more recently have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. The war in Afghanistan has become increasingly unpopular with most Australians want their troops to come home immediately.

Only a few revered and influential musicians, better defined as legends, can last for 25 or more years in the music game/industry and remain relevant.
　
One seasoned Spikiri “King Don Father” Mofokeng, a deserving member of this elite list, has reached this feat and embodies everything it stands for and more. A guaranteed and consistant hitmaker (”Current”, Trompies’ “Sgiya Nengoma”, “Vokol” by Alaska, “Vat & Sit”) over the years, he has managed to stay true to what he is, does best and reinvented his music over and over again to stay relevant, and still maintained that killer “Spikiri” signature sound.
　
His 25th anniversary celebration album “has reached him at the Top of his game” and he says he still takes his job seriously. Led by the hectic single “Ngeke Balunge” (featuring Teargas, Bricks, Madluphuthu, Skhokho and Brown Dash) and the Siyarokha (featuring Louie Vega, Minister Fikile Mbalula, Greg Maloka, Oskido, Mr Selwyn and Alaska), Spikiri says that the album is testament to his longevity and his chosen music genre - kwaito. “When I get into the studio, I go in there to do a better project than the last one,” says the Trompies member. “I don’t rest on my laurels, always respect my fans and always put in more than enough energy into my work, afterall, ‘you are only as good as your last hit’ .”
　
Separated into a Red and Black discs that features an army of more than 60 previous and newer collaborators, this is a 28track offering that demands space in your music collection. The red album features collaborators such as Professor, Big Nuz and Speedy on the highly spirited statement maker “Umoya” that also signals the return of the Boss; the 25-years celebratory “Something to Remember” featuring Zakes, Ishmael, T-Rolle and Mr Selwyn, Abomrapper Flabba, Hhp, Pro rocking a kwaito beat with the legendary Baby Gee on “Mini Sket; Thebe, Mandoza, Magesh, Mjakes, Robbie Malinga on the vibrant “Don’t touch my phone”; Stoan, Doggz of War, Skhokho appear on the playful “Abo Nice”, delivered in a an unmistakenly Pretoria lingo and XiTsonga; “; the explosive “Woh Bus” features Baksteena, Gunman, Speedy and Bouga Luv; Junior Mabhokodo, “Pikinini” showcasing Alaska, Bhelekazi and The Kids; Professor, Brown Dash, General (GTZ) and Tira are on “Skeem Sam”, and hitting with a hip-hop beat on the sizzling “Fire” featuring L Skills, Stoan, Bhelekazi and Mzebbs.
　
Demor and Bhelekazi kick off the deeper with a tinge of house Black Album with “Stop it I like it”, “Mantjontjelana” features Gurash, Mzebbs, Thabs Le Madonga, Skhokho and Bhelekazi; Fox, Dogz of War, Diliza, Gizmo on the stupefying and honour bestowing “King Don Father”; Alaska, Brown Dah, Jairos, and General team up on the fiery “Kamjakajaka”, “Gangsta Love” featuring Brown Dah, Bhelekazi, Skhokho and General; “Better Days” featuring Bantu Soul; and Masheleng riding with Speedy, Stapora, Mzeyks, Benzy, Guffy, Ma7 and Thabs Le Madonga on “Come “n Go”, Crowded Crew on “Lebekere”; Sparara with Sparara, Fox, Mzebbs and Navy; Mgiftana, Skhokho, Brown Desh, Mzebbs and General are on “Uyabona Manje”; Bloq featrues on both dics’ “Africa’ and “Africa” remix, and more.
　
The star who has produced for a varied list that includes Bongo Maffin, Kabello, says he loves working with different artists, hence the army from various genres that are part of this album. “They are just as responsible for my success,” he says”, “they add their own element to my music and inspire me. Yes, my music can have my signature sound, but there is a crowd for HHP, Pro, Kabello and they also add other elements that are loved by many. ”
　
Spikiri says working on this special album was very emotional. “This has to be the best album I have done, and its clear proof to all the doubters that kwaito isn’t dead. It won’t die while I am still alive,” he quipps. “It wasn’t child’s play as many artists/producers couldn’t reach this level and could’t sustain their careers. I have managed to do music that both the young and old; doctor or lawyer; labourer or manager, or anyone can enjoy.”
　
He adds that there are many ways to change with times. “This can be through working with various artists, through lyrical content or musically. “I was there at the beginning of Durban kwaito with Professor and look where it is now. I do many sounds, but maintain my signature. U can’t miss that Spikiri Bassline and it defines my music. Add to that the fact that I always go out to create a classic album. I deal with quality and celebrating with that hardcore kwaito genre that they say is dead. This is talent that God gave me”
　
Defined as kwaito itself, he has previously worked with Skwatta Kamp, Busi Mhlongo, Hugh Masekela, Don Laka to mention just a few. Beside being a solo artist, Spikiri is a member of the long standing Kwaito outfit, Trompies, and he is one of the co-owners of the Kalawa Jazmee Records hit factory – an independent record label that has been kicking some ass and taking South African music to another level and introducing it to the four corners of the world. Spikiri’s amazing talent has seen him doing the signature tune for Mzansi’s most favourite soapie Generations and now he is on another mission.
Kwaito is Alive… We bow down to you King Don Father.
