Hiinlaste järjekordne jõukatsumine FIlipiinide suunal

Turns out the Chinese Coast Guard attack yesterday against the Filipino resupply mission to the BRP Sierra Madre in the 2nd Thomas Shoal was more aggressive than initially thought.

They overpowered the Filipino military personnel on one of the boats and confiscated the crew’s firearms.

A Filipino sailor lost host finger and many more were wounded from water cannons and Chinese ramming operations.

The Chinese Coast Guard towed one the Filipino boats away and stopped all 4 from resupplying the Filipino crew on the Sierra Madre.

The 2nd Thomas Shoal is within Filipino waters, only 250 km away from the main Philippine islands, but nearly 1000 knows away from the nearest Chinese territory.

Hiina võib Taiwani üle võtta, selle karantiini seadmisega. Omaette küsimus, kuidas teised riigid sellesse suhtuvad.

China can occupy Taiwan without firing a shot, CSIS report says.

— CSIS warns of a third option beyond invasion or blockade: quarantine.

— Using "gray zone" tactics, China could initiate a full or partial quarantine of Taiwan using its Coast Guard, maritime militia, and other agencies.

— This approach could cut off access to Taiwan's ports and stop vital supplies like energy from reaching the island's 23 million people.

— A quarantine differs from a blockade in that it's considered a law enforcement operation rather than a military action, making it harder for the US and allies to intervene.

— China's Coast Guard has 150 ocean-going vessels and 400 smaller ones, far outnumbering Taiwan's coast guard.

— This approach could make it difficult for the US to intervene without being seen as initiating military hostilities.

Xi käis sõjaväelaste ja poliitikutega konverentsil

During China’s blatant attack on the Philippines at Ayungin, Xi was attending a top-level conference with senior military & political officials. The last time such a meeting was held was in 2014.

Xi made a timely public appearance the following day, wearing military greens & looking like a wartime president, & underscored the “importance of enhancing political loyalty in the military in the new era & providing a firm political guarantee for building a strong military...”

Xi said “the world, nation, party, & military have been undergoing deep & sophisticated changes, & the country’s armed forces are facing a range of complex challenges” & “asked all senior officers to lead their units in the fight for realizing the military’s centenary goals…”

Xi made the remarks on Monday, 17 June (same day as the Ayungin attack), when addressing hundreds of high-ranking officers & senior commanders at the 3-day military-political work conference in Yan'an, Shaanxi province.

@brentdsadler
: Xi is signaling both his people and foreigners. This comment in particular is telling:

“…the military, under the Party's guidance, will become stronger and will march toward its centenary in 2027 with new achievements, according to Xi.”

Japan confirms #China set up buoy over its southern continental shelf

The Japanese government said Friday it has confirmed China has installed a buoy in the high seas over Japan's southern continental shelf in the Pacific Ocean, in a move that could further strain bilateral relations.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi told a news conference it was "regrettable" that China has set up a small buoy in the waters off Japan's western main island of Shikoku and north of the southernmost Okinotori Island "without explaining its purpose and other details."

The government has urged China not to undermine Japan's maritime interests, with Beijing responding that it installed the buoy to monitor tsunami and does not intend to infringe upon Tokyo's sovereignty over the continental shelf, the top government spokesman said.

Japan confirmed that the Chinese survey ship Xiang Yang Hong 22 set up the buoy in mid-June while monitoring the vessel as it sailed through Japan's exclusive economic zone in the East China Sea, a government source said. The open-sea area in question is surrounded by Japan's EEZ.

Hayashi said the Japanese government will continue to collect related information and analyze it.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said the buoy, which is to monitor tsunami, was set up in the high seas "for the purposes of scientific research and serving public good" and doing so is "a well-established international practice" based on the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea.

"Japan has no right to interfere in such activities," she told a press conference in Beijing.

Last July, China installed another buoy inside Japan's EEZ near the Tokyo-controlled, Beijing-claimed uninhabited Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea, prompting Japan to lodge a protest and demand its immediate removal.

Mao said that as the islands, which Beijing calls Diaoyu, are part of China's territory and its surrounding waters are under the country's jurisdiction, it is "legitimate and lawful for China to set up hydrological and meteorological data buoys in those areas."

China has been intensifying its military activities and maritime assertiveness in the regional waters, with Japan protesting against repeated intrusions by Chinese ships into Japanese waters around the Senkakus.

https://x.com/ianellisjones/status/1799984761886138560

Large ferries recruited from China's civilian fleet were used in naval exercises held both last summer and in July, suggesting that Beijing could use non-military vessels to leapfrog its current amphibious transport bottleneck.

In a Jamestown Foundation report published last month, Conor Kennedy, an instructor at the China Maritime Studies Institute of the U.S. Naval War College, used open-source research to highlight the movements last summer of a Chinese ferry, the Bang Chui Dao. Kennedy's research highlighted what may be the first attempt by China to convert a commercial ferry into an amphibious vessel for military purposes.

Ferries typically can only load and unload vehicles at ports, but the Bang Chui Dao had been retrofitted with a ramp that enables vehicles to roll on and off at sea -- an ability that Chinese state television highlighted in multiple news reports on an amphibious exercise in southern China's Guangdong province.

"A surge in PLA landing ship construction would be expected before serious preparations for a cross-Strait invasion," Kennedy wrote, referring to China's People's Liberation Army. "This would be exposed to ship spotters and overhead imagery over the course of many months and has not yet been observed. Nevertheless, the testing of new ramp systems as seen on the Bang Chui Dao could offer the PLA a potentially fast and cheap method of surging amphibious lift capabilities without raising concerns."

Hiina ja Filipiinid jõudsid kokkuleppele Lõuna-Hiina mere kokkupõrgete lõpetamiseks:
Hiina ja Filipiinid jõudsid kokkuleppele, millega loodetakse lõpetada vastasseisud Lõuna-Hiina mere kõige ägedamas vaidlusaluses madalikus, teatas Filipiinide valitsus pühapäeval.

Üliolulise kokkuleppeni jõuti pühapäeval pärast Filipiinide ja Hiina diplomaatide vahelisi kohtumisi Manilas ning diplomaatiliste nootide vahetamist, mille eesmärk oli sõlmida vastastikku vastuvõetav kokkulepe ilma kummagi poole territoriaalseid nõudeid tunnistamata.

Kaks anonüümsust soovinud Filipiinide ametnikku, kes on läbirääkimistest teadlikud, kinnitasid tehingut The Associated Pressile ning valitsus tegi hiljem lühikese avalduse, milles teatas tehingust üksikasju avaldamata.

"Mõlemad pooled tunnistavad jätkuvalt vajadust leevendada olukorda Lõuna-Hiina merel ning juhtida erimeelsusi dialoogi ja konsultatsioonide kaudu ning lepivad kokku, et lepe ei kahjusta teineteise positsioone Lõuna-Hiina merel," teatas Manilas asuv välisministeerium. .

Kumbki pool pole veel lepingu teksti avaldanud.

Hiinal on vaidlusi mitme valitsusega maismaa- ja merepiiride üle, millest paljud asuvad Lõuna-Hiina merel, ning haruldane kokkulepe Filipiinidega võib tekitada lootust, et Peking võib sõlmida sarnased kokkulepped teiste rivaalitsevate riikidega, et vältida kokkupõrkeid keeruliste territoriaalsete probleemide lahendamisel. Jääb aga näha, kas tehing suudeti edukalt ellu viia ja kui kaua see kestab.

Hiina rannavalve ja teised väed on kasutanud võimsaid veekahureid ja ohtlikke blokeerimismanöövreid, et vältida toiduainete ja muude varude jõudmist Filipiinide mereväe personali Manila eelpostis madalikul.

Aastaid kestnud territoriaalne vastasseis madalikul on alates eelmisest aastast korduvalt ägenenud Hiina rannavalve, mereväe ja oletatavate miilitsalaevade ning Filipiinide rannavalve saatjaga mereväe paatide vahel, mis transpordivad toitu, vett ja värsket mere- ja mereväelasi eelpostile kaua aega maandatud ja mereväes. roostetav sõjalaev BRP Sierra Madre.

Filipiinide valitsuse teatel rammisid Hiina väed mootorpaatidel 17. juunil korduvalt kahte Filipiinide mereväe paati, et takistada Filipiinide vägedel madalikul asuvale laeva eelpostile toimetamast toitu ja muid tarvikuid, sealhulgas tulirelvi.

Pärast korduvat rammimist haarasid hiinlased Filipiinide mereväe paadid ning kahjustasid neid matšeete ja improviseeritud odadega. Samuti konfiskeeriti seitse kasti pakitud M4 vintpüssi ja muid tarvikuid. Vägivaldne kokkupõrge haavas mitut Filipiinide mereväe töötajat, sealhulgas üht, kes kaotas pöidla, kaootilises kokkupõrkes, mis jäädvustati videole ja fotodele, mille Filipiinide ametnikud hiljem avalikustasid.

Hiina ja Filipiinid süüdistasid vastasseisus teineteist ja kinnitasid kumbki oma suveräänseid õigusi madaliku üle, mida filipiinlased kutsuvad Ayunginiks ja hiinlased Ren'ai Jiaoks.

Ameerika Ühendriigid ning selle peamised Aasia ja Lääne liitlased, sealhulgas Jaapan ja Austraalia, mõistsid hukka Hiina teod madalikul ning nõudsid õigusriigi põhimõtete ja meresõiduvabaduse järgimist Lõuna-Hiina merel.

Lisaks Hiinale ja Filipiinidele on Vietnam, Malaisia, Brunei ja Taiwan sattunud eraldi, kuid üha pingelisemaks muutuvatesse territoriaalsetesse vaidlustesse veeteel, mida peetakse USA-Hiina regionaalses rivaalitsemises potentsiaalseks sähvatuspunktiks ja delikaatseks murdejooneks. USA sõjavägi on aastakümneid kasutanud mereväe laevu ja hävituslennukeid nn navigeerimisvabaduse ja ülelennu patrullimise eesmärgil, millele Hiina on vastu ja peab ohuks piirkonna stabiilsusele.

Washingtonil ei ole vaidlusalustes vetes territoriaalseid nõudeid, kuid ta on korduvalt hoiatanud, et on kohustatud kaitsma oma Aasia vanimat lepinguliitlast Filipiine, kui Filipiinide väed, laevad ja lennukid satuvad relvastatud rünnaku alla, sealhulgas Lõuna-Hiina merel.

Üks kahest Filipiinide ametnikust ütles, et 17. juuni vastasseis ajendas Pekingit ja Manilat kiirendama läbirääkimisi kokkuleppe üle, mis hoiaks ära vastasseisud Teises Thomas Shoalis.

Viimasel neljal päeval toimunud viimastel kohtumistel eemaldati lepingu projektist kaks Hiina nõudmist, mis olid seni olnud võtmepunktiks.

Hiina oli varem teatanud, et lubab Filipiinidel transportida madalas asuvatele vägedele toitu, vett ja muid põhitarvikuid, kui Manila nõustub mitte tooma laguneva laeva kindlustamiseks ehitusmaterjale ning teatama Hiinale ette ja andma õiguse kontrollige laevu nende materjalide osas, ütlesid ametnikud.

Filipiinid lükkasid need tingimused tagasi ja lõplik tehing neid Filipiinide ametniku sõnul ei sisaldanud.

Hiina ja orkide strateegilised pommitajad ühislennul USA majandusvete lähedal Alaskal.

Yesterday, Chinese & Russian strategic bombers entered the U.S.−Alaska ADIZ at the same time, for the first time

A few new details:

- Came within ~200 miles of sovereign U.S. airspace
- Took off from the same Russian air base on a combined patrol & flying together
- 1st time Chinese H-6 strategic bombers encroached on the area & flew over the Bering Sea
- 8th joint patrol since 2019 (previous ops were conducted in the Sea of Japan, East China Sea, & WESTPAC)
- 2x F-35 Lightning II & 2x F-16 Fighting Falcons, 2x CF-18 Hornets intercepted
- Farthest distance Chinese bombers have flown during a strategic patrol mission
- Conducted over the Chukchi Sea, Bering Sea, & northern Pacific Ocean
- Escorted at times by Russian Su-30SM & Su-35S fighter aircraft
- Lasted ~5 hours

“This is the first time that we have seen these two countries fly together like that,” U.S. SECDEF Austin said today. “If it happens again — if there is any kind of challenge from any direction — I have every confidence that NORTHCOM & NORAD will be at the ready.”

Allveelaevade osas vaevalt, et mõnda adekvaatset lehte leiad. See on kõikide riikide jaoks nii strateegiline vahend, et selliseid liikumisi reklaamitakse ja näidatakse väga harva. Üldjuhul ainult sadamasse-sadamast liikumised või mõni õppus. Aasia osas soovitaks pilti peal hoida enda refereeritud https://x.com/ianellisjones lehte.

Hiina liigutamas tanke Taiwani suunale

In the middle of the night of August 15, in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China, someone photographed the massive transfer of the PLA's 73049th Tank Unit.

The characters on the soldiers' vests read: "警戒/73049部隊" (Guard/73049 Unit).

The time on the roadside clock was 11:00 PM at the 9-second mark, and 3:00 AM at the 3:54 mark, leading to speculation whether this indicates that the tank unit took at least four hours to pass through this intersection.

From the video, the speed of the tanks' movement suggests that six tanks passed every minute, which would mean a total of 1440 tanks passed in four hours.

The guy who filmed this assumed that "it is in support of Russia". But that's only his guess, I think.
