Leadership Changes And Upcoming Obama Visit Give U.S. New Opportunities In Laos

By Murray Hiebert (@MurrayHiebert1), Senior Fellow and Deputy Director, Chair for Southeast Asia Studies (@SoutheastAsiaDC), CSIS

February 4, 2016

Leadership changes announced at a recently completed congress of the ruling Lao People’s Revolutionary Party and President Barack Obama’s planned visit to Vientiane in September, the first ever to Laos by a sitting U.S. president, give Washington an important opportunity to boost ties with this landlocked nation of less than 7 million people along China’s southern flank.

ICAO sửa bản đồ vùng thông báo bay Tam Á theo yêu cầu của Việt Nam

Tổ chức hàng không dân dụng quốc tế (ICAO) đã sửa bản đồ vùng thông báo bay có nội dung không phù hợp, ảnh hưởng đến chủ quyền của Việt Nam với hai quần đảo Trường Sa và Hoàng Sa, sau khi Việt Nam trao công hàm phản đối.

Vùng thông báo bay Hồ Chí Minh (màu xanh).

Theo thông cáo của Bộ Ngoại giao Việt Nam phát hôm nay, đại diện Đại sứ quán Việt Nam tại Canada hôm 22/1 gặp Chủ tịch Hội đồng và Tổng Thư ký Tổ chức hàng không dân dụng quốc tế (ICAO) tại trụ sở của tổ chức ở thành phố Montreal.

Đại diện Việt Nam đã trực tiếp trao công hàm ngày 15/1 của Đại sứ quán, khẳng định chủ quyền của Việt Nam đối với hai quần đảo Hoàng Sa và Trường Sa.

Đồng thời, Việt Nam phản đối việc tổ chức này đăng tải bản đồ hàng không về Vùng thông báo bay (FIR) Tam Á nói riêng và FIR trong khu vực Biển Đông nói chung có những nội dung không phù hợp và ảnh hưởng chủ quyền của Việt Nam đối với hai quần đảo Hoàng Sa và Trường Sa.

Việt Nam “đề nghị ICAO chỉnh sửa lại bản đồ hàng không về FIR Tam Á và các thông tin liên quan cho phù hợp”, thông cáo cho biết.

Theo Cục Hàng không dân dụng Việt Nam, hiện trên trang web của ICAO, bản đồ Hàng không về FIR Tam Á và các thông tin liên quan đã được chỉnh sửa lại theo yêu cầu của phía Việt Nam. Ngày 27/1, Chủ tịch Hội đồng ICAO cũng đã có thư gửi Cục Hàng không dân dụng về vấn đề này.

Đại diện Đại sứ quán cũng bày tỏ quan ngại việc Trung Quốc tiến hành các chuyến bay ra đá Chữ Thập trong thời gian vừa qua đã không chỉ xâm phạm chủ quyền của Việt Nam đối với quần đảo Trường Sa mà còn vi phạm nghiêm trọng các quy định và chuẩn mực về an toàn bay của ICAO trong khu vực FIR Hồ Chí Minh do Việt Nam quản lý.

    The events of this month have reminded Americans that Asia is a region of both great opportunity and significant risk. In just the first two weeks of the year, North Korea conducted its fourth nuclear test, China began flying aircraft to airfields constructed on disputed features in the South China Sea, and Taiwan’s opposition candidate surged towards a victory in elections that will likely draw fire from Beijing.

The Great Civil Society Choke-out

Around the world, governments are doing their best to strangle funding for the civilian groups that dare to challenge their power and hold them to account.

The Great Civil Society Choke-out

Civil society is under more aggressive attack than at any time in recent memory. Facing independent civic groups that have further reach, and more outlets to publish their findings and make their case, governments around the world have begun working to silence them by depriving them of their right to seek funding abroad, even when domestic funds are unavailable. From Africa to Eastern Europe to Asia, autocrats have claimed that they are fighting foreign interference to brush aside domestic and international protest over these restrictions.

Southeast Asia From Scott Circle – Jan 21: For China, A Race To Retain Appeal In Southeast Asia

For China, A Race To Retain Appeal In Southeast Asia

January 21, 2015

The landslide election in Taiwan of pro-independence opposition leader Tsai Ing-wen to be president has led to speculation of a possible recalibration in Chinese foreign policy, at least in the year ahead. Observers believe that stable cross-strait relations over the past eight years have allowed Beijing the bandwidth to explore greener pastures such as the once-dormant South China Sea dispute and expand its footprint across Southeast Asia.

Let China win. It’s good for America.

January 15

Joshua Kurlantzick is a senior fellow for Southeast Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations.

When Chinese officials announced in 2013 that they would open an Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank to primarily fund big construction projects across the Pacific, they launched a slow-motion freak-out in Washington. As they went around the world inviting governments to join, Obama administration officials pressured their allies in Asia, Europe and elsewherenot to. The AIIB, headquartered in Beijing, would allow China to expand its influence throughout Asia, the White House fretted. “We are wary about a trend toward constant accommodation of China,” one Obama aidecomplained to the Financial Times after Britain joined 56 other nations in signing up to fund power plants, roads, telecommunications infrastructure and other ventures. It was a rare public critique of a U.S. ally.

In 2015, Congress tasked the Department of Defense to commission an independent assessment of U.S. military strategy and force posture in the Asia-Pacific, as well as that of U.S. allies and partners, over the next decade. This CSIS study fulfills that congressional requirement. The authors assess U.S. progress to date and recommend initiatives necessary to protect U.S. interests in the Pacific Command area of responsibility through 2025. Four lines of effort are highlighted: (1) Washington needs to continue aligning Asia strategy within the U.S. government and with allies and partners; (2) U.S. leaders should accelerate efforts to strengthen ally and partner capability, capacity, resilience, and interoperability; (3) the United States should sustain and expand U.S. military presence in the Asia-Pacific region; and (4) the United States should accelerate development of innovative capabilities and concepts for U.S. forces.

Vietnam asks ICAO to correct Sanya FIR map in East Vietnam Sea

TUOI TRE NEWS – UPDATED : 01/16/2016 15:07 GMT + 7

Vietnam has requested that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) correct the map of a flight information region (FIR) that contains information violating Vietnam’s sovereignty.

The map of the Sanya FIR, which includes Vietnam’s Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelago, has the Chinese words of “Sansha city – China,” according to the Vietnam News Agency.

It also draws a symbol of an airport on Da Chu Thap (Fiery Cross) Reef in Truong Sa, with the English words “Yong Shu airport – Sansha.”

Vietnam’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Le Hai Binh said on Friday that moves are a violation of Vietnam’s sovereignty over Truong Sa and Hoang Sa, as well as an infringement on Vietnam’s legitimate rights in the East Vietnam Sea.

Vietnam has many times raised a voice protesting China’s establishment of the so-called “Sansha city” and its building of artificial islands and an airport in the area, the spokesman said.

Binh also said that Vietnam has indisputable sovereignty over the Truong Sa (Spratly) and Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelagos.

In letters recently sent to ICAO, Vietnamese agencies have affirmed Vietnam’s sovereignty and noted that China’s flights to Da Chu Thap has violated ICAO’s regulations on aviation safety, according to theVietnam News Agency.

On Thursday, the United Nations endorsed two diplomatic notes Vietnam sent to China on January 2 and 7 as official documents of the 70th session of the UN General Assembly, the Vietnam News Agencyreported on Friday.

The notes protest China’s flights to Da Chu Thap in Vietnam’s Truong Sa archipelago and make it clear that it is a violation of Vietnam’s sovereignty and a threat to peace, and to stability, as well as aviation security and safety in the East Vietnam Sea.

The permanent Vietnam Mission to the United Nations had earlier sent a diplomatic note to the UN Secretary General, demanding that the UN circulate these two notes.

In Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, farmers fertilize rice with cement

TUOI TRE NEWS

UPDATED : 01/15/2016 10:30 GMT + 7

Farmers in the southern province of Dong Thap in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta are nurturing their paddy fields with an unusual kind of fertilizer: cement. They do seem to work amid expert warnings.

The other day Le Van Nuoi, a farmer in Long Hau Commune, Lai Vung District, realized that the vegetable crops around his house grew healthier than usual, after they had been accidentally sprinkled with wastewater mixed with cement.

Nuoi had had his house repaired and the water used to mix cement was dumped to the small canals where the vegetables were grown, he explained. Tiếp tục đọc “In Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, farmers fertilize rice with cement”
