(TNO) Trung Quốc chiếm bãi cạn Scarborough và tăng cường hoạt động xây dựng đảo nhân tạo trái phép trên Biển Đông đã cản trở hoạt động của ngư dân Philippines. Nhiều người đành phải neo tàu, gác lưới tìm công việc khác.

Trong nhiều năm qua, Biển Đông là nơi chia sẻ ngư trường của các ngư dân trong khu vực. Tàu cá các nước qua lại tấp nập, ngư dân dừng tàu chia sẻ với nhau những điếu thuốc hay khoai tây hoặc tán gẫu, theo bài viết trên tờ The Washington Post (Mỹ) ngày 6.6.

In an effort to stoke nationalism and distract its people from a slowing economy, the Chinese government has been acting particularly aggressively in the South China Sea, engaging in territorial disputes with neighbors including Japan.

This is one of the most dangerous games in the world. Tiếp tục đọc “China is using one of the most dangerous conflicts on the planet as a distraction” →

SINGAPORE—The way China looks at the disputes roiling the South China Sea, its forbearance has gone on far too long.

Smaller countries that ring the sea, including Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia have tested Beijing’s patience by striking claims to multiple islets, building structures on them and prospecting for energy in the surrounding waters. Indeed, these actions preceded any by China. But leniency has limits.

This sense of righteousness drives China’s massive island-building project in the Spratlys chain, which is now at the center of a gathering crisis in the world’s most economically vibrant region. Tiếp tục đọc “Beijing Hint: No More Mr. Nice Guy in South China Sea” →

China reinstitutes annual moratorium on fishing in part of South China Sea

~ Trần Đình Hoành ~ Bình luận về bài viết này

China on May 16 reinstituted its annual ban on fishing in areas of the South China Sea north of the 12th parallel. The ban runs through August 1 and covers disputed waters around the Paracel Islands as well as part of a joint fishing area in the Gulf of Tonkin that Beijing and Hanoi agreed upon in 2000. Vietnam’s government strongly objected to the unilateral ban, which each year leads to sometimes-violent clashes between Chinese authorities and Vietnamese fishermen.

Chinese long-range drones, artillery on artificial islands

FP Situation Report

One of the biggest bits of news has been the first sighting of a massive new Chinese long-range drone that is thought to be able to pick up and track stealthy aircraft at long range. The drone, first reported Thursday by Popular Mechanics’ Jeffrey Lin and P.W. Singer, had its maiden flight in February, and “could change the brewing arms race in the Asia Pacific.”

The double-bodied behemoth, with an estimated 40-meter wingspan, is packed with seven different radar systems and a variety of surveillance equipment to help it detect U.S. stealth aircraft like the F-35 fighter, B-2 bombers, and ships at long distances.

And to no one’s surprise, Beijing has been placing offensive weaponry on the artificial islands it’s been building in the South China Sea. We’ve already seen what look like air strips on some of the clumps of dirt hastily dumped on top of coral reefs, but the mobile artillery pieces that American intelligence have detected is something new.

While hardly a threat to any naval or air assets in the region, the guns are within range of nearby islands claimed by Vietnam, according to the Wall Street Journal’s Julian Barnes and Gordon Lubold, and their sheer symbolism carries some significant weight. With American surveillance planes flying nearby and U.S. Navy ships insisting on the right to transit close to the makeshift bits of land, the artillery pieces represent a small, but real, escalation of the game.

Commentary from Guangdong Research Institute for International Strategies in Guangzhou, China

Dear Friends

This professor from  Guangdong Research Institute for International Strategies in Guangzhou, China, is saying that the US activities to protect international freedom of navigation in the East Sea will prompt China to toughen its position, not very good for the US.

Well, China has already treated the US, ASEAN countries, and the world like a bunch of wimps, and the world as a lawless place.  The world simply has to put China to its place and tell China that this world is NOT a lawless place for bullies.

And this is not the US v. China, stupid!  This is the world of law against lawless China.

The Chinese navy warned a U.S. surveillance plane flying over artificial islands that Beijing is creating in the disputed South China Sea to leave the area eight times, according to CNN, which was on board the flight on May 20.

At one stage, after the American pilots responded by saying the plane was flying through international airspace, a Chinese radio operator said with exasperation: “This is the Chinese navy … You go!”

The P8-A Poseidon, the U.S. military’s most advanced surveillance aircraft, flew at 4,500 meters at its lowest point, CNN said. Tiếp tục đọc “CNN: China navy warns U.S. spy plane in disputed South China Sea” →
