Konflikti Kiinan merellä

Taylor Fravel, a professor and director of the security studies program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has told the Wall Street Journal that “China now clearly has the confidence and the capability to conduct exercises close to Taiwan itself, from all directions.”

“The exercises demonstrate that China may now be able to carry out some kinds of operations that it may have been unable to do in the past, such as carrying out an actual blockade of Taiwan’s ports, perhaps closing the Taiwan Strait,” Fravel added, suggesting that Beijing would be likely to try and carry out similar exercises again.

Overnight Reuters has reported that US secretary of state Antony Blinken has reassured the Philippines that the US would come to its defence if attacked in the South China Sea.

In a visit to Manila which has been dominated by tensions over Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan and the subsequent Chinese military drills around the disputed territory Blinken said the defence pact with the Philippines was “ironclad.”

“An armed attack on Philippine armed forces, public vessels and aircraft will invoke US mutual defence commitments. The Philippines is an irreplaceable friend, partner, and ally to the United States,” Blinken told a news conference.

China’s defence ministry defended its shelving of military talks with the United States in protest against Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taipei last week, as its military said it would continue drills around Taiwan on Monday.

The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) posted online that it would practise anti-submarine attacks and sea raids on Monday, following four days of unprecedented drills around the self-ruled island.

Defence ministry spokesperson Wu Qian defended the decision to suspend military channels, saying in an online post on Monday: “The current tense situation in the Taiwan Strait is entirely provoked and created by the US side on its own initiative, and the US side must bear full responsibility and serious consequences for this.

“The bottom line cannot be broken, and communication requires sincerity,” Wu said.

Taiwan crisis: China defends calling off US military talks as exercises set to resume

Anti-submarine attacks and sea raids set to begin on Monday, as Beijing accuses US of provoking its cancellation of military talks

About 10 warships each from China and Taiwan manoeuvreed at close quarters around the line on Sunday, according to a person familiar with the situation who is involved with security planning.

The island’s defence ministry said Chinese military ships, aircraft, and drones had simulated attacks on the island and its navy. It said it had sent aircraft and ships to react “appropriately“.

China called off formal talks involving theatre-level commands, defence policy coordination and military maritime consultations on Friday as Pelosi left the region.

Pentagon, state department and White House officials condemned the move, describing it as an irresponsible overreaction.

China’s cutting of some of its few communication links with the US military raises the risk of an accidental escalation over Taiwan at a critical moment, according to security analysts and diplomats.

Apple has reportedly asked Taiwan-based suppliers to label their products as being produced in China, in an effort to avoid disruption from strict Chinese customs inspections resulting from the visit of the US House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, to Taipei.

According to Nikkei, the company has asked manufacturers on the island to label components bound for mainland China as made in “Chinese Taipei” or “Taiwan, China”. The labels are required in order to comply with a longstanding but previously unenforced rule that requires imported goods to suggest the island is part of the People’s Republic of China.

The phrase “Made in Taiwan” can lead to delays, fines, and even the rejection of an entire shipment under the rule. But Taiwan itself requires exports to be labelled with the point of origin: either the name “Taiwan” or the country’s official name, “Republic of China”.

The choice to require suppliers to deny Taiwan’s independent existence has led to criticism from around the world. GreatFire, which works against Chinese censorship online, noted that the move was an escalation from a previous slight by Apple, which removed the Taiwan flag from emoji keyboards for users in China and Hong Kong. “Is it a question of time before Apple starts removing apps whose name contains the characters [for] Taiwan without specifying ‘province of China’,” the organisation asked.

“Unfortunately, we suspect that Apple’s ‘red-line’, the moment where it will say: ‘Stop, no longer, we cannot continue to collaborate with the Chinese regime and enforce its requests for censorship,’ is nowhere close,” GreatFire’s Benjamin Ismail told the Register news site.

Apple may have felt as if it had little choice but to comply with China’s requests. Shipment delays now would be ruinous, as the company moves into the final production phase for the iPhone 14, expected to be announced at a press event next month. Supply chain shortages have already started to bite, with the company taking the unprecedented decision, according to influential analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, of shipping the cheaper non-Pro variants of the phone with the same core chip that is already in the iPhones 13 currently on sale.

Taiwanese electronics manufacturer and Apple supplier Pegatron has issued a statement on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSWE) to refute reports it was forced to suspend operations after Chinese authorities stopped supplies reaching its facilities.

“In response to today’s media reporting that factories in China were forced to suspend production and shipments, Pegatron would like to clarify that our operations in China currently are running as usual, there’s no suspension on productions and shipments,” wrote Pegatron.

The report Pegatron mentioned was in Japanese outlet Nikkei and claimed cartons delivered to Pegatron’s Suzhou facility in mainland China carrying the words “Taiwan” or “Republic of China” were delayed after receiving extra scrutiny from Chinese customs officials.

The report drew connections to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent trip to Taipei where Pegatron vice chairman Jason Chen attended a lunch and posed for photos with Pelosi and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company execs. Chinese state-sponsored media derided Pelosi’s efforts to meet with TSMC execs, in particular, as a “photo-op.”

Nikkei Asia reported that shipments received in mainland China cannot contain the words “Republic of China," "R.O.C." or "Taiwan” on their documents or boxes.

“These rules have existed for years, but they have been enforced more frequently as tensions between Beijing and Taipei have increased, creating more trade barriers, according to multiple suppliers and logistics companies,” the outlet stated.

Taiwan's first semiconductor company United Microelectronics Corporation, was also reportedly on the defensive after its founder, Robert Tsao, criticized Chinese show of force via military drills surrounding the island during the visit.

Tsao reportedly vowed at a press conference to donate over $100 million to bolster Taiwan's defenses against China, releasing a statement the next day calling the Chinese Communist Party a “hooligan.”

In response, the company reportedly clarified to Chinese media that Tsao has been retired from UMC for over a decade.

According to Chinese state-sponsored media, Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council spokesperson Ma Xioguang characterized Tsao’s move as a distortion of basic fact that smear Chinese mainland.

India will tweak the incentive scheme it offers to manufacturers of enterprise hardware after disappointing uptake.

"The IT hardware is not a high growth market, it is a very set market," IT minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar told India's Business Standard

"There are only four to five players and almost all of their manufacturing is in China. The players are known – HP, Dell, and Apple, among others, and some Chinese brands," he added, concluding "Therefore, there is not much incentive for too many companies to come here and make investments and the first round of PLI reflected that."

India can point to some successes in its effort to have multinationals make more kit on its soil: Apple has moved more work to India and over the weekend was rumored to be relying on the nation for early supplies of this year's new model iPhones. HPE has also increased its local efforts.

China carried out fresh military drills around Taiwan Monday, Beijing said, defying calls for it to end its largest-ever exercises encircling the democratic island in the wake of a visit by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Beijing has raged at the trip by Pelosi -- the highest-ranking elected US official to visit Taiwan in decades -- ripping up a series of talks and cooperation agreements with Washington, most notably on climate change and defence.
It has also deployed fighter jets, warships and ballistic missiles in what analysts have described as practice for a blockade and ultimate invasion of the self-ruled island that China claims as its territory.
Those drills had been expected to draw to a close on Sunday, but neither Beijing nor Taipei confirmed their conclusion, though Taiwan's transport ministry said it had seen some evidence suggesting at least a partial drawdown.
China then said Monday they were ongoing, reporting "the eastern theatre of the Chinese People's Liberation Army continued to carry out practical joint exercises and training in the sea and airspace around Taiwan island".
The exercises, the Chinese military's Eastern Command said, were "focusing on organising joint anti-submarine and sea assault operations".
Beijing is also set to carry out live-fire drills on Monday in parts of the South China Sea and Yellow Sea.

Viimeksi muokattu:
China used its military drills last week to prepare for an invasion of Taiwan, and its anger over US speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit was just an excuse, Taiwan’s foreign minister has said.

The minister, Joseph Wu, addressed the media on Tuesday morning, as China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) continued with military exercises it began last week, and Taiwan started its own live-fire drills. Wu accused China of “gross violations of international law”.

“China has used the drills in its military playbook to prepare for the invasion of Taiwan,” he said. “It is conducting large-scale military exercises and missile launches, as well as cyber-attacks, disinformation, and economic coercion, in an attempt to weaken public morale in Taiwan.”

Tensions high as Taiwan begins live-fire drills and China continues military exercises it started after US speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taipei last week

ast week government websites, convenience stores, and train station signs were targeted by cyber-attacks. Wu said the varying attacks were traced to China and Russia, across several days. Overseas cyberattacks were continuing and Taiwan’s authorities remained on “high alert”, Wu said, but Taiwan would not be cowed.

“China’s continued attempt to intimidate Taiwan will not panic us, nor will they defeat us. The values of freedom and democracy cannot be taken away.”

Taiwan began its own live-fire military drills on Tuesday, in Pingtung county in the south of the main island. The exercises are designed to simulate defensive operations against an attack on the island. A Taiwan military spokesperson told AFP the drills were previously scheduled. Taiwan holds annual military drills, traditionally around this time of year. The week before Pelosi’s visit, major cities conducted air raid drills for all citizens, and ran large scale military exercises on land and at sea.
