Kiina varoittaa Japania alueen rauhan ja turvallisuuden vaarantamisesta
Japanin parlamentin erityiskomitea hyväksyi kaksi lakiesitystä, jotka koko parlamentin läpäistessään sallisivat Japanin sotilaiden osallistumisen operaatioihin ulkomailla ensimmäistä kertaa toisen maailmansodan jälkeen. Myöhemmin torstaina myös parlamentin alahuone hyväksyi lakimuutokset. Lakimuutokset on hyväksyttävä vielä parlamentin ylähuoneessa

Kiina on varoittanut Japania alueen rauhan ja turvallisuuden vaarantamisesta. Japanin parlamentin erityiskomitea hyväksyi kaksi lakiesitystä, jotka koko parlamentin läpäistessään sallisivat Japanin sotilaiden osallistumisen operaatioihin ulkomailla ensimmäistä kertaa toisen maailmansodan jälkeen.

Myöhemmin torstaina lakiesitykset menivät läpi myös parlamentin alahuoneessa. Opposition edustajat kävelivät ulos salista niiden puheenjohtajien puheenvuorojen jälkeen. Pääministeri Shinzo Aben liberaalidemokraattinen puolue ja sitä tukeva Komei-puolue olisivat voittaneet äänestyksen, vaikka oppositio olisi pysynytkin salissa, sillä kahdella puolueella on kaksi kolmasosaa alahuoneen paikoista.

– On täysin oikeutettua kysyä, aikooko Japani hylätä yksinomaan puolustukseen perustuneen politiikkansa, Kiinan ulkoministerin tiedottaja Hua Chynying sanoo lausunnossa.

– Kehotamme Japania vakavasti pidättymään Kiinan suvereniteetin ja turvallisuusintressien vaarantamisesta tai alueen rauhan ja turvallisuuden vaarantamisesta.

Hua kuvailee lakiesitysten hyväksymistä ennennäkemättömäksi vedoksi sitten toisen maailmansodan. Japani hyökkäsi Kiinaan vuonna 1937. Sota päättyi Japanin antautumiseen 1945.

Japanin pääministeri Shinzo Abe on sanonut, että aika on muuttunut, ja Japanin täytyy vahvistaa puolustustaan muun muassa Kiinan kasvavaa sotilasmahtia vastaan.

Täydennetty 18.01: Lisätty, että laki meni läpi myös parlamentin alahuoneessa.
 
The Philippines is planning a 25 percent hike in its defence budget next year, mainly to bolster its claims in the disputed South China Sea, officials said Tuesday.

The proposed 2016 national budget, which President Benigno Aquino is to present to parliament for approval on Monday, would reserve a record 25 billion pesos ($552 million) for defence spending.

Japan on Tuesday slammed Beijing's bid to reclaim land in the South China Sea as a "coercive attempt" to force sweeping maritime claims, in a defence paper that comes as Tokyo is expanding the role of its own military.

Tokyo said China was acting "unilaterally and without compromise", as it also highlighted concern about North Korea's nuclear programme and Russian moves in violence-wracked Ukraine.

The white paper accused Beijing of "raising concerns among the international community" as it ramped up criticism from last year's report, an annual summary of Japan's official view on defence matters.

"China, particularly over maritime issues, continues to act in an assertive manner, including coercive attempts at changing the status quo, and is poised to fulfil its unilateral demands without compromise," said the report entitled "Defense of Japan 2015".

The State Department has approved a possible sale of MK 7 AEGIS Weapon Systems , Undersea Warfare Systems and Cooperative Engagement Capability sensor netting systems, as well as support equipment and services. The proposed $1.5 billion sale would support Japan’s first two new destroyers based on modified Atago-class hulls, seeing delivery of equipment and services spread over a six or seven year period and Lockheed Martin operating as prime contractor. Japan is ultimately aiming to acquire eight Ballistic Missile Defense-capable destroyers, with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force already operating AEGIS systems on other platforms, including the Atago-class.

Japan is reportedly considering offering three modified Beechcraft TC-90 King Air patrol aircraft to the Philippines for use in maritime patrols. Japan currently uses the King Airs to train pilots, while the Philippines is competing claims by other regional powers in the South China Sea, including China. In order for the Japanese government to donate the aircraft, financial legislation will have to be amended, potentially opening up a channel for further equipment transfer to other powers contesting territory in the region.

Pentagon Says China Has Stepped Up Land Reclamation in South China Sea
Report says China has reclaimed 2,900 acres across disputed Spratly islands



China reportedly stepped up land reclamation projects in South China Sea
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/0...land-reclamation-projects-in-south-china-sea/

China’s land reclamation projects in the South China Sea have reportedly grown dramatically in the last few months and Beijing is patrolling the waters around its territorial claims to assert its power, according to the Pentagon issued on Thursday.

The Wall Street Journal, citing the newly released report, writes China has reclaimed 2,900 acres of land mass across the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea as of June. The territorial claims are up 50 percent in May, according to the report.

The U.S. fears the islands will be used for military purposes and could pose a threat to one of the world’s biggest commercial shipping routes as China claims land in what other countries see as international waters, according to the newspaper. Defense officials also say China’s assertiveness poses a risk of possible confrontation with the U.S.

The report comes about a month before Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to make a visit to Washington where the South China Sea will be among the issues at hand. The report says China’s development in the region has accelerated considerably, the Journal reports.

The U.S. has repeatedly questioned whether China’s actions have stopped after it had said in early August that it had ceased reclamation operations. Chinese embassy spokesman Zhu Haiquan told The Wall Street Journal on Thursday the projects stopped in June and the facilities being built on the islands include those for public good.

“China stands ready to open these facilities to other countries upon completion,” Zhu said. “We hope the U.S. side will view this in an objective and balanced way and respect regional countries’ efforts to maintain the peace and stability of the South China Sea.”


Before this year, defense officials thought Beijing only reclaimed about 500 acres of landmass to build the artificial islands. However, the lands are big enough for buildings and house equipment. One would be big enough to support a 3,000-foot runway.

Other Asian countries, including Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam, have laid claim to the islands as well. But China’s land reclamation projects have been more aggressive than those of its neighbors.

Vietnam has reclaimed 80 acres, Malaysia reclaimed 70 acres, the Philippines reclaimed 14 acres and Taiwan reclaimed eight acres, according to the Pentagon report.

China has also increased patrols on the disputed areas to “increase its effective control” over the islands, according to the report. China is also expanding the use of its Coast Guard to enforce its claims in the East and South China Seas.

The latest push from China has some U.S. military officials pushing the Pentagon to be more aggressive in countering China’s moves in the region. They’ve wanted more assertive maritime and air patrols to fly within 12 nautical mile territorial limit of some of the disputed lands China claims, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Earlier Thursday, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter said the military would fly and steam where and when it wanted, but it remained unclear if they’ve flown to the 12 nautical mile zone of the islands.








 
Joskus mietityttää onko Kiinanmeri Kiinan todellinen suunta. Entäs, jos Kiinan todellinen suunta on mongoli-invaasio kakkonen. Miljardille talouden romahduksesta raivostuneelle kiinalaiselle viitoitetaan suunta, että länsi on syyllinen, tuhotaan ne!! ja kaikki on, että jee, tosi hyvä ajatus.

Jos Kiinan talous haukkaa oikein isosti kakkaa niin teoriassa kansan huomion voisi siirtää johonkin sotimiseen, sen riski vain on siinä, että talous sakkaa entistä pahemmin ja Kiinan armeijan varusteluohjelma ei ole vielä saavuttanut sotavalmiutta länttä vastaan. Tietysti olisi parempi sotia vielä kun Obama on pressana.

Olen pohtinut tätä Kiinan armeijaa. Mielestäni sen rakenne viittaa siihen, että se on kommunistinen puolueen aseellinen siipi, joka on tarkoitettu sisäiseen järjestyksenpitoon sellaisissakin kovissa tapauksissa, että vastavallankumoukselliset olisivat saaneet käsiinsä panssaridivisioonan aseistuksen. Ne valmistautuu kukistamaan sisäisiä levottomuuksia. Ne on niin luottavaisia kykyynsä kukistaa sisäisiä levottomuuksia, että ne talloo mennen tullen kansan yli. Kiinan armeija ei vaikuta siltä, että sillä olisi kyky siirtää joukkoja ilmateitse ja meritse ja tukea niitä missä tahansa maailman kolkassa. Kiina ei pysty taistelemaan Afrikassa koska se ei pysty tukemaan paikalla olevia joukkoja eli Kiinan yritykset laajentaa kauemmas rajoistaan on melko helppo torpata. Kiinan uhka on suurin sen välittömille naapurimaille, kuten Etelä-Korealle ja Taiwanille ja mahdollisesti sitten niille Etelä-Kiinan merellä oleville maille. Kiinan tulevista pulmista suurin on varmaankin, että se tarvitsee elintilaa. Kiina voi toki kilpailla muslimeita vastaan maailman kiinalaistamisessa ihan vain antamalla väkensä muuttaa minne haluaa ja sitä kautta yrittää syntyvyyden kautta kiinalaistaa planeetta. Tuo muuttamisen ja syntyvyyden avulla maailmanvalloituksen tekeminen voidaan torpata maahanmuuttokriittisen vaalivoittojen ja heidän vaalilupaustensa täyttämisen avulla estämällä niiden muuttaminen tänne. Että nyt se riittää. Jos ne ei pääsekään tänne enään niin ne joutuu suuntaamaan muualle tai pysymään kotonaan ja kun ne niin tekee niin sehän kiristää tilannetta, kun siellä on miljardeja kuumapäisiä raavaita tappelunhaluisia uroksia, jotka ei pääse minnekään. Sehän muuttaminen tänne ei tosiaankaan ole mikään luonnonvoima. Kyllä ne ongelmat Euroopan sisällä voidaan estää yksinkertaisesti pysäyttämällä ne rajalle. Sellainen ei me voida niille mitään ne jyrää meitin-hysteria on aika aiheetonta. Jos mikään muu ei auta niin äänestetään sitten natsit valtaan. Annetaan niiden toteuttaa lopullinen ratkaisu. Kyllä niitä keinoja on, ei ne lopu.

Expert says China likely working on third airstrip in disputed South China Sea

China is "more likely than not" preparing to build a third airstrip in a disputed part of the South China Sea, an American expert said Monday.

Greg Poling of the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank told Reuters that satellite photographs taken over the Spratly Islands last week show construction taking place on Mischief Reef, one of seven artificial islands built by Beijing.

Poling said the images show a retaining wall around an area approximately 3,280 yards long, matching similar work by China on two other reefs in the Spratly archipelago. Satellite photographs from late June showed that China had almost finished a 3,280-yard airstrip on one of the reefs, known as Fiery Cross. Poling added that other photos showed work proceeding apace at the other reef, known as Subi.

"Clearly, what we have seen is going to be a 3,000-meter airstrip and we have seen some more work on what is clearly going to be some port facilities for ships," Poling told Reuters of the building taking place on Subi.

Reuters reported that the airstrips would be large enough to accommodate most Chinese military aircraft, and give Beijing the upper hand in the complicated Southeast Asian maritime disputes. Several of China's neighbors also claim the reefs — including U.S. ally the Philippines — which lie in one of the world's busiest shipping routes and are rich in fish and potential gas and oil reserves.

In particular, Poling said that three airstrips would allow China to mount "more or less constant" patrols over areas the Philippines has explored for oil and gas, as well as threaten all air traffic over the South China Sea. The U.S. has a policy of not taking sides in the territorial disputes, but it has declared it has a national interest in ensuring freedom of navigation and overflights.

On Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told Reuters that Beijing had "indisputable sovereignty over the Spratly Islands and claimed that China therefore had the right to establish military facilities there.

Pentagon spokesman Commander Bill Urban did not comment on Poling's analysis, but called on China to halt its ongoing land reclamation and construction projects in order to "ease tensions and create space for diplomatic solutions."

The ongoing Chinese buildup in the region is expected to be a key issue when Chinese President Xi Jinping visits Washington next week.

High-resolution satellite images of the South China Sea have revealed a colossal and rapid destruction of some of the world’s most biodiverse coral reefs as China races to turn the pristine habitats into military outposts.

Prof John McManus, a leading marine biologist who analysed the images, has told the Guardian the loss of thousands of acres of reef in recent years constitutes the quickest rate of permanent loss of coral reef area in human history.

“Our generation holds temporary responsibility for passing these highly diverse and incredibly beautiful coral reef atolls to future generations,” McManus says. “We have failed miserably.”

Japanese politicians scuffled on Thursday during a heated debate over a security bill that could see the military fight abroad for the first time in decades, after thousands rallied to voice their anger.

In scenes uncommon for Japan’s normally sedate parliament, members of the opposition and the ruling coalition pushed and shoved each other as a committee chairman was surrounded.

Tensions fan high after the committee vote was repeatedly delayed over Wednesday night, as opposition MPs blocked doorways and packed the corridors of parliament in protest.

Thirteen people were also reportedly arrested during the evening for “interfering with officers” during a rally of an estimated 13,000 people outside parliament in Tokyo.

Seven decades after its surrender ended World War II, Japan took its most significant step away from the pacifist foreign policy that shaped 70 years of its post-war history.


…

The bill passed on Friday does not change Article 9’s language. That would require a constitutional amendment and two-thirds support in both houses of the Diet, which Abe and the ruling Liberal Democratic Party lack. Instead, it reinterprets it to allow for “collective self-defense.”

Japanese forces will now be able to assist the U.S. and other allies if those allies were attacked, although there would still be limits on the scope and scale of Japanese assistance. The BBC notes, for example, that Japan could now shoot down a North Korean missile fired at the U.S. and provide logistical support to South Korea if Pyongyang invaded, but could not deploy Japanese troops to Korea.

US naval manoeuvres in South China Sea risk clash with Beijing


China expresses concern about reports that the US is preparing to send warships around the disputed Spratly islands

Officials in Beijing have expressed concern after the United States signalled it was poised to up the ante in the South China Sea by sending warships through waters claimed by China.

American navy vessels are preparing to sail through a 12-nautical mile zone around the disputed Spratly islands that China claims as its own territory, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, citing a senior US official.

Those manoeuvres are expected to begin over the next two weeks, the newspaper added.

Hua Chunying, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, said: “We hope the United States can look upon the current situation of the South China Sea from an objective and fair perspective and play a constructive role together with China in keeping the peace and stability in the South China Sea.”

“I believe the US side is extremely clear about China’s relevant principled stance,” Hua added.

An earlier report in Foreign Policy, which cited an anonymous defence official, claimed Washington was now determined to put on a “show of military might” in the South China Sea.

“It’s not a question of if, but when,” the official was quoted as saying.

Reports of the impendning manoeuvres suggest that US and Chinese officials failed to find any kind of resolution to the standoff in the South China Sea during Xi Jinping’s state visit to Washington last month.

Many experts believe relations between Washington and Beijing have hit their lowest point in years, with tussles and friction over a growing list of issues including cyberespionage, currency manipulation and human rights.


Pentagon officials have for months been urging the White House to take a more robust response to China’s controversial artificial island building campaign and military buildup in the South China Sea.

In May, Ashton Carter, the US defence secretary, said China’s actions were increasing “the risk of miscalculation or conflict” in the region, which is a key global shipping lane.

Those comments earned a rebuke from Beijing, with a foreign ministry spokesperson accusing Carter of “stirring up trouble and slinging accusations”.

At a joint press conference with Xi Jinping last month, Obama said the pair had engaged in “candid discussions” about the South China Sea.

“I conveyed to President Xi our significant concerns over land reclamation, construction and the militarisation of disputed areas, which makes it harder for countries in the region to resolve disagreements peacefully,” Obama said.

“I indicated that the United States will continue to sail, fly and operate anywhere that international law allows,” Obama added.

Xi said: “Islands in the South China Sea since ancient times are China’s territory.”

In a recent interview Orville Schell, the director of the Centre on US-China Relations, said the Obama administration was losing patience with China’s “very forceful, even sometimes belligerent” behaviour.

“I think Washington is probably at something of a tipping point moment with both China and Xi,” Schell said. “I think they are definitely toying with taking a much harder line.”

“What would be the effect of that? I don’t know. I think everybody agrees we have got to find a way to get along with China. But I think Washington may be questioning whether being accommodating, reasonable and [having] endless track two dialogues is actually accomplishing anything.”

“Sending in ships so soon after the summit [between Obama and Xi] is a sign I think of how poorly it went,” China expert Bill Bishop wrote in his Sinocismnewsletter on Friday.

“[It is] hard to see how this ends well, but the only other option for the US is to concede, which will materially damage US credibility in Asia, be viewed by[Chinese] policymakers as further evidence that the US is in terminal decline and be an additional impetus for Beijing to push harder against the US in Asia.”
