Russia and China Together Again, Gingerly
Though unhappy with some US policies, both need the West
Yu Bin
YaleGlobal, 6 September 2005
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio: For the first time since the former Soviet Union and China fought a border war in 1969, their armed forces are meeting face to face â?" not in anger, but rather to conduct land and sea military exercises. The collaboration, called "Peace Mission 2005," demonstrates the significant change in the East Asian geo-strategic situation, which has allowed the erstwhile enemies to come together. Still, there are clear limits for China and Russia in shaping their current "strategic partnership" into a military bloc.
Starting in late August at Russia''s Pacific outpost of Vladivostok, the unprecedented war games witnessed 9,000 Russian and Chinese troops conducting an eight-day, three-stage exercise along China''s northeastern coastline, which was not seen even in the Sino-Soviet "honeymoon" in the 1950s.

On the record, the joint drill was for SCO''s "anti-terrorist" goals, an all-purpose and convenient cover for almost all state activities in the post-9/11 world. The actual components of the Sino-Russian exercises â?" beach landing, parachuting, blockades at sea, dropping depth charges, firing anti-ship missiles from submarines, precision guided bombing from strategic bombers â?" however, were certainly oversized and of overkill capacity for any anti-terrorist operation. The drill''s locations were far removed from the land-locked Central Asia, where the Moscow-Beijing dominated Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) exercises its jurisdiction. While some Chinese commentators suggested that the terrain of the exercise areas were similar to Taiwan''s coast, the Russian media speculated about a joint occupation of North Korea if necessary.
The two continental powers repeatedly stated that their drills did not aim at any third party. Few in the region seemed to believe it. Through diplomatic and military channels, the US and its "littoral" allies had urged Russia and China to reduce the scope of the exercise, or even to cancel it altogether. China and Russia, nonetheless, went ahead with the exercise on August 18. The next day, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice delivered an unusually sharp comment stating China''s military buildup as "outsized for its regional interests."

Meanwhile, the United States and its allies matched the Sino-Russian drill with their own, and much larger, maneuvers. On August 7, the US Pacific Command launched its week-long Joint Air Sea Exercise 2005 in Okinawa and Guam. The year''s largest joint exercise outside the US, the drills involved more than 10,000 troops, more than 100 warplanes, and the USS Kitty Hawk carrier strike group. On August 22, South Korea and the United States kicked off a 12-day "Ulchi Focus Lens 2005" exercise, drawing 10,000 American and an undisclosed number of South Korean troops. Just one day before the Sino-Russian exercise, Taiwan staged a "routine" exercise to "repel" a simulated invasion by the Mainland. Also, the United States and Japan have scheduled the first-ever island defense exercise â?" code-named "Yama Sakura" â?" for early 2006.
In broader terms, the Russian-Chinese exercise was part of a more outward looking Sino-Russian strategic partnership. The annual summit in Moscow in late June issued the Joint Declaration on the International Order in the 21st Century, calling for adherence to international law and principles, a major role of the UN, multilateralism, equal dialogue, development, and a new security framework for the world.

These high principles for a desirable world order reflected genuine concerns in the post-9/11 world: the ever assertive foreign/defense policies of the Bush administration despite the bloodiest "peace" in Iraq; a steadily growing Japanese military power; the precarious Korean nuclear standoff; an almost unstoppable arms race across the Taiwan Strait; and a deluge of "color" revolutions across the former Soviet states. The US-Japan "2+2" conference, held on February 19, was seen as moving beyond its original goal of defending Japan to cover the situation across the Taiwan Strait and the Korean Peninsula.
These developments, past and present, have converged at a time when both continental states have traveled far away from their communist legacies.
Aside from the long-term constraints in relations with the US, Russia and China''s post-9/11 "honeymoon" with the Bush administration seems over. Although both nations continue to publicly echo the US anti-terror policy, they are concerned more about the US "hard" and "soft" activities around their peripheries. In a concrete move, the SCO''s annual summit meeting in July went as far as to call the US to set a timetable for closing its bases in SCO member states.

In bilateral terms, the joint exercise was in many respects an outcome of a much expanded military-to-military relationship, which, ironically, has been rather lopsided toward confidence-building and Russian arms sales to China. The two militaries actually do not share much in terms of operating principles and military doctrines. Nor do they have any idea how their multi-service and high-tech units and weapon platforms would communicate, let alone coordinate, with one another. Indeed, officers and men of the two sides are more proficient in English than in one anothers'' languages. The months leading to the drill also witnessed the sides bargaining for the format, scale, components, locations, and sequences of the exercise. In contrast, the maneuvers between the US and its Asian allies are far more integrated. The US dominance in the alliance relations, too, ensures operational efficiency of those drills.
Beneath the publicized highly positive statements from both sides for the first ever exercise were the not-so-overlapping goals. Beijing is obsessed with Taiwan. Russian Defense Minister Ivanov, however, publicly stated that the exercise did not mean Russia "is prepared to be involved in joint combat operations with China." If the "weapons-but-no-war" is Moscow''s bottom line, it makes sense this time for Russia to offer only "sufficient" forces (1,800 vs. China''s 7,000) and certain carefully chosen weapons systems. "We are not putting up everything we have for sale," said a high-ranking source in the Russian Defense Ministry. "The main thing is not to damage one''s own security." The choice of involving Tupolev-series strategic bombers in the drill was to turn these aging platforms into some profit rather than scrapping them. Meanwhile, Russia''s newer models never showed up. It remains to be seen how this will be reciprocated by the Chinese Air Force, whose quest for air superiority and ground support in future operations against Taiwan will likely be served by hundreds of Sukhoi-series heavy fighter/bombers.
Even with the "best-ever" military relations, Moscow and Beijing still need to deal with disappointing trade and societal relations. Last year, US-China trade was eight times greater than Sino-Russia trade (US$170 billion versus US$21 billion). Further, both societies seem more geared to the West than to each other. In the far eastern areas of Russia, distrust and dislike of anything Chinese seem permanent â?" despite the fact that their 4,300-kilometer border has, for the first time in history, become a non-problem.
Ultimately, the Russian-Chinese drill is expected to serve a much larger politico-strategic goal of maintaining stability in Northeast Asia. In pursuing this goal, the two sides continue to engage diplomatically and politically through bilateral and multilateral interfaces such as the Six-Party Talks on the Korean nuclear crisis. With both dependent on the US and the West for their economic well-being, their military relations can only remain an auxiliary tool in their toolbox.

India orders 6 Scorpene submarines
Date: 7/9/2005
Source: Reuters
India has ordered six submarines developed by a group of French and Spanish companies in a deal worth 2.4 billion euros ($3.01 billion), newspaper La Tribune reported on its web site on Tuesday.
The order for Scorpene submarines will generate revenue of 1.2 billion euros for Armaris, a unit of French shipbuilder DCN and defence electronics group Thales, the paper said.
Officials at Thales were not immediately available for comment, but a DCN spokeswoman cautioned, "The Indian government had not notified Armaris of its approval."
The vessels are being developed in cooperation with Izar of Spain.

Singapore says in final negotiations with Boeing over F-15 order
AFP / AFX
Tue, 6 Sep 2005, 09:24
SINGAPORE: Singapore is in the final stages of negotiations with Boeing Co for its new generation of fighters, indicating the US-made F-15 has won over the French-built Rafale, the defense ministry said.
It said in a statement it is ''now in the process of seeking final clarifications and contract negotiation with Boeing'' for the contract, estimated in the industry to be worth about 1 bln usd.
The Rafale and F-15 were earlier shortlisted for the contract.
The ministry statement comes two weeks after the US defense department notified the US Congress of the possible sale to Singapore of weapons, logistics and training as part of a proposed F-15 fighter deal.
The weapons include advanced supersonic air-to-air missiles and satellite-guided bombs.
The new fighters will replace a squadron of Singapore''s aging A4SU Super Skyhawk fighter jets.
''This proposed sale includes weapons and logistics for the F-15 aircraft,'' the defense security and cooperation agency said in a statement.
The defense agency said the proposed sale was worth 741 mln usd if all options are exercised.
The weapons include 200 AIM 120C advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles (AMRAAM); 50 joint direct attack munitions (JDAMs) with 500-pound warheads; 30 AGM 154A-1 joint standoff weapons with 500-pound warheads; 30 AGM 154C joint standoff weapons; and 200 AIM 9X Sidewinder missiles.

Amid Unrest, Thailand Names Muslim To Head Army
By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE, BANGKOK
A Muslim will head the Army of mainly Buddhist Thailand for the first time, the government announced Sept. 8, as the military struggles to curb an Islamic insurgency in its southernmost provinces.
Gen. Sonthi Boonyaratglin will replace retiring Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan, according to an official announcement read over national radio.
Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said his government nominated Sonthi to the post and King Bhumibol Adulyadej endorsed the move Sept. 8.
Sonthi, 59, graduated from Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy and was commissioned to the Royal Army Infantry Corps. Among other posts, he recently was commanding general of the elite Special Warfare Command.
The Bangkok Post had endorsed Sonthi for the post, saying he could help counter the impression that the government discriminates against Muslims.
The move came as part of an annual military reshuffle that saw 620 officers changing posts, including a promotion for controversial Lt. Gen. Pisarn Wattanawongkiri.
Pisarn, now a full general, was blamed in an independent investigation into the death of 87 Muslim protesters in Tak Bai district last October.
Most of the dead protesters were crushed or suffocated when security forces piled them horizontally into overcrowded trucks, drawing international concern over Thaksin?Ts handling of the insurgency in the Muslim-majority south.
Nearly 900 people have died in 20 months of violence in the south. Analysts and authorities have said the violence is the work of a mix of Islamic separatists, organized criminals and drug traffickers.

Chinese fisherman killed as Indonesian navy fires
By Hu Xiao (China Daily)
Updated: 2005-09-22 06:21
An Indonesian warship opened fire on a Chinese fishing boat on Monday, killing one Chinese crewman and wounding two others, the Chinese Embassy in Jakarta confirmed yesterday.
The incident happened in Indonesian waters in the Arafuru Sea off Papua Island.
Counsellor Yu Hongyao at China''s embassy told China Daily by telephone that China was "astonished and strongly dissatisfied" with the actions the Indonesian navy had taken against ship Fuyuan 123.
"We have made solemn representations to the Indonesian side, expecting it to inform us of the latest developments," he said.
The Chinese Embassy knows the identities of the dead and injured but has not released their names, he said, adding that the damaged ship belongs to the Fujian Marine Fishery General Company.
The incident occurred at 10:50 am on Monday when four Chinese fishing boats suspected of illegal fishing were intercepted by the Indonesian navy, local media quoted Toni Syaiful, press officer of Indonesia''s eastern fleet, as saying.
The Indonesian warship fired 13 shots altogether, hitting one of the boats. Three other fishing vessels escaped the scene, Syaiful said.
The damaged ship and the remaining 13 crew members are now in detention at a naval base in the Papua coastal town of Merauke.
"We''re informed that the health of the detained crew members is OK, and we have asked the Indonesian side to treat them humanely," said Yu.

Vnexpress có 1 đoạn tin về Hải Quân Indo bắn tàu cá TQ. Xem mà hả hê quá Phải chi VN mình nằm xa xa thằng TQ 1 tí nhỉ, yếu thì yếu nhưng gặp chuyện là phơ luôn như Indo vừa làm, các bác nhỉ

Lúc nãy lang thang trên mạng thấy cái này :
http://vnkronline.net/viewtopic.php?p=43888&sid=f3fe92fa768b565eceb2125b526064dd
"...Phần đặc biệt nhất của Cam Ranh là 4 chiếc tàu khinh hạm. Sơn nửa đen nửa trắng, trông thấp và thuôn nhọn, giống như tàu cánh ngầm chạy Hải Phòng ?" Cát Bà hoặc Saigòn ?" Vũng Tàu. Tàu đạt tốc độ tối đa 40 hải lý, được trang bị 4 tên lửa ở 2 bên thành tàu, có thể chạy cấp tập ra tới Trường Sa sau 6-7 tiếng. Nhưng tốn nhiên liệu khủng khiếp, nghe nói chỉ cần đề pa chạy vòng quanh vịnh một chút là đã mất mấy triệu tiền dầu. Nghe kể lại tàu được mua lại từ phần chia cho Ucraina từ Hạm đội Hắc Hải, nên trông cũng khá hiện đại và bắt mắt. Biên đội ( chưa được hải đội ) chỉ có 10 người."
Bác nào biết đây là loại tầu gì không nhỉ. Trang bị 4 tên lửa 2 bên thành tầu thì chắc là Taratul nhưng hình dáng có vẻ không giống như mô tả.
Mà cái tay viết bài này cũng bất cẩn quá. Vũ khí trang bị trên đảo mà cứ nói khơi khơi, TQ không tốn xu nào cũng bíêt.
