Carl Vinson News

https://www.upi.com/topic/Carl_Vinson/

Sept. 7 (UPI) -- The USS Carl Vinson has become the first non-forward deployed carrier to port at Yokosuka, Japan in nearly 10 years.

The stop at the port, located south of Tokyo, is intended to give the 70 aircraft and 5,000 crew members a chance to rest after being away for several months, the U.S. Navy said on Tuesday.
In June, the Nimitz-class, nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was in Hawaii for training purposes, following a 17-month maintenance period in Washington state where it received upgrades to accommodate the F-35C Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter.

Former US admiral says China 'their own worst enemy' as tensions rise in South China Sea

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-13/ ... /100452732

Australia and its allies are trying to determine just how far Xi Jinping is willing to go to assert Chinese dominance in the South China Sea. (Xinhua via AP)

The Olympics, the fall of Kabul and the damage wrought by Delta have all occupied the world's focus in the past few months.

But in the waters to Australia's north, foreign navies have been gathering and critical diplomatic deals have been done.

All to ensure China does not control the South China Sea through direct force or by intimidation.

Retired Admiral Harry Harris says Australia and its allies should be concerned about China's aggressive actions in the South China Sea and elsewhere. (Reuters: Yuri Gripas)
"I think that it behooves all of us who are like-minded countries, who support the idea of a free and open Indo-Pacific," former US Indo-Pacific Commander and former US ambassador to South Korea, retired Admiral Harry Harris, told 7.30.

"We should be concerned about China's aggressive actions, not only in the South China Sea, but elsewhere."

Beijing's new rules for navy and coast guard

Beginning on September 1, Beijing's state-run media reported the nation's coast guard now has the power to demand foreign ships declare certain cargoes when travelling through waters it claims.

The Global Times reported China's navy or coast guard had "the power to dispel or reject a vessel's entry … if [it] is found to post a threat to China's national security".

It seemed innocuous – a safety measure.

But it is being interpreted as a threat to interdict and board ships in waters deemed international by the United Nations.

Just as China engaged in economic coercion with Australia, on the high seas a Chinese ship could target one country's ships to send a signal to others.,

After calling Xi, Biden considers pressuring China over trade, Taiwan

https://supchina.com/2021/09/13/after-c ... de-taiwan/

A day after Joe Biden had an apparently amicable phone call with Xi Jinping, the Biden administration was reported to be considering multiple moves that would strain U.S.-China relations.
..........
Second, changing the name of Taiwan’s de facto embassy in Washington, D.C., from “Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office” (台北经济文化代表处) to “Taiwan Representative Office” (台湾代表处): The Financial Times reported that the Biden administration is “seriously considering” a request from Taiwan, made formally in March, to make this change.
..........
What if the U.S. followed through on Taiwan’s request? Zhao declined to provide details, but Hú Xījìn 胡锡进, the mouth-frothing editor of the Global Times tabloid, was happy to fill them in:
“At the very least, Beijing will recall its ambassador to the U.S.,” Hu claimed, going on to predict that China would also retaliate with “economic and military actions,” including flying fighter jets over Taiwan.
An editorial from Hu’s paper (in English, Chinese) added that China “should impose…an economic blockade on [Taiwan], depending on the circumstances.”

Biden 'seriously considering' Taiwan office name change

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Biden administration is reportedly considering allowing Taiwan officials to include "Taiwan" in the name of its de facto embassy in the U.S. capital.

The Financial Times on Saturday (Sept. 11) cited multiple sources as stating that the White House is "seriously considering" granting a request by Taiwan to change the name of its representative office in Washington from the “Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office” (TECRO) to the “Taiwan Representative Office.” According to the sources, White House Asia adviser Kurt Campbell supports the name change.

Taiwanese fighter jets landed on a makeshift runway on a road on Wednesday as annual drills reached their peak, practising skills that would be needed in the event of an attack by China.

In exercises overseen by President Tsai Ing-wen, three aircraft – an F-16, French-made Mirage and a Ching-kuo Indigenous Defence Fighter plus an E-2 Hawk-Eye early warning aircraft – landed in rural southern Pingtung county on a road specially designed to be straight and flat for rapid conversion into a runway.

China has been ramping up its military pressure against the island it claims as “sacred” Chinese territory, hoping to force the democratically elected government to accept Beijing’s sovereignty, including with repeated exercises near Taiwan.

Taiwan’s air force scrambles almost daily to intercept Chinese aircraft that fly into the island’s air defence zone, mostly close to the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands at the top part of the South China Sea.

USA och Storbritannien ska förse Australien med atomubåtar

Kinas militära upprustning och alltmer ambitiösa territoriella anspråk i regionen Indo-Pacific har lett till något av en kapprustning i området. Utvecklingen tog ännu ett steg denna vecka, genom offentliggörandet av ett samarbete enligt vilket USA och Storbritannien ska förse Australien med atomubåtar.

Säkerhetssamarbetet AUKUS innefattar etableringen av kanaler de tre länderna emellan för att dela information och utveckla ny teknik inom områden som cybersäkerhet, artificiell intelligens och kvantdator.

Än viktigare så innebär pakten alltså även att Australien ska förses med teknik för att på egen hand kunna bygga kärnkraftsdrivna ubåtar.

Samarbetet är av unik karaktär, då USA bara har delat med sig av denna teknik en gång tidigare. Nämligen till just Storbritannien, i ett avtal från 1958 som fortfarande anses utgöra en av grundbultarna i den så kallade “särskilda relation” mellan de två länderna.

China opposes European Parliament's interference in Taiwan affairs

http://en.people.cn/n3/2021/0918/c90000-9898430.html

(Xinhua) 15:23, September 18, 2021
BEIJING, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese mainland spokesperson on Saturday urged the European Parliament and its certain bodies to exercise caution in words and deeds on Taiwan-related issues, reiterating that there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is a part of China.
Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, made the remarks when commenting on a recent report issued by the European Parliament that contains negative content related to Taiwan.
China firmly opposes the content that runs counter to the one-China principle, a consensus of the international community, and the European side's solemn commitment on the Taiwan question that it made when establishing diplomatic relations with China, said Zhu. "It is a gross interference in China's internal affairs."
Zhu also warned Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party authority not to misjudge the situation. Any attempts relying on external forces to seek "Taiwan independence" are doomed to fail, she added.

Detta ger ockå effekter i Europa:

"France has been described as "furious" over Australia’s decision to cancel an order for submarines worth "billions of euros." Australia scrapped the order of French submarine technology in favour of a new alliance with the US and UK which will see the Australian Navy kitted out with new nuclear-powered subs. Correspondent Teri Schultz told DW News that President Emmanuel Macron was not the only European leader that was angry at being left in the dark about the AUUKUS deal."

Fransmännen kan vara långsinta, och de har en ganska tung röst inom EU. Så detta kan påverka hur EU ser på Kina Vs. Australien.

Taiwan Applies to Join Trans-Pacific Free Trade Area, Days After China

https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/ ... 33158.html

Taiwan on Wednesday applied to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), days after China put in its bid to join the 11-nation trade pact.

The democratic island has been negotiating unofficially with CPTPP member countries, and plans to amend some of its laws in line with requirements under the deal, economic affairs minister Wang Mei-hua told the Central News Agency (CNA).

The CPTPP was signed by 11 countries including Australia, Canada, Chile, Japan, and New Zealand in 2018. Before that, it was known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership and seen as an important economic counterweight to China’s regional influence.
