☆ Surge and Swarm: How China’s Ships Control the South China Sea
  + stars: | 2023-11-09 | by ( Niharika Mandhana | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
A Chinese coast guard ship attached itself like a shadow to a group of boats from the Philippines, trailing them for hours. The Philippines had sent two wooden boats and two coast guard vessels to resupply an unusual outpost in the South China Sea: a decrepit World War-II era ship preventing Beijing from taking control of a reef called Second Thomas Shoal.

Located near Taiwan and the South China Sea, the Philippines has found itself at the center of a global effort to counter China. WSJ’s Shelby Holliday traveled there to learn about the nation’s strategic importance and its growing ties with the U.S. Photo: David FangSINGAPORE—A dispute between China and the Philippines, a U.S. ally, is rapidly escalating over an unusual military outpost: a World War-II era ship that is leaky, riddled with holes, covered in rust and sitting atop a reef in the South China Sea. The decrepit ship, the BRP Sierra Madre, and the small detachment of marines aboard are defending the Philippines’ claim to Second Thomas Shoal, located about 100 miles off its west coast. The country grounded the ship on the reef 2½ decades ago to stave off China’s expanding control over the South China Sea.

An image from a video released by the Philippine armed forces shows a Chinese coast guard ship after bumping into a Philippine vessel. Photo: Associated PressA Chinese coast guard ship collided with a Philippine vessel it was seeking to block in the South China Sea, the Philippines said, marking an escalation in tensions between Beijing and the U.S. ally in a volatile area. The Philippine boat was on its way to deliver supplies to an outpost the country maintains at Second Thomas Shoal, about 100 nautical miles off its coast. A small detachment of marines lives there, on a dilapidated World War-II era ship the Philippines deliberately ran aground in 1999 to assert its rights. China claims Second Thomas Shoal, as it does much of the South China Sea, and calls the presence of the long-grounded ship illegal.

☆ Ukraine War Shows Difficulty of Large-Scale Cyberattacks, NSA Director Says

Gen. Paul Nakasone, who heads the U.S. Cyber Command, says American authorities have focused on securing U.S. infrastructure and elections. SINGAPORE—U.S. adversaries have become more capable of carrying out sophisticated cyberattacks, but the Ukraine war shows how difficult it is to conduct large-scale operations against critical infrastructure, said National Security Agency Director Gen. Paul Nakasone . “Many thought that Russia—which is a sophisticated actor—was going to conduct significant cyberattacks,” Gen. Nakasone told The Wall Street Journal on the sidelines of a defense technology summit in Singapore. “They’re not as easy to do.”

In early February, a Philippine coast guard vessel approached a small outpost in the South China Sea when it was hit by green laser beams that temporarily blinded its crew. The source was a Chinese coast guard ship, which Philippine authorities said approached dangerously close. A few weeks earlier, the U.S. military accused a Chinese fighter pilot of another unsafe action over the waterway—flying within 20 feet of the nose of a U.S. Air Force aircraft.
☆ China’s Global Port Investments Give Rise to Security Worries

Security concerns related to Chinese investments in overseas ports are mounting as the country’s firms acquire more stakes at shipping hubs around the world and geopolitical tensions rise. Chinese companies have expanded investments at foreign ports in recent years and now run major container terminals in locations including Belgium, Israel, Spain, Sri Lanka and the United Arab Emirates. All told, Chinese and Hong Kong-based firms hold stakes in terminal leases or concessions at 95 foreign ports, according to research by Isaac B. Kardon of the U.S. Naval War College and Wendy Leutert of Indiana University.
☆ China Is Capable of Blockading Taiwan, U.S. Navy Commander Says
  + stars: | 2022-09-19 | by ( Niharika Mandhana | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Vice Adm. Karl Thomas, commander of the U.S. Seventh Fleet, said he sees China’s recent actions around Taiwan as an extension of the ‘might makes right’ mentality. China’s armed forces are capable of blockading Taiwan, a senior U.S. Navy official said, pointing to the size of the country’s navy, which is the world’s largest and growing at a rapid pace. “They have a very large navy, and if they want to bully and put ships around Taiwan, they very much can do that,” Vice Adm. Karl Thomas , commander of the U.S. Seventh Fleet, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
☆ Aung San Suu Kyi to Serve 33 Years in Prison After Series of Trials
  + stars: | 2021-02-01 | by ( Niharika Mandhana | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Lawyers for Aung San Suu Kyi, seen in a file photo, have said that the cases against her are politically motivated. A court in junta-ruled Myanmar found deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi guilty of corruption and handed down a seven-year sentence Friday—the last in a series of verdicts against her that add up to a total of 33 years in prison. The junta brought a host of charges against Ms. Suu Kyi after ousting her in a coup on Feb. 1, 2021. The allegations ranged from illegally importing walkie talkies and violating pandemic-linked restrictions to corruption and election fraud. Human-rights groups have called the trials a sham designed to lock up 77-year-old Ms. Suu Kyi for life and remove her as a political threat to the military.
