Recently it was reported in sections of the media that the United States and India have held talks about conducting joint naval patrols that could possibly include the disputed South China Sea.
The U.S. and Indian government officials were quick to dismiss the report. Washington suggested that while the U.S. and India have a shared vision of peace, stability and prosperity in Asia, the two countries were not planning joint maritime patrols in the Indian Ocean or South China Sea. New Delhi also argued that there was no change in India’s policy of joining international military efforts only under the U.N.… Seguir leyendo »
The Indian Ocean may be the only ocean named for a country, but it’ s still heavily contested territory. Both China and India, who have major strategic interests there, are suspicious of each other. Their struggle for leadership in the “emerging world” will play out for decades and all around the globe, but today the Indian Ocean is Ground Zero.
The South China Sea is home to overlapping claims by China, the Philippines, and other countries in the region. And the Arctic Ocean, increasingly, has seen a build-up of U.S. and Russian troops, lured by the possibility of billions of barrels of untapped oil.… Seguir leyendo »
China esta subvirtiendo el status quo en los mares del Sur y del Este de China, en su frontera con la India e incluso en relación con las corrientes de agua transfronterizas... y todo ello sin disparar un solo tiro. Así como en el decenio de 1950 arrebató territorio a este lado del Himalaya lanzando invasiones furtivas, China está lanzando guerras sigilosas contra sus vecinos asiáticos que amenazan con desestabilizar toda la región. Cuanto más poder económico ha amasado China, mayor ha llegado a ser su ambición por alterar el status quo territorial.
A lo largo de todo el ascenso de China de la pobreza a una relativa prosperidad y poder económico mundial, los fundamentos de su doctrina política y estratégica han permanecido en gran medida inalterables.… Seguir leyendo »
With China’s “peaceful rise” giving way to a more muscular approach, Beijing has broadened its “core interests” and exhibited a growing readiness to take risks. As if to highlight its new multidirectional assertiveness, China’s recent occupation of a 12-mile-wide Indian border area close to where the borders of India, Pakistan and China converge has coincided with its escalating challenge to Japan’s decades-old control of the Senkaku Islands.
China is aggressively conducting regular patrols to solidify its sovereignty claims in the South and East China seas and to furtively enlarge its footprint in the Himalayan borderlands. While its navy and a part of its air force focus on asserting Chinese sovereignty claims in the seas, the army stays active in the Himalayas, nibbling at territory.… Seguir leyendo »
Las tensiones en aumento con Japón, Vietnam y Filipinas en torno a las islas del mar de China Meridional y el mar de China Oriental no han impedido que una China cada vez más enérgica inicie otro frente mediante una incursión militar en la disputada e imponente frontera himalaya. En la noche del 15 de abril, un pelotón del Ejército Popular de Liberación (PLA, por sus siglas en inglés) entró sigilosamente cerca de la triple frontera entre China, India y Pakistán, estableció un campamento 19 kilómetros dentro del territorio controlado por India, y dejó al gobierno indio ante la potencial pérdida de un altiplano vital y estratégico de 750 kilómetros cuadrados.… Seguir leyendo »
The Pakistani government early this month gave its nod to a proposal for Chinese government-owned China Overseas Port Holdings Ltd. to purchase control of Gwadar port from Singapore’s PSA International, which had won the contract in 2007 to operate the port for 40 years.
With this, operational control of the strategic deep-water Gwadar port will go to China. New Delhi’s reaction was as confused as ever with the Indian defense minister describing it as a matter of “serious concern” for India, but the external affairs minister suggested that India should not “overreact to everything that Pakistan does or everything that China is involved in.”… Seguir leyendo »
