TAIPEI, Taiwan – Taiwan's coastguard said Monday that one of its vessels used water cannon this month to drive off a Vietnamese fishing boat near disputed islands in the South China Sea.

Two Vietnamese fishing boats were sighted on January 6 some 2.5 nautical miles (around 4,600 meters) off Taiping Island, an Taiwan-administered islet in the Spratlys, the coastguard said in a statement.

The Spratly islands are also claimed in part or in whole by Vietnam, China, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei.

The two Taiwanese coastguard boats, which have been deployed there since December to replace smaller vessels, scrambled to drive off the Vietnamese boats.

One left while the second refused and instead attempted to zigzag. One coastguard vessel opened fire with water cannon because of fears it might be rammed, the statement said.

While denying accusations in Vietnamese media that Taiwanese coastguards had enforced the law outside their territorial waters, the coastguard tried to keep the event low-profile.

"That was a regular law-enforcement practice in a sensitive area," one coastguard official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

China is seen by other claimants as the biggest threat in the South China Sea.

The Philippines and Vietnam have complained that China is becoming increasingly aggressive in its actions in the area - such as harassing fishermen - and also through bullying diplomatic tactics.

As part of efforts to strengthen defense capabilities, Taiwan late last year inaugurated a solar-powered lighthouse, an expanded airstrip and a pier on Taiping Island.

Ambassador refutes China’s unconvincing arguments about East Sea
VNA MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 2016 - 21:33:00

Jakarta (VNA) – Vietnamese Ambassador to Indonesia Hoang Anh Tuan penned an article recently published in the Jakarta Post that refutes the unconvincing arguments made by Chinese Ambassador to ASEAN Xu Bu claiming China’s sovereignty over the East Sea.

Xu Bu’s arguments were written in his article “Maintaining peace and stability in the East Sea” that was also published in the Jakarta Post.

Tuan said “Having completed the construction and installation phase of developing artificial islands over the reefs and rocks it had illegally occupied in the Truong Sa (Spratly), on January 1 China began conducting test flights of civilian aircraft on Vietnam’s Chu Thap (Fiery Cross) Reef, underscoring Beijing’s intention to continue its occupation and domination of an area critical to Southeast Asian commerce and world trade, as well as navigation of the high seas”.

Worse still, from January 1-8, China conducted 46 flights in the Ho Chi Minh City Flight Information Region (FIR) managed and controlled by Vietnam.

“This violates not only Vietnam’s sovereignty, but also regulations such as the 1944 Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation and its annexes concerning rules of the air, especially Annex 2 and Annex 11, thus threatening the safety of international flights over this area, and driving home the extent to which China is prepared to turn its back on such international agreements”.

Clearly, China’s actions contravene its statement that the construction of artificial islands in the East Sea does not affect the freedom and safety of navigation and overflight in the East Sea, and that peace and stability in the area is still guaranteed, he said.

The article also pointed out that China’s construction and reinforcement of the artificial islands in the Truong Sa goes against the spirit of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC), which focuses on maintaining the status quo and discouraging acts that might further complicate the situation.

The ambassador went on to list some c oncrete deeds that will help untangle the challenges that the East Sea represents to peace and stability in ASEAN.

First, China needs to stop all construction work aimed at creating artificial islands and China must cease acts that alter the status quo and militarise the East Sea.

China should commit to the maintenance of the status quo, and quickly terminate the construction of an airport on Chu Thap Reef, since this threatens the sovereignty of Vietnam, peace and stability in the region, and freedom of navigation and overflight in the East Sea.

China should fully implement the DOC, reach an agreement with ASEAN on the Code of Conduct in the East Sea at the earliest opportunity and in a constructive manner, and commit to resolving disputes on the basis of international law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

These are three initial but essential steps that will go a long way toward assuring peace, stability and security for the Southeast Asian region, which of course would serve the long-term interests of China as well, he concluded.-VNA

Vietnam calls on Chinese Taiwan to end sovereignty violations
VNA THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 2016


f.jpg

Hanoi (VNA) – The Taiwanese leader’s visit to Ba Binh island in Vietnam’s Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelago seriously violates Vietnam’s sovereignty and runs counter to the Taiwanese side’s recent statements hoping to contribute to maintaining peace and stability in the East Sea.

The statement was made by Foreign Ministry Spokesman Le Hai Binh on January 28 in reply to reporters’ queries on Vietnam’s response to the Taiwanese leader Ma Ying-jeou’s visit to Ba Binh island on the same day.

“Once again, Vietnam confirms that she has a full legal foundation and historical evidence asserting her indisputable sovereignty over Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagoes,” said Binh.

Vietnam resolutely opposes and requests Chinese Taiwan to immediately end its violations of Vietnam’s sovereignty, as well as, not to repeat similar actions, which accelerate tensions and complicate the situation in the East Sea, he added.-VNA

Very nice. The Filipino side will have to update their submissions to the Tribunal significantly, then. LOL.

Activities on the part of the ROC in the SCS is always news to me, to be honest. I wonder what the DPP will do when they take office.

Taiwan (China) has always been publicly less vocal, but, nonetheless, officially, remained rather steadfast on historical titles and claims.

Here is from Taiwan's Statement on the SCS dated 2015/7/16:

With regard to the South China Sea, which has been in the international spotlight of late, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of ChinaTaiwanreiterates its position as follows:
1.Whether from the perspectives of history, geography, or international law, the NanshaSpratlyIslands, Shisha ParacelIslands, Chungsha Islands Macclesfield Bank, and Tungsha PratasIslands, as well as their surrounding waters, are an inherent part of ROC territory and waters. As the ROC enjoys all rights to these island groups and their surrounding waters in accordance with international law, the ROC government does not recognize any claim to sovereignty over, or occupation of, these areas by other countries, irrespective of the reasons put forward or methods used for such claim or occupation.

2.The South China Sea islands were first discovered, named, and used, as well as incorporated into national territory by the Chinese. In 1938 and 1939, Japan illegally occupied the Tungsha Pratas, Shisha Paracel, and Nansha SpratlyIslands. On March 30, 1939, Japan integrated what it called “Shinnan Gunto” comprising some of the Nansha SpratlyIslandsinto Takao Prefecture today known as Kaohsiung Citythrough Announcement No. 122 of the Taiwan Governor-General’s Office. In 1946, following World War II, the ROC government reclaimed the Tungsha Pratas, Shisha Paracel, and Nansha SpratlyIslands, erecting stone markers on major islands and garrisoning some. In December 1947 it issued the revised names of the South China Sea islands and the Location Map of the South China Sea Islands, which delineate the scope of ROC territory and waters in the region. Furthermore, the San Francisco Peace Treaty, which entered into effect on April 28, 1952, as well as the Treaty of Peace between the ROC and Japan which was signed that same day, together with other international legal instruments, reconfirmed that the islands and reefs in the South China Sea occupied by Japan should be returned to the ROC. In the several decades since, the fact that the ROC owns and exercises effective control over these islands has been recognized by foreign governments and international organizations.

3.Taiping Island Itu Aba, the largest 0.5 square kmof the naturally formed Nansha SpratlyIslands, has been garrisoned by ROC troops since 1956. In the same year, the ROC government established the Defense Zone of the Nansha SpratlyIslands on Taiping Island Itu Aba. In February 1990, by executive decree, the Executive Yuan Cabinetof the ROC put Taiping Island Itu Abaunder the administrative jurisdiction of Qijin District of Kaohsiung City. For the past six decades, ROC military and civilian personnel have dwelled on Taiping Island Itu Aba, conducting their respective missions while making use of and developing its natural resources. Taiping Island Itu Abahas groundwater wells, natural vegetation, and phosphate ore and fishery resources. Moreover, personnel stationed on the island cultivate vegetables and fruit and rear livestock. In 1959, personnel built the Guan Yin Temple, dedicated to the Bodhisattva of Compassion. From legal, economic, and geographic perspectives, Taiping IslandItu Abaindisputably qualifies as an “island” according to the specifications of Article 121 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea UNCLOS, and can sustain human habitation and economic life of its own; it is thus categorically not a “rock”. The ROC government will firmly defend this fact. Any claims by other countries which aim to deny this fact will not impair the legal status of Taiping Island Itu Abaand its maritime rights based on UNCLOS.
 
Chinese Navy has found fresh water on Fiery Cross Reef, the following text is copied from 南海研究论坛:

今天上午开会
刚听军方一工程技术专家说的
这位专家以前记过一等功
非常专业靠谱的一个人

本月中旬
科研人员选择永暑全岛0.6平方公里范围内
27个点位进行了钻探勘测
在其中11个点位探获了淡水
并且出水量较大
水质目前已达到灌溉用水标准:
可用于绿化、家畜养殖等7 t
更重要的是岛中部的个别点位
出水已接近饮用标准

专家说
本次确认新建岛屿上出现地下淡水
战略意义十分重大
为未来岛屿森林化:
改善岛上驻军和群众生活质量
甚至工农业发展都提供了重要基础条件
在世界上也是一项开创性课题

目前是对永暑岛淡水资源的首次勘测
只是前期调研性质.
短期内并无任何永暑地下淡水开采计划
今后将大力加强研究投入
评估人工岛地下淡水资源的精确储量
密切跟踪水位、水质等参数的变化动态
为将来必要时开发利用积累科学资料
同时将在其他岛屿开展类似研究工作
此事应该不算泄密
希望能让大家开心一下

  ■见习记者 李磊
  每当“三沙一号”缓缓驶入永兴岛,很多第一次来到三沙的人都会被眼前的景象所震惊:整个岛礁上工程车辆轰鸣、宛若一个大工地,工地外的区域道路宽阔笔直、一栋栋建筑拔地而起,这幅画面完全颠覆了此前很多人心中艰苦的不毛之地的印象。

  如今在三沙,上学有学校,看病有医院,用电有太阳能,娱乐有广播电视网络,健身有体育馆,购物有商业街……

  从2012年7月三沙设市伊始,年轻的三沙市以一天也不耽误的精神推进基础设施建设,三年多的时间过去了,再看三沙,一个个项目建成使用,一个个新项目又开工建设,岛上居民生活服务设施的日趋完善,越来越多的三沙人感受到,“幸福三沙”的概念并非空泛,而是真正实实在在!

  “海岛别墅” 让渔民告别日晒雨淋

  尽管已经临近春节,可永乐群岛银屿社区上依然异常繁忙,碧波环绕的三沙银屿岛礁上机器轰鸣,烈日下,挖掘机、工程车在工地上频繁出入,工人忙得热火朝天。在银屿岛礁上,居委会综合楼、渔民定居点项目主体建筑正紧锣密鼓地施工,去年10月,这些建筑正式开工打下地基,如今建筑的框架已初见雏形。

  银屿居委会主任李遴君介绍,过去的渔民临时居住点不仅不抗风雨,还异常湿热,一遇到台风天气,就要加固房屋,以免被台风摧毁。目前银屿社区有常住渔民19人,能住进钢筋水泥结构房屋,几乎成了这些坚守祖宗海的渔民最大的梦想。

  现在,这“住”的幸福,让渔民深深感受到了党和政府对这片小岛的挂记和关怀。

  正在建设中的银屿渔民定居点居民楼,只是三沙诸多岛礁上的一部分,除永兴岛外,三沙其他岛礁驻岛渔民的住房需求也将得到解决。按照计划,赵述岛渔民定居点一期(27户)在2016年12月全部完成。特别是去年,永兴岛上的三栋渔民住宅楼竣工,并全部完成了内部装修,这些住宅楼也是各个岛礁渔民居住环境的标杆。

  走进这些装修一新的住宅楼内,不少人都会为现在渔民的居住环境感慨:楼内铺有明亮的瓷砖,安装了结实的门窗,每个卧室都安有温馨的灯饰,洗手间内布置了现代化的卫浴。一楼为厨房、餐厅,二楼为卧室的室内设计格局。

  据了解,在三沙实施基础设施建设面临着“三高”的挑战:温度高、盐分高、湿度高。外来的建筑材料要重新检测,看是否耐高温、高湿;建筑材料运上岛礁既要协调运力,保证材料供应,又要照顾好工人的健康,免受热带岛礁气候影响。综合计算下来,三沙的建筑成本可能属全国最高。

  越来越多的设施

  让居民生活得更好

  解决了住的问题,三沙岛礁居民饮食、出行等基础设施建设也成为基础设施建设重中之重,对岛上的居民来说,这些设施的建设,无疑是更加看得见摸得着的幸福。

  设市三年来,三沙关于民用基础设施的建设一刻也没有停歇。应急物资储备配备中心和永兴码头配套设施主体工程于去年7月24日竣工,使得三沙物资补给和船只作业更加有保障。

  永兴岛应急物资储备配备中心建筑面积675.63平方米,共有三层。其中第一层为低温冷藏库,第二层为高温保鲜库,第三层为仓库。冷藏库和保鲜库可达到150吨的冷藏规模,可维持三沙市500多人两个月的生活所需,极大改善永兴岛的物资储备。

  2014年,永兴岛日产300吨海水淡化厂建设完成,雨水收集管网和地方区域各单位淡水供应的管道体系铺设完成,日产1000吨海水淡化厂给水管铺设完成,西沙永兴岛污水处理厂和西沙群岛垃圾收集转运工程也于去年7月25日竣工。

  其中,污水处理厂设计日处理能力1800吨,出水水质达到《城市污水再生利用城市杂用水》水质标准,做到污水收集全岛全覆盖,处理后的中水可缓解永兴岛淡水资源紧张的局面,提高资源利用率;西沙群岛垃圾收集转运工程近期日转运最大能力为两吨。

  这一系列工程改变不仅仅是永兴岛,在赵述岛、晋卿岛,这些基础设施均已改造完成,原本生活环境恶劣的小岛已经改变了模样。对于三沙居民来说,有了淡水,岛礁才能更绿;有了应急物资储备,他们的生活才能无后顾之忧;有了污水垃圾处理设施,才能让他们生活在更舒适的环境中。

  网络信号覆盖岛礁

  渔民可刷“朋友圈”

  相对于海水淡化、垃圾处理、道路修建等基础设施的建设,网络信息基础设施的竣工,三沙岛礁网络化的覆盖,更是在精神层面上给三沙居民带来了可喜的变化,特别是永兴岛以外的岛礁上的居民,感受最深。

  “老一辈闯三沙的渔民都说赵述岛是海鸟都不落地的荒岛。”在三沙赵述岛上定居的渔民李遴赛说,此前岛上居住条件很差,但这些问题都可以克服,最难受的是精神生活上的枯燥。此前,每当夕阳西下岛上就漆黑一片,唯独海浪冲刷着岛礁发出单调的浪花声,这样枯燥的日子甚是难熬。

  “上岛10年,变化最大的就是三沙设市后的这3年多时间。”李遴赛说,长期以来,西沙各岛礁驻岛居民和工作人员只能通过手机网络登录互联网,费用高、信号相对不稳定。如今,随着岛礁WIFI信号的覆盖,岛礁居民天天都可以用手机“刷”朋友圈,或者用网络下载歌曲。岛上甚至有人开设了一家水产捕捞行,用网络将新鲜海产品发布到互联网,进行电子商务交易。

  三沙市信息中心工作人员介绍,为解决三沙各岛礁居民“上网难”问题,他们通过在岛上安装室外无线天线,使原来的室内网络扩展到室外,既方便了岛上的工作人员办公,也方便了渔民上网,获取资讯,丰富岛礁居民的精神文化生活。

  如今,三沙岛礁基础设施发生着实实在在的变化,让留岛的渔民越来越多,岛礁人气越来越旺。

  2014年7月,三沙市投资近100万元完成有线电视数字化改造,永兴岛政府机关、部队及渔民村实现了有线数字电视信号的全覆盖,可收看80多套电视节目,包含15套高清电视节目。同时,“户户通”广播电视工程队也深入永乐工委,为住岛居民免费安装可以收到58套节目的“户户通”直播电视卫星接收设备,三沙卫视也在西沙各有人居住岛礁实现了全覆盖。

  寂寞海岛

  如今像个小城市

  越来越多的基础设施建设正在建设,让三沙发生了极大的变化,特别是三沙市政府所在的永兴岛,如今建设越来越像一个城市。

  相对于其他岛礁,三沙市政府所在地永兴岛,其基础设施的完善,已经成为三沙各岛礁发展的一面旗帜。这里的生活已经彻底告别了寂寞、枯燥、无味,处处洋溢着海岛风情和热带都市味道。

  北京路是永兴岛上最热闹的市政主干道。每当夜幕降临,北京路上的各家店铺都会亮起五颜六色的霓虹灯,来自岛上各条战线的工作者们和居民都会汇聚到这里,在商品琳琅满目的超市内购物,在一旁的渔家乐里吃饭,在理发店里理个满意的发型……

  此外,一些城市功能配套基础设施的建设,也让三沙的城市功能越来越完善。去年7月25日,三沙市拘留所(for our Viet friends:D:D开建,同日开建的还有三沙军警民联防指挥中心。三沙市拘留所在永兴岛上分别新建1栋3层的综合楼和1栋3层的拘室楼等相关用房及配套基础设施,总建筑面积1498.32平方米,设计关押量56人,计划于今年7月14日建成投入使用,拘留所建成后加挂三沙市看守所牌,具有拘留所和看守所两种功能。

  正在建设中的三沙军警民联防中心具备军警民联防指挥、联合训练、联合办公、战备物资存储等功能,建成后将强化三沙地区军警民联防指挥协调能力,对于加强边海防建设,提高抢险救灾能力,维护海洋权益和促进地方经济社会发展有着十分重要的现实意义。
