Indian experts claim that a joint South Asian countries against the Chinese dam plan

Chinese dam planIndia’s “Peace and Conflict Studies” website December 7 article, the original question: China’s “water weapon”

The recent discord between India-China relations, India has the media on climate change, a surprisingly hot-spot issues keep quiet. On the surface, these two views on climate change in developing countries is consistent. But in-depth study will find that climate change is perhaps the greatest potential of India contention.

Glaciers in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in Asia, the majority of the river water source. These rivers are the lifeblood of the South Asian subcontinent. Global warming in the next 50 years is expected to rise 2-5 degrees. As a barometer of global climate conditions, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will be so. As the glaciers melt, rivers will face short-term flood-related. Glacier melt will substantially reduce river flows in northern India, exacerbating the shortage of resources and competition issues, will also affect the Himalayan river systems flows through 11 Asian countries.

But China is not affected. China’s climate change and how it affects the eastern provinces, as well as how to change the South have more autonomy. Control of the river on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the Chinese the right to use and diversion of the eastern provinces — whether to increase water supply, hair more electricity, or by water punishment in South Asia. These acts would undermine the South Asian subcontinent-dependent water supply, affecting the South Asian geopolitics.

Because of Water Resources and South Asia subcontinent in water control and supply of already tense political inseparable, China’s “water weapon” should not be overlooked. Climate change has strengthened China’s influence in South Asia. China and India (and other South Asian countries) in this area will make any conflict overshadowed by India and China border conflict.

India and China have signed the memorandum of understanding to establish a “joint mechanism for expert-level”, during the rainy season every year to exchange the Brahmaputra and the Sutlej and the hydrological data. But given the current extent of the challenge, need to work with China on the basis of the Indus Water Treaty, the Treaty entered into more extensive and effective early response to the allocation of water resources, diversion and mutual communication. Such an agreement should be a geo-political tensions in northern India to strengthen the basis for trade.

If China’s reluctance to establish formal institutions to manage this problem, along with South Asian countries would oppose it, because these countries are subject to China’s “green weapon” damage. In water this issue, the estranged neighbors must unite to revive otherwise it will split SAARC.

Government of India is the technical performance of these two kinds of engines for evaluation. Although the above two companies are trying to win the contract win, but the final decision will depend on the Indian Defense Ministry.

Some analysts believe that, due to a variety of reasons, the Indian Air Force may be to make concessions and accept GE’s F414 engine. One important reason is price, the European jet engine provided by EJ200 engine is much more expensive than the F414. In addition, the United States and the increasingly close military ties with India, also gave more opportunities for U.S. companies to win the deal.

Vietnam’s first time holding an international seminar on the South China Sea issue

Dec 2

Posted by admin in Asia, Vietnam | No Comments

international seminar on the South China Sea issueRecently, the South China Sea seems to have signs of cooling. In the end of November, Vietnam, South China Sea issue the first time held a large-scale international symposium. How should we look at Vietnam, this step?

Want to intervene in the South China Sea with ASEAN

November 26 ~ 27 days, Vietnam’s Foreign Affairs University and Vietnam Bar Association, jointly held in Hanoi, entitled “the South China Sea (Vietnam called ‘East Sea’): security and development in the region to strengthen cooperation,” International Conference. Although the seminar is the exchange of scholars, but a large scale, there are 150 attended the seminar.

In addition to Vietnamese scholars, and another 45 scholars from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Laos, China, South Korea, Japan, India, Australia, the United States, Russia, Britain, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Canada and other countries.

Chinese scholars attending the 7 people from the mainland Chinese Academy of Social Sciences of China’s Borderland History and Geography Research Center, Li Guoqiang, deputy director of six other people, and another one from Taiwan. This is the first time on the South China Sea in Vietnam to convene such a large-scale international symposium.

Theme of the meeting there are three, first, the South China Sea on the region’s peace and security in the importance of the South China Sea in the status of national strategies; two root causes of the South China Sea disputes, and its evolution; third is to assess the region aimed at curbing the current impasse intensified the relevant system, and propose solutions to the problem concerned the dispute mechanism.

Vietnamese media reported that some scholars at the meeting, except in 1992 and 2002, respectively, through the “Declaration on the South China Sea” and the “Declaration on Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea”, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations has not given priority in the South China Sea, ASEAN has not yet become the region to address an effective system of the South China Sea disputes, ASEAN has not yet managed potential disputes and conflict measures. In accordance with this scholar’s point of view, the South China Sea should be the Association of Southeast Asian Nations priority issues.

We all know, the South China Sea issue between China and ASEAN countries, the problems in bilateral relations, does not involve the ASEAN itself.

But Vietnam and other relevant countries, the hope is resolved within the framework of ASEAN, the South China Sea. Next year, Vietnam will become the Chairman of ASEAN countries, Vietnam, South China Sea issue if put into the Association of Southeast Asian Nations on the agenda, will no doubt seize the initiative on the South China Sea issue. Clearly, this view coincide Vietnamese media appetite.

Russia scholar, said the South China Sea as “East Sea”

I believe that dialogue is always better than confrontation, to Vietnam for hosting the Conference should Dialectical, we must see the South China Sea in Vietnam, the organizers wanted a multilateral, international-oriented veiled motives, should be noted that the meeting does have a constructive side.

According to Chinese scholars attending an introduction to the author, scholars from various countries are based on personal capacity to attend this meeting, the participants at the meeting showed the frankly his views, which is conducive to enhancing mutual understanding between the participants. Around the theme of the International Conference on the South China Sea, Vietnam is likely to continue after the winding up.

That Chinese scholars believe that Chinese scholars participating holding an open mind, which in addition to allowing the international community to a deeper and more objective understanding of the position of Chinese scholars, but also to China and Vietnam over a channel for communication.

Of course, the Chinese scholars can understand more about the idea of other countries outside the region. For example, Russian scholars at the meeting with the Vietnamese side on the so-called “East Sea” term to refer to the South China Sea in support of Vietnam’s position. The complexity of the South China Sea issue is obvious.

Vietnam, the “new evidence” flimsy

In addition, the Vietnamese continue to rally, said the recent domestic media, but also the discovery of new historical evidence to prove that the Nansha and Xisha the history of the jurisdiction of the Vietnamese territory. Chinese scholars also said the meeting, Vietnamese scholars have also dished out at this meeting of these so-called “new evidence.” In fact, these “new evidence” is not worth refuting, and nothing new.

The Spratly Islands are now the Vietnamese called “Changsha”, the Vietnamese claimed to have taken control of the country’s history of “Changsha.” But the Vietnamese ancient books called “Changsha”, not the present Spratly Islands, but in central Vietnam’s coastal waters, islands and shoals. China since ancient times to the jurisdiction of the Nansha Islands and Sai Sha.

Vietnamese media reports, is to create public opinion in the country, urged the Government not to compromise on the South China Sea issue, not a concession. At the same time, this also shows that the Vietnamese academics are being sought by international law to settle the legal basis for the South China Sea, and thus create international opinion, Vietnam to the South China Sea issue in the settlement occupied an advantageous position.

March 17, Vietnam, Foreign Affairs College Research Center of the South China Sea was also held entitled “The sovereignty dispute over the South China Sea: History, Geopolitics and International Law” seminar. Vietnam scholars believe that: “In essence, the South China Sea is an international problem. … … On the diplomatic front, pay attention to the United States, Korea, Japan, ASEAN, the United Nations and the WTO on China in this dispute the attitude response. ”

Vietnam, the use of flexible instruments

The above trends show that Vietnam’s thinking on the issue of the South China Sea have been adjusted. Previously, Vietnam blindly with a strong buy six Russian “Kilo-class” submarines, the formation of militia actions at sea continuously.

Today, the Vietnamese began to resort to international law, international academic dialogue, with some flexible means to seize the initiative in the South China Sea. This shows that Vietnam has realized its own strength, and China “tough” no good.

Outside the United States as a regional military superpower, while flirting with the South China Sea countries concerned, even in the South China Sea dispute held a joint military exercise, but Vietnam is also very clear that a small country in Southeast Asia, the United States only in the use of their checks and balances in China, you really want to sword each other, U.S. estimate is moving mouth than doing – criticizing China, but not the war.

After all, the United States are large countries, the U.S. emphasis on China is far greater than in Southeast Asia.
