Taiwan jointly developed spy satellite with Russia, Scan the mainland target result is not satisfactory

Nov 30

Posted by admin in Taiwan Strait | Comments off

Taiwans Fu Wei-II reached a spy satelliteRecently, the Taiwan media also be exposed by a Taiwan authorities and the Russian co-operation of the satellite projects. The two sides are each funded more than 150 million U.S. dollars, developed and launched a satellite. But let Taiwan embarrassed by the fact that Russia cooperation in the publication list, are fundamentally did not mention Taiwan, and the satellite launching is several months, Taiwan has yet to receive any signal to the satellite.

Breakdown of the Taiwan authorities in the international satellite co-operation can only be “crazy” to describe the word, in addition to well-known outside the United States, Israel, Taiwan authorities and France, Japan and even Canada, in private actions repeatedly. Taiwan authorities do not hesitate to say that the reason why as much as possible rental of a satellite is to scan the mainland’s airspace without dead ends, “want to make what is, you can shoot anything.”

A large amount of money Quemo signal

For decades, the Taiwan authorities have been trying to enhance the space reconnaissance capability, but is limited due to their own research and development, in general, leased or co-productions of spy satellites way. November 24, Taiwan’s “China Times” revealed that the Taiwan authorities and the Russian co-developed the micro-satellite “tower embankment Yang Na II”, R & D and rocket launchers fees Taiwan, and Russia would each bear half (more than 1.5 million U.S. dollars).

But let public opinion in Taiwan is dissatisfied with the Moscow University “towers dike Yang Na on the 2nd topic” pages, referred to cooperation partners in South Korea and Mexico, made no mention of the Taiwan region. An even more outrageous is that the satellite was launched September 17, it has been unable to ground mission control center in Taiwan carried out docking, has so far failed to identify the cause. Taiwan’s “Testing and Research Institute,” repeatedly asked Moscow State University to include Taiwan in cooperation list, but the other Yi Gai: “The difficulty, inconvenience.”

It is reported that in June 2005, when he was the “National Science Council,” vice chairman of the delegation to Moscow to negotiate XIE Qing-zhi, “Taiwan and Russia bilateral science and technology research program”, to finalize this satellite cooperation program. For fear of a rebound in mainland China, the Taiwan authorities and Russia reached a consensus to avoid the “Taiwan,” the word appears in the contract, Taiwan’s “National Science Council” and the “NARL” also any of the satellite-related documents are classified as confidential, shall not be exposed. Taiwan authorities explained that such cooperation is to learn self-satellite development and launch technology.

Taiwan authorities officials said, because Taiwan’s international cooperation program of this “see no light,” so despite the “Tower dike Yang Na II” satellite launch delayed time and again asked about the other reasons for the Taiwan side, almost all without any response .

Since the cooperation is carried out by Chen Shui-bian’s tenure, Ma Ying-jeou came to power last year, the team does not seem to know. After the news, Taiwan’s “presidential office” immediately said to look at reports. Taiwan’s satellite research and development cooperation projects in the past repeatedly be exposed corruption scandals, the project is wrong with so many flaws, follow-up development remains to be seen.

Satellite program a series of disappointments

Just last October, Taiwan’s “Defense Ministry” has proudly revealed to the media, to rent a completely keep control of the Israeli spy satellite, all-weather monitoring of the PLA, “satellite photo resolution of 0.6 meters, want to make what is , you can shoot anything. ” In addition, since rent is set rather than a satellite, thus four times a day passing over the continent, the focus detection of sensitive targets.

So happy to rent a satellite on the demonstration of the Taiwan authorities in the international satellite cooperation, Qi embarrassment. For example, in 2006 Taiwan and Canada, manufacturers have had “ARGO” satellite launch cooperation, scheduled for launch in late 2008 or early 2009, manufacturers also accept it by 2 billion new Taiwan dollars (4 billion New Taiwan dollars about 1 yuan yuan) in advance. But ultimately, increase the Government’s refusal to take technology export licenses issued to manufacturers, the Taiwan side had to terminate the contract, to find another U.S. vendors.

To find someone to co-operation so Naoxin, why not go it alone then? The Taiwan authorities is beyond their grasp. Overall, Taiwan’s space development program is still in the initial stage, facing many constraints, mainly two things: First, low level of scientific research and technology, independent research and development capacity is insufficient. Since the 20th century, 90 years, Taiwan has the space industry has achieved great development, but the ability to independently carry out scientific research and development seriously inadequate. The “Fu Wei 2,” for example, the main components in spite of a considerable portion of production from the island of Taiwan, but the technology has all from France. Second, there is no space launch vehicles, satellites, launch completely controlled by others. The U.S. Government’s strong opposition, Taiwan’s space development plans were not included in the ad hoc means of delivery, making the launch of Taiwan’s satellite system, completely controlled by others.

Taiwan’s “Fu Wei 2″ and “Fu Wei-3″ satellite launch plans to the company’s repeated delays by the United States, the Taiwan authorities do nothing. Chung Chien professor at Tsinghua University in Taiwan, said Taiwan’s satellite technology industry is “spend money to hire someone else to buy firecrackers, and then spend money to hire someone setting off firecrackers.”

Nov 20

Posted by admin in China, Taiwan Strait | Comments off

Taiwan’s “United Evening News” published an editorial on the 18th, said recently the US-China summit in Taiwan in recent years has been the least intense one. On the one hand, moderate number of cross-strait relations than in the past; the other hand, the United States has no intention of wrangling on the Taiwan issue. The two sides of the joint statement noted a number of words: for example, the United States referred to look forward to strengthening cross-strait “economic, political and other areas of dialogue and interaction”, where “politics” is not the word in the past; Another example is the text to mention the two sides “to respect each other’s core interests and to ensure the stable development of Sino-US relations extremely important. ”

From the text of the Joint Declaration does not appear to let everyone astonished, but still revealed a number of messages is worth reading.

Over the past decade or so, when the deadlocked cross-strait situation or confrontation between the US-China summit are every nerve strained to Taiwan. Subtle, the Taipei care about what the U.S. president said, because it represents a policy direction of the wind.

Indeed, the US-China summit has been intense in recent years, Taiwan’s least once. On the one hand, moderate number of cross-strait relations than in the past; the other hand, through the global financial tsunami last year, the United States influence in the global proportion of seriously detract. Coupled with Obama’s political style, the Taiwan issue, Washington has no intention to get entangled, so as not to affect US-China dialogue on other issues.

Perhaps because of this, the “Taiwan issue” in US-China dialogue, the weight is drastically reduced. The joint statement the two sides in the number of characters is worth noting: for example, where a reference to the United States look forward to strengthening cross-strait “economic, political and other areas of dialogue and interaction”, where “politics” is a word not in the past; Another example is the text to mention the two sides ” respect each other’s core interests in ensuring stable development of Sino-US relations extremely important. ”

Taiwan said after October last year, the People’s Liberation Army forces once again to strengthen Taiwan

Oct 25

Posted by admin in Defense Report, Observers, Taiwan Strait | Comments off

Taiwan's military annual National Defense ReportOctober 20, Taiwan’s military scheduled the annual publication “National Defense Report” (hereinafter referred to as “the Report”). As cross-strait relations in the Ma Ying-jeou “government” After taking office, becoming relaxed, “the report” the extent to attract the eye gradually lower. Nevertheless, this “red tape” shown by some of the new content and new formulation, or by the media attention.

A comic version of boosting military service reform

According to Taiwan’s “Defense Ministry”, the new “report” as early as the work of codification had already started in September last year, during which the Taiwan authorities Distinguished scholars, retired generals and media practitioners, etc. A total of 31 people as “advisory member “, after festivals worldwide review of the guide, before at the end of last month by Ma Ying-jeou presided over a military meeting were finalized. Although the horse “president,” I have not made their usual order, but the substance of the report is not vague, the main part by the “Facing the Challenges,” “forward-looking innovation” and “create an opportunity to” three major sections, and further broken down 8 chapters also have their own focus.

Compared to the contents of the new “report” the change more reflected in the form. For the purpose of attracting the people, the Taiwan military has deliberately changed the schedule this year, practices, hopes to illustrated the way, so that the original blunt become refined and more readable reports. It is reported that they invited the island’s well-known text editors and art staff, designed for “report” polish.

For now, Taiwan’s military service system reform has entered a critical stage in order to replace the existing compulsory military service mercenary objectives, is expected to be basically completed in the next five years. As the echo, the new “report” also to “build Taiwan’s military elite – mercenary” for discussion axis. Moreover, the publishing units also let out early, the report said it would adapt to be able to carry a color comic book available for sale to help more school-age youth about the “national defense” to attract them to join the army.

However, starting on the 20th day of the ceremony, outside of the most anticipated comic version “report” has no trace, in accordance with the explanation given by the military will be delayed one week of its listing is to prevent the media “out of focus”, the report care taken in meeting the main demand unavoidable.

The first to mention the establishment of cross-strait military trust

Relative to the increasingly heated exchanges between politicians and civil society, Taiwan’s military has been playing in cross-strait issues conservative role. This year’s “report” Despite the increase in Taiwan’s how to participate in disaster relief like the motions of sexual content, but the mainland’s military development and Taiwan’s “anti-system” means the subject of the length is still continued to account for the bulk.

Taiwan’s “Defense Minister” Gao Hua-chu, in the preamble stated that “In view of the mainland’s military threats have not been lifted, Taiwan should remain vigilant, and build a ‘tenacious defense and effective deterrence’ force.” Moreover, “the report” also judged that the Taiwan, mainland China will not reduce troop strength in the recent past, its release of all the gestures of peace signal, will actually weaken the military’s combat, “so difficult to resist our ability to turn up without a fight enemy’s military intentions.”

Should be affirmed that the new version of “report” the first time an explicit reference to the establishment of cross-strait military mutual trust mechanism (CBM) content, referred to as “related issues has been fermented,” Taiwan’s military would be prudent, pragmatic and progressive approach to be gradual promotion. As a prerequisite to establish such a mechanism, “the report” will be its best summarized as “the establishment of communication hotlines,” “Code of Conduct and other standards to make the Straits” and “restrictions on the deployment of special forces and military activities” three measures.

“The report” On the one hand accused the mainland “does not abandon the use of force against Taiwan”, on the other hand intends to promote cross-strait military mutual trust mechanism, whether the two contradictory? In response, Taiwan’s “Defense Ministry” War Planning Secretary Li Ximing vague in their statements, he said, military mutual trust mechanism is the “national security” plan, “we can do is stand in a framework, the planning can be done part of the . ”

Accept the reality of military comparison

For Taiwan’s military, the regular publication of the “National Defense Report” to the public to express its position on the carrier concentration, therefore, often codified in the report disclosed a variety of so-called military insider, not only as playing up “China military threat “, but also an additional arms purchases for their own rally.

The latest “report” also Pu Liu said the United States announced in October last year, military sale to Taiwan, the PLA, “Second Artillery Corps,” and the armed forces, namely, the continued implementation of its missile tests and increase the aircraft cruising at sea to conduct joint air defense drills, adjust the air deployment of troops, and the grouping of cross-fleet activities in the waters east of Taiwan, and even large-scale firepower demonstration and joint exercises, “deliberately Taiwan military activities to improve strength and pressure.”

In accordance with the Taiwan military’s statement that it is a series of protest against U.S. arms sales approach is to Taiwan before the presidential election last year substantially mobilizations deterrent to Taiwan, the mainland once again, large-scale policy of “angry” and also the first time after Ma Ying-jeou came to power “Xiama Wei.”

In addition, the cross-strait military balance clearly tilted to the momentum of the mainland, Taiwan’s “Defense Ministry” is no longer taboo. “The report” points out that, in the military preparations against Taiwan, the PLA already have attacked part of the Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia’s strategic deterrent capability of military bases, so that foreign military intervention in the Taiwan Strait concerns increase. Not only that, due to the increasing diversification of the PLA with Taiwan means of attack, you can use ballistic missiles, airborne precision guided weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles with the operations, fire cover all of Taiwan, so Taiwan’s defense more difficult.

As cross-strait relations in the Ma Ying-jeou “government” After taking office, becoming relaxed, “the report” the extent to attract the eye gradually lower. Nevertheless, this “red tape” shown by some of the new content and new formulation, or by the media attention.
