War Returns to Asia?

I noticed this at ZeroHedge:
Relying on US support, the Philippines is so arrogant as to announce in the New Year that it will increase its navy and air force deployment at Zhongye Island, a Chinese island that it has illegally occupied for years.

It will be an intolerable insult to China

According to experts, the Chinese navy has drawn a detailed combat plan to seize the island and the battle will be restricted within the South China Sea.

The battle is aimed at recovery of the island stolen by the Philippines from China.

There will be no invasion into Filipino territories.

A report in the Philippines Star confirmed the Philippines military buildup on the island.
ZeroHedge has is the headline that a battle will be restricted to the island itself, but that doesn't mean the political or economic response by the Philippines, Japan or U.S. will be similarly restricted.

The original article is below, followed by two others on the same topic. All Google Translated.

PLA South China Sea emergent big moves this year will force the industry to recover the island
The Philippines has relied on U.S. support, often to China to launch an attack on the South China Sea issue, the arrogance, had to intolerable proportions. South China Sea sovereignty dispute dragged on for too long, resulting in problems Humpty trouble. Territory was invaded, plundered resources, China is several small countries wanton bullying, really ruined face of international prestige is greatly compromised. When off constantly, will be troubled. Ancestral homeland, an inch nor from the loss of our hands, otherwise the Chinese nation ages.

Recently, the People's Liberation Army officially fired the first shot in the South China Sea activist. 2014 New Year, the Philippines announced plans to increase the naval and air forces deployed in the illegal occupation of the Nansha islands in the industry in an attempt to permanently occupy our territory, territorial waters. Experts said that this is a good opportunity for China to use force to give the Philippines, China should take the opportunity to force the industry to recover the island!

Experts said that the current PLA Navy has developed a detailed operational plan carefully, and the whole theater is limited to the scope of the South China Sea, but the Philippines is not the only aspect of the battle plan for the Philippines, local attack, because this war is for the purpose of regaining the Philippines The illegal occupation of the Chinese Nansha islands, while the PLA troops to be stationed on the island, so the Chinese side is bound to respond in accordance with the Philippine side to peer level attacks.

Philippines despite the Chinese government's repeated protests and warnings, in the South China Sea issue jump the highest, most downtown Huan, pounded the most vicious. 2014 New Year, the Philippines announced plans to increase the naval and air forces deployed in the illegal occupation of the Nansha islands in the industry. Deed goes unpunished, of course, would be the first to pack the Philippines. Philippine naval and air forces that point worth mentioning, only enough to deal with the South China Sea Fleet.

I occupy the island in the Philippines nearly 43 years of
Of the year, and then in the South China Sea, the Philippine military launched the "big action": its occupation of seven islands two massive sandbar send more troops; invested heavily in upgrading the local Navy and Air Force facilities; intends to reinforce its reefs depends on China Charity The old landing ship; secretly installed the new US-made warship gun system ...... many military observers believe that the Philippine government and the military is likely in 2014 in the South China Sea to further exacerbate tensions, the United States and Japan seem to be willing to Philippines " Site cheer. "

Cobble island in the Philippines Armed Forces industry

In November last year due to strong typhoon "Swallow" attacks delays in the Philippine Army Fangzeng Bing sector Island plans to restart this month.

Philippines' Kalayaan City, "Mayor Eugenio than Tony Austrian farmers confirmed that the new troops had arrived in the island this month, the 6th industry, including the Army and Navy personnel. Austrian farmers, said: "Before adding the Army stationed on the island, the island's armed forces complete the industry." Western Command, the Philippines has also confirmed that the day stationed in the island's industry Airmen are transported by naval aircraft. The command said in a statement: "As sea conditions remained poor, can only use aircraft to transport Airmen and residents in the island's industry and therefore have the opportunity to fly to Palawan Province to visit work."

Earlier, the Philippine troops in the industry on the island has a contingent of the Army and Navy, and the Air Force because the runway is completely destroyed, the high cost of the garrison evacuated years ago. However, on December 4 last year, the Philippine Department of Defense announced that the Philippines plans to invest 480 million pesos (about 66.1 million yuan) earmarked for the disputed Spratly islands in the industry to upgrade the island's airport runway and naval facilities.

Islands in the industry is the second largest island in China after the Spratly relay Taiping Island, since 1971 has been illegally occupied by the Philippines. In the administrative divisions of the Philippines, the islands in the industry under the "Kalayaan city", owned by Palawan province "jurisdiction." For the Philippine Army troops in the industry once again recently Island, a Philippine official said: "Although Petrel to the Philippines typhoon reconstruction caused huge human and property losses, Tacloban and other places are also needed, including China International social assistance, but to strengthen the industry's island capital infrastructure already in place, this cost is based on the "1995 Army Modernization Act" allocated. "

Attempt to create "Monitoring the South China Sea fortress"

Although the Philippine government and the military were unwilling to disclose the specific building programs in the industry of the island, but according to local media reports, the Philippine military in the industry on the island ready to upgrade first piece of 1300 m long runway for landing large military transport aircraft. In addition, the Navy facility, the armed forces barracks, town hall, hospitals and soldiers family wings, also has begun construction. Its support of the province of Palawan still facing the South China Sea Oyster Bay Naval Base. The base about 160 kilometers from China Nansha Islands, including military dock, deep water port and garrison facilities. After a new round of facility upgrades and troops stationed in the island of the Philippines military industry is expected to include 100 sailors, 36 army officers and 42 Air Force flying reconnaissance and intelligence officers. "When necessary, a battalion of Philippine Marines also fly landing operations." Revealed that a Filipino soldier.

In addition to strengthening the military deployment, the Philippines also consider increasing the number of inhabitants in the industry of the island. "Kalayaan City," Mayor Eugenio than Tony Austrian farmers revealed that: "As long as China ocean surveillance ship a return to the Nansha waters, our fishermen will promptly report to the government and the military because the military aircraft ...... and patrol boats can only guarantee the existence of a certain time period, while fishermen in relevant waters throughout the year, which is common in the industry, the fishermen's island effect, and we need more people. "

For the Philippine military move, Philippines ABS-CBN News quoted a security official word comment, said:. "In the industry on the island is the South China Sea island chain in the Philippines main military outpost which means the Philippine military to better the South China Sea to monitor the situation. "

US-Japan happy to little brother "Platform"

For the Philippines beginning in 2014 will be "eager" to mobilize troops towards the South China Sea islands and reefs, the Russian independent military observers Semenov said that the possibility of the Philippine government and the military in 2014 reignite Nansha dispute is very large. His analysis:. "Philippines move both their own needs, more support behind the U.S. and Japan factor"

Late last year, the Chinese navy "Liaoning" aircraft carrier with the United States warship "occasional" incident in the South China Sea during the training, the Philippine media have interpreted the move was related to the sea in the U.S. Navy intends to display the presence of cashing in on the Philippines' allies support. " Meanwhile, Japan since the end of last year, continue to send senior government officials and military personnel access to the Philippines, but also to honor previous commitments to aid the Philippine military equipment. It is said that in addition to the new Mini maritime patrol outside the Philippines, Japan will dispatch Self-Defense Forces since March this year, the Philippine military officers trained soldiers to the Philippines, to help them improve the combat capability of the ocean. Meanwhile, the Philippines continues to play the "China threat", the Philippine military and political leaders repeatedly claimed that China since last year performance was "increasingly aggressive" and continuing to send warships and ocean surveillance ship to Nansha Islands cruise, which makes the Philippines. " deeply disturbing. "

Some analysts have pointed out that the Philippines play a clown jumped on Taiwan, "performance", the U.S. and Japan to come forward its "Platform cheers", seemingly interactive "understanding", in fact, behind each play each abacus.


From the U.S. perspective, the current U.S. military is actively adjusting the Asia-Pacific and China's military deployment around the key objective is to curb the fortress East China Sea, South China Sea, Okinawa, pressed Chinese naval activities in the region, in this process, Japan and the Philippines are just their strategies pawn in a chess board, where to put, how to put it all depends on U.S. strategic needs.

From the Japanese perspective, Abe insisted ghosts, the Sino-Japanese relations have been bruised and then poke a knife, so that tensions in East Asia upgrade again. At this time, implied or support dispute with China reefs Philippines to China to launch an attack, Abe has become an important option for the implementation of its policies, and thus, the Philippine military have recently shouted Japanese maritime cooperation would strengthen rather "heating" meaning.

United States and Japan playing a major strategic thinking, Philippines naturally want to muddy the waters, to benefit from it. To send more troops to islands in the industry, for example, the Philippines made ​​up his mind that Japan's recent tough markedly effective, may be too busy South China Gu, this firm or its opportunity to take advantage of the heel in the South China Sea. Currently, the Philippines has usurped my nearly 43 years in the industry, the island if another strong surge through rely on this island for seven years, then it will be able to order the "actual control for 50 years" as an excuse, advocates from the level of international law get full sovereignty, and thus anchored, occupation wider Nansha waters, and then pushed forward to the South China Sea, in order to reap more benefits, its ambition is quite substantial.

The submarine is from St. Petersburg harbor crane transport comes with. With the submarine from the shipyard in St. Petersburg Admiral experts, they will do the finishing touches before the official handover ceremony. The submarine will be named HQ182 "Hanoi" sign. The remaining five "Kilo" class submarines are expected to be delivered in 2016.

Reported that, as early as the 1960s, Indonesia becoming the first Southeast Asian country underwater combat capabilities, when it receives a number of Soviet-built W-class submarines. Later, in 1978, Indonesia has purchased two West German diesel-electric submarines. In 2012, the Indonesian Ministry of Defense announced that it plans by 2020 to expand its submarine fleet to 12. Because you want to overwrite the strategic choke points or entry into the channel islands offshore, requires a minimum of 12 submarines.

Currently Daewoo Shipbuilding and Maritime Engineering Company is working with the Indonesian Pal military cooperation company in Korea to build three U-209 submarines to Indonesia. The U-209 submarine is expected to be delivered between 2015 to 2016.

In addition, Indonesia is considering two options. The first option is to purchase and refit Russian "Kilo" class submarines. The second option is to buy new submarines from South Korea. This option is attractive because of the new submarine port compatible with existing infrastructure.

The report also said that by the end of November 2013, Singapore announced that it has signed a contract from the German Thyssen - the purchase of two new submarines 218SG Krupp Marine Systems.

In the Philippines, the Aquino administration took office early, according to the Department of Defense and the Armed Forces modernization project procurement "wish list" are said to include submarines. But now the country seems to have quietly abandon plans to buy a submarine.

Reported that in the next 5-10 years, the waters of Southeast Asia - especially in the South China Sea - the witness to the number of countries in the region to deploy conventional submarines increased significantly. This will make the South China Sea more crowded. Submarine force combat capability will enable the region to four dimensions - air, land, sea and underwater. Submarines will be able to engage in reconnaissance and intelligence gathering, mine, ship and long-range strike missions.
