another stupid chink
yankee carriers are all over the planet.
tiongkok military not yet out of tiongkok.
There is no guarantee the USA will honor its agreement to Singapore, but currently they do use our bases for their planes and ships. But in the case of actual conflict, will the USA defend Asia? They may decide we are not worth it.
Instersting.
The fact that a SG spy is caught will definitely change their stance and opinion of Sinkieland.
China flexes its muscles to US
Beijing has stepped up the pace of its war games in recent weeks after the US sent two aircraft carrier strike groups into the South China Sea. Now it’s threatening to “play” next door to a significant US Pacific base.
“If the US goes further, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) could take more countermeasures, including live-fire missile drills east of Taiwan Island and near Guam,” a senior Chinese Communist Party official warns.
The comment came in response to the visit of US Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar to Taiwan – the highest-ranked US official to do so for several decades.
Beijing considers this a direct provocation. It insists the self-governed democracy, which never capitulated to the Communist revolution of 1949, to be its sovereign territory.
China’s ambassador to the UK, Liu Xiaoming, on Thursday tweeted: “On Taiwan issue, anyone playing with fire will get burned”.
“They probably will do an air-naval strike exercise east of Taiwan. If Xi (Chinese President Xi Jinping) wants to send a threat, it may include a ballistic missile launch into the waters west of Guam,” military analyst Carl Schuster told CNN.
Guam is an important mid-Pacific island base regularly used by US naval and air forces.
“I am sure the idea is on the table since the Chinese military would not publish such bombastic rhetoric on its initiative. Someone of authority in the Communist Party or PLA feels that way and is pushing for it,” he said.
But US Indo-Pacific Command spokesman Major Randy Ready told CNN the US military “won’t speculate on hypothetical exercises that may or may not take place in the future.”
LARGE SCALE ‘WAR GAMES’
The US this week positioned the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan in the nearby Japanese controlled Senkaku and Diaoyu Islands region as Chinese combat aircraft step up their ‘probing’ of Taiwanese and Japanese airspace.

Beijing, however, is blaming the US for the increased tempo of its military operations.
“The PLA drills come amid the increasingly frequent provocative military activities made by the US near the island of Taiwan and in waters in the South China Sea,” the state-controlled Global Times states.
“Ground and naval forces of the PLA have been on concentrated schedules in amphibious landing and maritime exercises in the past weeks and will continue to do so in the weeks to come.”
Open source analysts have deconstructed propaganda photos and say Beijing has deployed strategic bombers to the South China Sea fortress Woody Island for the first time. This is in contravention of its assertion that such facilities serve no purpose other than sea rescue facilities.
It’s a clear diplomatic signal of Beijing’s hardening resolve to assume absolute control over the strategically vital waterway between Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia.
The bombers may also be scaling-up ongoing combat exercises. So far, these have included practising beach assaults by amphibious and naval units and wide-ranging air strikes. Live weapons will be fired at sea near Shanghai this week as part of this training process.
But the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post news service cites an unnamed military source as saying Beijing has warned PLA personnel “not to fire the first shot”.
“It’s easy to give the order to shoot, but neither China nor the US is able to control the consequences. The current situation is highly tense and very dangerous,” the source said. “But we are very clear that we will respond with force only as the last resort, when everything else has failed.”
EYES IN THE SKY
Beijing’s ‘wolf-warrior’ commentators and diplomats have taken aim at US surveillance flights monitoring its military activities in the South China Sea.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi accused the US of having sent more than 2000 military flights through the area so far this year. Thursday, Beijing claimed some posed a “risk” to civilian aircraft.
The South China Sea Strategic Situation Probing Initiative (SCSPI), a Beijing-based think-tank, says four’ close up’ US reconnaissance flights have been made in the region of Guangdong so far this month.
Beijing is alleging at least one of these aircraft attempted to disguise itself as a passenger airliner and flew along commercial flight corridors.
“It’s possible to cause accidents or misjudgements amid the escalating tensions between the Chinese and US militaries,” an unnamed source told the South China Morning Post. “The South China Sea is one of the world’s busiest international airspaces, which may put civil aircraft at risk.”
As if to emphasise that risk, Chinese state-controlled media has been lauding combat exercises in the region involving its anti-aircraft units.
“The drills featured some of the top PLA anti-aircraft artillery, and showed the PLA’s readiness to safeguard national security,” the Global Times quotes an unnamed military source as saying.
“In addition to the Army air defence troops, the Air Force is responsible for longer-range air defence, and the Navy will also keep aerial threats from the sea at bay.”
It’s a risky scenario. The former Soviet Union claimed it shot down Korean Air Lines Flight 007 in 1983 because it believed it to be a surveillance aircraft.
In 1988, the cruiser USS Vincennes shot down Iran Air Flight 655 after mistaking it for an Iranian F-14 Tomcat fighter. In 2014, Russian troops operating covertly inside Ukraine shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 thinking it was an opposition warplane. Earlier this year, Iranian missiles downed a Boeing 737 as it took off from Tehran.
“There have been some accidents that happened when ground-based missile defence troops failed to verify intruding aircraft carefully,” Taiwan military analyst Lu Li-shih told the Morning Post. “War allows deceit.”

Japan now arming to kill China ships

Japan Turns Its F-15s Into Ship-Killers

JASDF
It’s official. The Japanese air force plans to add an anti-ship capability to its fleet of F-15Js as part of a comprehensive upgrade to the three-decade-old fighters.
It’s no secret why. As the Chinese navy adds powerful new ships, the Japanese air force adds powerful new ship-sinking weapons.
But pity the poor F-15J pilots, who are already some of the busiest combat aviators in the world—and now must add anti-ship training to their schedule.
Japan acquired 213 F-15s starting in 1980. The J-model is nearly identical to the U.S. Air Force’s C-model F-15, with the exception of uniquely Japanese electronic-warfare gear, data-links and air-to-air missiles.

As such, the F-15s handle most of the hundreds of interceptions the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force undertakes every year as Chinese warplanes intrude on Japan’s Air-Defense Identification Zones.

The JASDF performed a staggering 947 intercepts in 2019—more than any other country. That’s twice as many as the combined air forces of the NATO states undertook in the same period.
"These daily scrambles are gradually wearing the F-15J fleet out,” Peter Layton, an analyst with Australia's Lowy Institute, told CNN. “The concern is that China has some six times more fighters then the JASDF, and could further ramp up intrusions whenever it considers appropriate. The in-service life of Japan's F-15J fleet is now almost a decision that lies with China.”
To keep the F-15s healthy and up-to-date, Japan has funded several major upgrade programs that have added new sensors, weapons, engine modifications and structural enhancements.
The F-15JSI with a JASSM under its belly.
BOEING ART
The latest program aims to transform 98 F-15s into so-called “Japan Super Interceptors.” The U.S. State Department approved the $4.5-billion program in 2019. American aerospace firm Boeing BA +0.2%, which builds the F-15, has signed on to support the effort.
The Japan Super Interceptor program adds the AN/APG-82(v)1 electronically-scanned array radar plus new electronic-warfare gear, GPS and radios. And for the first time, the F-15JSIs will get an air-to-surface weapons.
A Boeing rendering depicts an F-15JSI clutching a Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile Extended Range under its belly. Tokyo this year announced it would acquire JASSM-ER cruise missiles and the Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile—a variant of the JASSM—at a cost of at least a couple hundred million dollars.
JASSM can strike ground targets as far away as 600 miles. LRASM’s range is classified.
At present, the JASDF’s F-2s and F-35s are its primary ship-killers. But these aircraft must contend with a growing number of large Chinese warships. The Chinese navy since 2011 has commissioned two aircraft carriers, several amphibious assault ships and the biggest destroyers outside of Russia and the United States.
Japan’s strategy in a war with China is to blockade the Chinese fleet at the chokepoints between the Japanese islands, Taiwan and The Philippines in order to prevent Beijing’s ships from reaching the open sea. F-15JSIs armed with LRASMs could expand by a third the number of warplanes the JASDF can hurl at a Chinese fleet.
But F-15JSI pilots will have to train for the anti-ship mission while also performing most of the JASDF’s intercepts of Chinese warplanes. Those aviators are about to become some of the busiest in the world.
