CHINA DIZ QUE NAVIO AMERICANO FAZIA ATIVIDADE ILEGAL, INFORMA TV

da Folha Online

O governo chinês afirmou que o navio da Marinha dos Estados Unidos que foi alvo, segundo os americanos, de uma "manobra hostil" de barcos chineses, realizava atividades ilegais perto da costa da ilha de Hainan, informou nesta terça-feira (horário local) o site de uma TV de Hong Kong.

Nesta segunda-feira, o Pentágono protestou contra a ação de cinco embarcações chinesas que atrapalharam a navegação do "USNS Impeccable" no mar da China neste domingo (8). O porta-voz Casa Branca, Robert Gibbs disse que o navio estava em águas internacionais e pediu para que a China respeitasse o direito internacional.

"O navio da Marinha dos EUA [...] estava na zona econômica especial da China conduzindo atividades ilegais de vistoria", informou o comunicado da embaixada chinesa em Washington, segundo a Phoenix Television. "A China não pode aceitar essas acusações não fundamentadas. A China exige que os EUA suspendam todas as atividades ilegais de vistoria."

O incidente aconteceu em um contexto de "crescente agressividade dos barcos chineses" nos últimos dias, segundo o Pentágono, que citou outros incidente na quarta-feira, quinta-feira e sábado passados.

Na semana passada, militares dos dois países retomaram contatos após um período de cinco meses de suspensão da venda de armamento americano a Taiwan, país considerado uma província rebelde pelo governo chinês. O ministro das Relações Exteriores da China, Yang Jiechi, tem uma visita marcada a Washington para esta semana.

Acharia interessante ver quem gostaria de morar na Coréia do Norte, na Alemanha Nazista ou o Afeganistão do Taleban...
Certo tá o Chico Buarque, nosso representante maior da Esquerda Escocesa ... ele adora Cuba... mas prefere passar as férias em Paris mesmo, flanando pela Champ´s Elysées, com uma garrafa de vinho de 500 euros em uma mão e uma bela mulher na outra... Afinal de contas, quem gosta de pobreza é intelectual... comunistas mesmo gostam de luxo... que o diga a Nomenklatura da finada URSS... ou o grande Fidel, que se delicia com o fantástico Pata Negra...
Gente realmente inteligente.

Ferro Neles , Claude !! Esse P-44 passa a vida a beber Vinho do Douro e degustar paellas , porém às margens "del Tajo" , dado seu sangue Castelhano-Marroquino e seu amor pelo FC do Porto .

Ocean Surveillance Ships

Five ocean surveillance ships directly support the Navy by using both passive and active low frequency sonar arrays to detect and track undersea threats.

Vigilância de submarinos?

Se bem me lembro um grande apoiante de Israel (ao início) foi a URSS... por isso talvez existisse, se tivesse mantido uma postura "socialista".

E a diferença entre o que a Marinha dos EUA e a Chinesa é que a primeira faz e a segunda gostaria de ter meios para fazer (e está tentar ter rapidamente), ou julgam que eles não colocariam um navio deste tipo junto a S. Diego...? Antes os EUA em um dia mau (Bush...) do que a China em um dia bom.

Pela descrição não me parece uma actuação muito própria... (Fonte

On March 8, 2009, the Impeccable was reportedly harassed 75 miles south of Hainan, China, while conducting surveys in international waters off the South China Sea.[4] According to the Pentagon the Impeccable was unarmed and was shadowed by five Chinese ships, including a Bureau of Maritime Fisheries Patrol Vessel, a State Oceanographic Administration patrol vessel, a Chinese Navy intelligence collection ship, and two small Chinese-flagged trawlers, which aggressively maneuvered dangerously close to the ship, with two closing in to 50 feet, waving Chinese flags, and ordering the Impeccable from the area.[5] The civilian crew sprayed water at one of the nearest Chinese ships, but the Chinese sailors, despite the force of the water, stripped down to their underwear, and the vessel closed to within 25 feet of the American ocean surveillance ship. Shortly after the incident, the Impeccable radioed the Chinese crews, informing them of its intentions to leave the area, and requesting a safe pass to travel. When trying to leave the area, however, two of the Chinese ships stopped directly in front of the fleeing ship, forcing it to do an emergency stop to avoid a collision.[6][7] The crew aboard one of the Chinese ships also used a grappling hook to try to snag Impeccable's towed sonar array.[8]

This incident was the latest in a string of incidents involving the Impeccable and Chinese vessels. On Thursday, March 5, 2009, a Chinese frigate approached Impeccable and crossed its bow at a range of approximately 100 yards. This was followed less than two hours later by a Chinese Y-12 aircraft conducting 11 fly-bys of Impeccable at an altitude of 600 feet and a range from 100-300 feet. The frigate then crossed Impeccable's bow again, this time at a range of approximately 400-500 yards without rendering courtesy or notice of her intentions.[9][10]

On Saturday, March 7, as reported a Chinese intelligence collection ship challenged Impeccable over bridge-to-bridge radio, calling her operations illegal and directing Impeccable to leave the area or "suffer the consequences."[11]

The United States has lodged formal protests. Under international law, the U.S. military can conduct activities "in waters beyond the territorial sea of another state without prior notification or consent" including in an exclusive economic zone of another country, said a Pentagon spokesman. "The unprofessional maneuvers by Chinese vessels violated the requirement under international law to operate with due regard for the rights and safety of other lawful users of the ocean."[7][12]

Chinese Foreign Ministry says the USNS Impeccable conducted activities in China's special economic zone in the South China Sea, violating international and Chinese law.[13] The territorial claim by China is not recognized by any other country in the region. "China's done this before, they've harassed boats that they feel have intruded into an area they claim," said Wendell Minnick of Jane's Defence Weekly. The real problem, said Minnick, is that China's claim to an "exclusion zone" in the South China Sea does not wash with America or China's neighbours. "They want to claim an area that is way out there. It's closer to Vietnam and the Philippines than it is to China and they're having trouble convincing the rest of the world that it's theirs."[14]

The Impeccable's surveillance mission is focused on undersea warfare. The Chinese government may be particularly interested in this, due to the fact that they operate an estimated 62 submarines, most of which are diesel electric powered. [15].

This incident comes just after the inauguration of President Barack Obama. This has been compared to the Hainan Island incident, which took place shortly after the inauguration of President George W. Bush. In April of 2001, two Chinese J-8 fighter aircraft attempted to intercept a American EP-3E ARIES II, causing a midair collision that resulted in the death of one Chinese pilot and capture and detention of the 24 person crew of the American aircraft for ten days, until their release on April 11, 2001.

Russia, Libya sign warship contract worth up to $200 mln


MOSCOW, March 10 (RIA Novosti) - Libya has signed with Russia a contract worth up to an estimated $200 million to buy three missile boats, a Russian military journal reported on Tuesday.

A contract with Vietnam for the Project 12418 Molniya missile attack boats valued the vessels at $45 million apiece without weapons, so the Libyan contract could be worth a minimum $150 million, and as much as $200 million with arms and spare parts, said Mikhail Barabanov, science editor of the Eksport Vooruzheny (Arms Export) journal.

Russian-Libyan military cooperation was unfrozen when then-President Vladimir Putin visited Tripoli last April, with relations further strengthened by Muammar Gaddafi's subsequent visit to Moscow.

During Putin's visit, the two countries signed a deal to write off $4.6 billion of Libya's debt in exchange for a host of new deals, including $2 billion in arms agreements.

The Molniya contract was awarded to the Rybinsk-based Vympel shipyard.

No further details are currently available on the deal.
