En dépit d’un semblant de détente en Asie entre Donald Trump et Kim Jong‑un, la « guerre d’influence en mer de Chine entre Pékin et Washington ne va pas cesser quels que soient les développements sur le dossier nord-coréen » notait le correspondant du journal Le Monde Gilles Paris, envoyé spécial à Singapour, lors d’un live avec les lecteurs du quotidien.

Début juin, le sentiment était le même au sommet annuel du Shangri-La Dialogue à Singapour sur les enjeux de sécurité en Asie-Pacifique.
La ministre française des Armées, Florence Parly avait particulièrement rappelé l’urgence au respect du droit international en mer de Chine du Sud et que la zone était marquée par la compétition entre pays plus que par la coopération régionale qu’il convenait, selon elle, de soutenir.

La limite de 12 milles nautiques (environ 22 km) a une valeur symbolique : elle constitue la largeur maximale des eaux territoriales d’un pays aux termes de la Convention des Nations unies sur le droit de la mer. En pénétrant dans cette zone, Washington ignore de facto les prétentions chinoises sur le récif de Mischief.

  Les É.-U. (ou sa marine) ne veulent pas arrondir les angles : « les officiels » précisent qu’il ne s’agissait pas du droit de passage innocent, mais bien de la confirmation que les É.-U, conformément à la décision de la Cour permanente d’arbitrage de la Haye en juillet 2016, ne reconnaissent pas l’existence d’eaux territoriales autour de Mischief.
  U.S. warship drill meant to defy China’s claim over artificial island : officials | Reuters
  ▻https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-southchinasea-navy-idUSKBN18K353
  Analysts say previous U.S. “freedom-of-navigation operations” in the Spratly archipelago involved “innocent passage,” in which a warship effectively recognized a territorial sea by crossing it speedily, without stopping.
  On Thursday, the destroyer USS Dewey conducted a “man overboard” exercise, specifically to show that its passage within 12 nautical miles was not innocent passage, U.S. officials said.
  “USS Dewey engaged in normal operations by conducting a maneuvering drill inside 12 nautical miles of Mischief Reef,” one official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
  “The ship’s actions demonstrated that Mischief Reef is not entitled to its own territorial sea regardless of whether an artificial island has been built on top of it.”

  Man overboard rescue turn - Wikipedia
  ▻https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_overboard_rescue_turn
  The Williamson turn is a maneuver used to bring a ship or boat under power back to a point it previously passed through, often for the purpose of recovering a man overboard. It was named for John Williamson, USNR, who used it in 1943 to pick up Tim Williamson (USMMA 2002) who had fallen overboard. However, according to Uncommon Carriers by John McPhee, the maneuver was originally called the Butakov pipe and was used in the Russo-Japanese War as a way of keeping guns at the same distance from an enemy.

India becomes “frontline” state in US war plans against China - World Socialist Web Site

India becomes “frontline” state in US war plans against China
7 March 2017
India is to become a major service and repair hub for the US Seventh Fleet—the armada that is at the center of US war preparations against China.
Last month the Pentagon awarded a contract, said to be worth up to $1.5 billion over the next five years, to a shipyard in Gujarat to maintain the Seventh Fleet’s warships, patrol and service vessels.
This is a strategic move aimed at giving flesh and blood to last August’s agreement opening India’s military bases and ports to routine use by the US military for the resupply and repair of its warplanes and warships.

  Indian Navy frigate INS Betwa capsized in dock, two missing

  On Dec 5 Indian Navy frigate INS Betwa slipped off blocks in a dry dock, while leaving dock, and capsized. 14 crew injured, 2 missing, one of them believed to remain trapped inside. The ship was undergoing refit at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai. On a photo from dnaindia.com capsized frigate.
  INS Betwa (F39) is a Brahmaputra-class guided missile frigate of Indian Navy, displacement 3850 tons, armament missiles, guns, torpedoes, crew 440-450, commissioned in 2004.

  Indian Naval Ship Righted After Dock Accident
  ▻http://www.maritime-executive.com/article/indian-naval-ship-righted-after-dock-accident
  Resolve was contracted to conduct an immediate dive survey, then to stabilize, block and support the vessel to allow the drydock to be fully dewatered. Working alongside the Indian Navy, crews inspected all compartments of the vessel, then proceeded to patch and repair all damages, and secure all openings.
  With a sophisticated engineering plan in place, salvage teams were able to complete extensive repairs to the internal tanks as well as the side shell of the vessel. By systematically flooding and pumping compartments, the vessel was rolled upright and done so without the use of any external lifting force.
  The entire salvage operation was concluded in less than two months and required complex hydrodynamic calculations and the use of intricate measuring and monitoring systems.
  The news of the vessel’s righting comes as a board of inquiry constituted to investigate how the INS Betwa toppled found that human error had led to the accident. The incident is reported to have occurred due to a miscalculation of the load distribution equilibrium.
  INS Betwa is expected to be operational by April 2018.

With hope, Chinese-run #Gwadar Port set to operate - The Express Tribune
▻http://tribune.com.pk/story/868338/officially-functioning-with-hope-chinese-run-gwadar-port-set-to-operate
The Chinese-run Gwadar deep-sea port will commence operation formally from this month, starting with fish exports to Gulf countries, said Gwadar Port Managing Director (MD) Dostain Khan Jamaldini.
“The first commercial ship will dock at the port and a new ship lane will be in operation thereafter,” said the MD. “Our target is to make the port fully operational this year.”
The port authorities acquired possession of 2,231 acres of land at the beginning of the year from Pakistan Navy and Pakistan Coast Guard for establishing free-trade zones.
On couple ça avec ceci…
Gwadar–Kashgar trade corridor dilemma
▻http://nation.com.pk/business/13-Apr-2015/gwadar-kashgar-trade-corridor-dilemma
1. The vibrant Chinese economy, manifest and multifaceted, is outreaching to venture into geographical locations still somewhat remote and outlying.
One such option would be the Sea-Silk Road, announced by the Chinese President in a recent visit to the Maldives.
Another option awaiting completion would be the repose of vast potential called the Gwader – Kashgar Trade Corridor.
China is spending billions of dollars on development of her western part of the country i.e.
Kashgar / Xinjiang province which is far from her ports in the east.
China is planning to connect it with Gwadar Port being the shortest access to the sea.

China–Pakistan Economic Corridor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
▻http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%E2%80%93Pakistan_Economic_Corridor
TheChina-Pakistan Economic corridor (CPEC) is an under-construction development megaproject to connect Gwadar Port in southern Pakistan to China’s northwestern autonomous region of Xinjiang via highways, railways and pipelines to transport oil and gas. The project is considered central to the China–Pakistan relations. The economic corridor will run about 3,000 km from Gwadar, a port city in southwest Pakistan, to the northwestern Chinese city of Kashgar. Overall construction costs are estimated at $45 billion, with the project expected to be completed in 2030, according to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun.
(…)
Strategic Importance
When the corridor is constructed it will serve as a primary gateway for trade between China and the Middle East and Africa. In particular oil from the Middle East could be offloaded at Gwadar, which is located just outside the mouth of the Persian Gulf, and transported to China through the Baluchistan province in Pakistan. Such a link would vastly cut the 12,000-kilometre route that Mideast oil supplies must now take to reach Chinese ports.

Pékin essaie de garder le secret sur son deuxième porte-avions

L’armée chinoise a-t-elle été à nouveau trahie par l’un de ses partenaires ? Alors que l’armée refusait de confirmer la construction d’un second porte-avions, le fabricant de câbles Jiangsu Shangshang s’est félicité durant le weekend d’avoir « remporté le contrat pour le deuxième porte-avions chinois », a rapporté un journal de Changzhou, reprenant une information également publiée sur le compte officiel de microblogs de cette ville de l’Est. Les deux communiqués ont depuis été effacés.
