Le 8 Juin, au chantier naval GSI à Guangzhou, les photos prises par un amateur montrent le 5ème et le 6ème pétrolier ravitailleur de Type 903A en construction, ainsi que le 2ème et le 3ème ravitailleurs de récifs de Type 904A. Le 7ème Type 903A est toujours sur cale.
Le 9 Juin, au chantier naval Hudong à Shanghai, on voit le 8ème Type 903A qui vient d'être mis à flot il y a quelques jours.

Le 1er exercice de la série "Franchir 2015 Zurihe" est terminé. Sans trop de surprise pour moi, le camp rouge, la 3ème brigade héliportée de réaction rapide, a perdu contre la brigade OPFOR, représentée par la 195ème brigade d'infanterie mécanisée du 65ème groupe d'armées.
La brigade OPFOR a gagné dans l'épreuve du déploiement et celle de la confrontation, mais a perdu dans le combat en zone urbaine. Ce qui est plutôt normal car la 3ème brigade héliportée du 1er groupe d'armées, appartenant à la région militaire de Nanjing, est spécialisée dans les combats en zone urbaine pour le Taïwan.

Le 2ème exercice, "Franchir 2015 Zurihe B", a déjà commencé. Le camp rouge est joué cette fois-ci par la 119ème brigade d'infanterie motorisée du 40ème groupe d'armées, qui vient de la région militaire de Shenyang. Elle est arrivée aujourd'hui au centre d'entrainement Zurihe après 2000 km de trajet. Tout comme la 3ème brigade héliportée, la 119ème brigade va devoir manoeuvrer sur 370 km encore en condition de combat pour rejoindre la zone de confrontation, contre la même brigade OPFOR.
10 exercices sont prévues cette année dans la série "Franchir 2015 Zurihe", donc 11 brigades différentes.

US struggles for strategy to contain China’s island-building
June 7, 2015 4:14 am
Charles Clover in Beijing and Geoff Dyer in Washington
China’s efforts to dredge new land on remote coral atolls in the South China Sea have left the US struggling to come up with a response.
For Washington, Chinese land-creation has helped make allies of former adversaries now fearful of military domination by an assertive China. The latest example was the trip to Vietnam last week by Ashton Carter, US defence secretary, who pledged US patrol craft to the Vietnamese navy.
But there is a limit to how far countries in the region are willing to present a united front to China, which has reclaimed 2,000 acres of land in the past 18 months, far outstripping all other claimants combined, according to Mr Carter. The Obama administration is also unsure about how strongly it should push back against what US officials see as a long-term Chinese plan to control the region’s waters.
China claims 90 per cent of the waters of the South China Sea, a position contested by neighbours including Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines. But the Obama administration is increasingly finding itself in the uncomfortable position of taking the lead in efforts to confront Beijing, while stumbling in diplomatic action to establish consensus in Southeast Asia on what to do.
“The obvious frustration for the US is that all the Southeast Asian countries, with the possible exception of the Philippines, do not want to make a choice between China, their main trading partner, and the US, the main provider of security in the region,” says Euan Graham of the Lowy Institute in Sydney.
The second problem is that each of these countries has occupied its own islands, and some are doing their own land reclamation. At the Shangri-La security summit last month Mr Carter called on all parties to stop land reclamation. Last year a similar appeal by the US went unheeded by all but the Philippines, and subsequently collapsed.
Other diplomatic efforts include a common “code of conduct” among the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations — four of which have claims in the South China Sea — which would put a commitment not to reclaim land in legally binding language and place additional diplomatic pressure on China.
Asean is split between those countries that do not have claims, which are more China-friendly, and those that do. Meanwhile, China is seeking to deal separately with each claimant.
“In crude terms some might say they are doing divide and rule,” says Ong Keng Yong, former Asean secretary-general and now deputy chairman of the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore.
Meanwhile, as China builds up its islands, others such as Vietnam and the Philippines continue their own island-building efforts. “They are all busy creating facts on the ground, so to speak,” says Mr Yong. “They are all creating a position for future bargaining.”
The Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei each claim some of the Spratlys, while China, Taiwan and Vietnam claim the whole chain. Vietnam occupies many more islands than China does.
However, China’s dredging efforts, which appear to be aimed at creating military facilities including a 3km runway capable of handling fighter jets, dwarfs the others. US analysts fear the next step is for China to claim airspace over the South China Sea by declaring an air defence identification zone once the runway is finished.
“The fear is that China will turn the Sea into a Chinese lake,” says Rajeev Ranjan Chaturvedy of the Institute of South Asian Studies in Singapore.
Faced with such a prospect and indecision among its friends, US officials admit they need to do more to challenge Chinese muscle-flexing, but there is no consensus yet within the Obama administration about how to respond.
Washington recently raised the temperature in the South China Sea by inviting a CNN crew on board a surveillance flight over islands claimed by China, and broadcasting radio challenges by Chinese military on the ground.
Beyond that, the administration is considering conducting what are known as “freedom of navigation” exercises where it would send warships into the waters around the reclaimed Chinese land features. The objective would be not to contest the specific territorial claims, about which the US says it remains neutral. Instead, the US would be showing that it does not recognise the sandbanks as islands with their own territorial waters. Under international law, nations control 12 nautical miles around islands and coasts.
However, the concern within the administration is that an overly aggressive US response could escalate tensions, alienate allies and partners in the region or even lead to an altercation with Chinese naval vessels.
Bonnie Glaser of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington says that while freedom of navigation patrols do not hinge on “buy in” from regional powers, broader diplomatic efforts do.
“It’s important for the US to have support for its actions in the South China Sea, if not from all Asean members then from a key core group,” she says. “In the absence of adequate consultations, diplomatic initiatives fail.”
But such co-operation remains a distant goal, says Mr Graham. “Southeast Asia for the US is something of a fickle audience because no one wants to get too far out in front — everyone has a different idea of the sweet spot they’d like to occupy between the US and China.”

Vietnam sends message to China with bid to buy fighter jets and drones
Acquisitions would further militarise the territorial dispute in the South China Sea, where Beijing has reportedly been building up its presence.
Vietnam is seeking to upgrade its air defences by acquiring western fighter jets and drones, a move which would further militarise a dispute with Beijing over territorial claims in the South China Sea.
Hanoi is speaking to European and US contractors to buy jets, patrol planes and unarmed drones, Reuters reported on Friday.
Several countries claim islands and surrounding waters in the South China Sea, including Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines. China claims most of the area. The naval corridor is an important shipping route and the region is thought to have oil and gas reserves.
Industry sources told Reuters that Vietnam was in discussions with Swedish defence contractor Saab, the European multinational Eurofighter, the defence wing of Airbus and US firms Lockheed Martin and Boeing. The companies and the Vietnamese foreign ministry did not confirm reports.
Carl Thayer, an analyst on the South China Sea at the Australian Defence Force Academy, said Vietnam already has Russian Sukhoi Su-27 and Su-30 fighter jets but its air force is in need of an upgrade.
“Vietnam badly needs modern maritime reconnaissance aircraft to patrol its vast maritime domain,” he said. “Reports that Vietnam has canvassed widely with European and American defence contractors fits its profile of extensive market research and bargaining for the best package deal.”
Vietnam spent $3.4bn (£2.2bn) on defence in 2013, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, and has close to half a million ground forces. Ian Storey, from Singapore’s Institute of South East Asian Studies, said Vietnam wants to reduce its military dependence on Moscow before the Chinese government puts pressure on Russia to reduce weapons sales.
“Although Hanoi knows that its military will always be outnumbered and outgunned by China’s, a strong navy and air force provides it with a limited deterrence and, if push comes to shove, the ability to give China a bloody nose in battle,” Storey said.
China has reportedly started building up its military presence on islands artificially created by land reclamation. On Monday, the secretary of the Australian defence department, Dennis Richardson, said Beijing’s rapid claim on contested islands “dwarfs what the other claimant states have done”.
The South China Sea disputes have already led to altercations. In May, Chinese and Vietnamese ships collided as Beijing tried to set up an oil rig. Vietnam released footage of a Chinese ship ramming and sinking a Vietnamese fishing boat.
Countries in the region have also tried to boost their claims to islands by constructing houses, schools and medical centres on them. The Ho Chi Minh City government’s website in Vietnam said that 180 citizens will be able to join a six-day tourism, fishing and seafood cruise to the contested Spratly archipelago this month.
It called the promotion “the big trip of your life, reviving national pride and citizens’ awareness of the sacred maritime sovereignty of the country”.
Vietnam launches 'sovereignty' cruise to South China Sea islands
In special promotion, 180 Vietnamese will see parts of Spratly archipelago, a move likely to stoke dispute with China over South China Sea sovereignty
Vietnam is offering scores of patriotic citizens the holiday of a lifetime with a cruise to some of Asia’s most hotly contested islands, in a move likely to stoke its simmering dispute with Beijing over South China Sea sovereignty.
In a special US$800 promotion offer, 180 Vietnamese will get to see parts of the disputed Spratly archipelago later this month and take part in night fishing, visit a lighthouse and enjoy local seafood.
High-rollers will have VIP hotel rooms and can fly in on their private helicopters, according to the Ho Chi Minh City government’s website.
The elaborately worded offer is for a six-day cruise that will visit two reefs and two islands in the Spratlys, or Truong Sa in Vietnamese, which the country has occupied for some time despite rival claims.
It makes little attempt to disguise its political flavour, and comes as Vietnam pursues a bolder agenda in pushing its claims in the face of China’s own growing assertiveness.
“Travelling to Truong Sa ... means the big trip of your life, reviving national pride and citizens’ awareness of the sacred maritime sovereignty of the country,” the promotion said.
“Tourists will no longer feel Truong Sa as far away, the blue Truong Sa ocean will be deep in people’s hearts.“
Vietnam, the Philippines, Brunei and Malaysia each compete for jurisdiction of the Spratlys with China, which claims nine-tenths of the South China Sea, a vital global shipping lane with potentially vast energy reserves.
The cruise mirrors those offered by China on ships like its “Coconut Princess“, and illustrates a growing civilian presence in the South China Sea as countries vie to cement their competing claims.
China has been criticised for extensive reclamation work and moves to turn submerged rocks into man-made structures. The United States last week said Beijing had placed mobile artillery systems in contested territory.
Despite close party-to-party ties with Communist neighbour China and nearly $60 billion of annual trade, analysts say Vietnam has taken a harder line since a fresh territorial row erupted last year and wants to boost diplomatic and military alliances.
Its media ran news last month of the opening of a new school on the Spratlys, and Vietnamese troops stationed there joined counterparts from the Philippines in a soccer match.
The cruise is a trial run ahead of Vietnam’s tentative plans to put the Spratlys on its tourism map, including scheduled passenger flights, possibly this year.
The description reads like a brochure for a Caribbean holiday.
“See 300 species of coral creating wonderful reefs in sparkling colours, in ravishing, fantastic beauty,” it says. “Watch the sunrise over the ocean, and say goodbye to the sunset in the evening amid the immense sky and sea.”

And, snapback provisions are not limited to US sanctions alone. The international coalition that put together the current multilateral sanctions regime remains united in the view that Iran must face the full force of international sanctions if it fails to meet its obligations under the agreement. We are still developing the exact mechanisms by which sanctions stemming from UN Security Council Resolutions would be re-imposed. But we will not allow such a snapback to be subject to a veto by an individual P5 member, including China or Russia.
