🇦🇺🇨🇳 Australia criticizes China for 'unsafe, unprofessional' naval interaction
Australia's government said on Saturday it had expressed serious concerns to China after an "unsafe and unprofessional" interaction between an Australian navy vessel and Chinese warship left Australian military divers injured.
Defense Minister Richard Marles said the HMAS Toowoomba - a long-range frigate - was conducting a diving operation in Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone on November 14 to clear fishing nets from its propellers when the incident occurred.
According to the ministry, nearby Chinese ship was detected operating its hull-mounted sonar in a manner that posed a risk to the safety of the Australian divers who were forced to exit the water.

🇨🇳🇧🇳 China's Xi offers more investment in South China Sea claimant Brunei
China offered to buy more goods from Brunei and to encourage investment in the Islamic sultanate as President Xi Jinping lauded relations with the tiny nation.
In his meeting with Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah in San Francisco, Xi said China would welcome more exports from Brunei, tell more Chinese enterprises to set up shop in the Southeast Asian country, and expand cooperation in areas such as food security.
Brunei has counted China as one of its biggest foreign investors and an important force in its efforts to create a more diversified economy, with its crude oil reserves expected to be totally depleted in a few decades.

🇹🇼🇺🇸🇨🇳 Taiwan’s Apec envoy chats with Biden at summit, but not Xi
Taiwan’s Apec envoy Morris Chang said that he had informal interactions with US President Joe Biden and discussions with Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the economic group’s summit in San Francisco, but none with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Chang, the founder of Taiwanese chip giant TSMC, said he had also talked with US Vice-President Kamala Harris on the sidelines of the annual event, in a replay of their meeting last year in Thailand, where Chang also met Xi.
Given that both Taiwan and Beijing are members, Apec is one of the few global forums where officials from the two sides can interact, even if just to exchange pleasantries.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said that Japan will continue urging China to lift its import ban on Japanese seafood following the oceanic discharge of treated radioactive water from a nuclear power plant.
Kishida stated it is not clear when the import restriction will be removed, a day after he called on Chinese President Xi Jinping during their summit to abolish it immediately.
"We agreed to find a way to solve this issue through consultations and dialogue in a constructive manner," Kishida said. "I ask (China) to make a cool-headed judgment and take a constructive approach based on scientific analysis and facts."

🇯🇵 Japanese troops drill on island seen as vulnerable to China
Japanese marines in amphibious assault vehicles stormed an island beach at the edge of the East China Sea on Sunday in a simulated attack to dislodge invaders from territory that Tokyo worries is vulnerable to attack from China.
The drill on the southwest island of Tokunoshima capped an 11-day series of exercises nationwide dubbed 05JX, meant to show the readiness of ground, sea and air forces to defend Japan's territory and infrastructure, including nuclear power plants.
The scope and pace of military exercises in Japan are likely to increase over the next few years, including with US forces, after Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in December unveiled the country's military buildup.

🇹🇼 Taiwan opposition bicker over joint presidency bid
A potential joint bid for Taiwan's presidency by the island's two main opposition parties was in disarray as they bickered on how to agree on who will run for president.
After weeks of sometimes acrimonious talks on joining up for the presidential election, the Kuomintang (KMT) and the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) agreed on Wednesday to look at an aggregate of opinion polls to decide which party's candidate would run as president and which as vice president.
But both parties failed to reach agreement on how to interpret opinion polls and thus decide who will stand for what position by an originally scheduled deadline of Saturday.

Vietnam has been ramping-up its dredging and landfill work in the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea, creating another 133 hectares of land since December last year.
The expansion, much larger than 49 hectares it had created from 2012 to last year, made Vietnam second only to China in terms of island buildup in the Spratly Islands.
China claims sovereignty over vast swathes of the South China Sea, including the areas where Vietnam has been building up islands.

His running mate, Hsiao Bi-khim, who had been Taiwan's de facto ambassador to the United States since 2020, has extensive connections in Washington, and had been widely expected to be Lai's running mate.
Rupert Hammond-Chambers, president of the US-Taiwan Business Council who has known Hsiao since the 1990s, said she was a "formidable politician", and would add much needed diplomatic and security heft to Lai's ticket.

Albanese, who met briefly with Chinese president Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperatio forum in San Francisco last week, has come under domestic political pressure over whether he raised the matter with the Chinese leader.
In an interview on Monday, Albanese said the incident caused injury to one person and shows the need for "communication guardrails" between militaries. Albanese said the incident was raised through "all of the normal channels", but didn't disclose if it was discussed in his private meeting with Xi at APEC.

The Philippines has approached neighbors such as Malaysia and Vietnam to discuss a separate code of conduct regarding the South China Sea citing limited progress towards striking a broader regional pact with China.
Marcos said escalating tension in the South China Sea required the Philippines to partner with allies and neighbors to maintain peace in the busy waterway, with the situation now "more dire".
"We have taken the initiative to approach those other countries around ASEAN with whom we have existing territorial conflicts, Vietnam being one of them, Malaysia being another and to make our own code of conduct," President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said.

🇺🇸🇲🇾 The USA is trying to spread its influence in the Southeast Asia region – and that it’s a fact. According to Rybar new article, the CIA and the Malaysian External Intelligence Organization are conducting reconnaissance operation on the South China Sea.
The main tasks of the operation include managing the threat from China and other countries in national waters, strengthening cooperation with internal and external partner agencies, and providing research in gray zones.
It is proposed to carry out these tasks not only by the forces of the two intelligence agencies, but also to involve government and civilian organizations. For example, the Sarawak Forestry Corporation is mentioned, which deals with protected areas and biodiversity conservation.
In addition to aerial observation, the working group proposed getting 3D hydrological and seismic data in disputed areas in the waters of the South China Sea, where Malaysia has territorial claims to China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Brunei and Indonesia. Petronas, Malaysian oil company, is also a part of the operation.
I wonder, how many other clandestine operations does CIA conduct in the Southeast Asia? The Philippines and Indonesia are highly likely to participate in them in order to counter China’s influence and have good relations with Washington.
