China's SCS Strategy Thread

"Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade will apply an anti-dumping duty at 97% for five years against wind towers imported from China.

Under a decision by the ministry, effective in 15 days from the issuance date December 24, the duty will be levied on wind towers under HS codes 7308.20.11, 7308.20.19, 8502.31.10, and 8502.31.20. The HS codes are subject to updates, the ministry said.

Jiangsu Zhenjiang New Energy Equipment Co., Ltd is the only Chinese entity not subject to the anti-dumping duty.

The ministry clarified that firms in Vietnam can make good wind towers and such products have been exported to major markets such as the U.S., Canada, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Australia, Japan, and South Korea.

However, Chinese firms have delivered their products to Vietnam at dumped prices, hurting the domestic market. The anti-dumping duty aims to restore fair competition in the market, between local products and imported goods, it argued.

Vietnam’s generated and imported electricity in the first 10 months of 2024 reached 258.7 billion kWh, up 10.6% year-on-year, according to state utility Vietnam Electricity (EVN). Wind power accounted for 9.56 billion kWh, or 3.7% of the total."

Vietnam can feel free to not have wind power and continue to get blackouts and buy the electricity from China's grid. Why do them a favor and sell them cheap wind turbines?

Chinese military conducts combat readiness patrols over Huangyan Dao, ‘a message to provocation-seeking countries’

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) Southern Theater Command organized naval and air forces to conduct combat readiness patrols in the territorial waters and airspace around China's Huangyan Dao and its surrounding areas on Sunday, according to the PLA Southern Theater Command's official WeChat account.

Since December, the theater command has continuously strengthened patrol and alert operations in the maritime and aerial areas near the territorial waters of Huangyan Dao, further enhancing control over these areas to resolutely defend national sovereignty and security and firmly maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.

According to a video released by the PLA Southern Theater Command, Y-8 series special operations aircraft, a Su-30 fighter jet and an H-6K bomber were among the aviation forces that participated in the patrols, while a warship flotilla led by the Type 055 large destroyer Xianyang (Hull 108) were among the maritime forces.

Combat readiness patrols differ from routine training exercises, Zhuo Hua, an international affairs expert at the School of International Relations and Diplomacy at Beijing Foreign Studies University, told the Global Times in a previous interview.

This is mainly in response to Americans planes and drones in the area.

Since the US is doubling down on deploying medium-range offensive missile systems in the Philippines, perhaps it is time for China to return the favor and explore the possibility of deploying similar systems in Cuba.
