A high-tech Chinese research vessel has been detected mapping strategically important waters off the Western Australian coast where submarines are known to regularly transit.

Key points:

A Defence official said the ship was mapping waters used by Australian submarines to get to the South China Sea

A Border Force spokesperson said the Xiang Yang Hong 01 had stayed in international waters

In 2018, the Xiang Yang Hong 01 was found to be operating illegally within the Exclusive Economic Zone of Palau

 

In January and February, officials closely tracked the movements of the oceanographic ship as it conducted deepwater surveys in the Indian Ocean near Christmas Island and the Australian mainland.

Hope this works okay. Most sites want membership or payment. Its a pic of the mess of this partial galaxy.

If the above fails, go back to page 10 at the bottom where there is a link only. Shocking what man has done to this planet, but out of site and out of mind.

A couple of years ago people of Western countries were concerned about Mu*sl*ims taking over the world.

They will do and say anything to get Taiwan.

 

Celia, China and Uighers, I read that as I continue to research the decisions of The Chinese Communist Party and their surreptitious movements to control Australia and other countries. 

As Australia is our home, every Aussie should be extremely concerned and more so after reading the information - links below, also bookmark them to send to people who NEED to know how serious is the situation, "She'll be right, mate" will not be so when China owns their home and all their infrastructure.

I agree Mak, it is not good enough to say 'she'll be right mate' it never has been I think that is why the people 46 and under are not responsible people these days sadly to say.

Look what I have just been reading in this mornings mail!

The U.S. Navy has seized an arms shipment of thousands of illicit assault weapons, machines guns and sniper rifles hidden aboard a ship in the Arabian Sea likely headed for Yemen, officials have said. 

The U.S. fifth fleet, based in Bahrain, announced on Sunday that the guided-missile cruiser USS Monterey discovered the weapons aboard a stateless dhow - a traditional Mideast sailing ship - in an operation that began Thursday in the northern reaches of the Arabian Sea off Oman and Pakistan.

An American defense official said the weapons resembled previous shipments which have been intercepted that were bound for Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The Navy's initial investigation found the vessel came from Iran, AP reported. 

Iran's mission to the U.N. did not immediately respond to AP's request for comment on the seizure but Tehran has denied providing rebels with weapons in the past.   

The Navy seized nearly 3,000 Chinese Type 56 assault rifles, a variant of the Kalashnikov. They also recovered hundreds of other heavy machine guns and sniper rifles, as well as dozens of advanced, Russian-made anti-tank guided missiles. The shipments also included several hundred rocket-propelled grenade launchers and optical sights for weapons, AP reported. 

Sailors boarded the vessel and found the weapons, most wrapped in green plastic, below deck.

'The cache of weapons included dozens of advanced Russian-made anti-tank guided missiles, thousands of Chinese Type 56 assault rifles, and hundreds of PKM machine guns, sniper rifles and rocket-propelled grenades launchers,' the U.S Fifth Fleet said in a statement

'After all illicit cargo was removed, the dhow was assessed for seaworthiness, and after questioning, its crew was provided food and water before being released,' the Navy added. 

This recent seizure appeared to be among the biggest in recent years as the long- running war in Yemen continues. 

The Navy's Mideast-based Fifth Fleet said they are investigating the weapons origin and destination. 

'The unique blend of materiel recovered by the USS Monterey appears to be consistent with the materiel from previous interdictions, which have been linked to Iran,' Tim Michetti, an investigative researcher who studies the illicit weapon trade, told AP.

Meanwhile Australia and USA continues to sell weapons to many countries too including those fighting on the other side in Yemen. But the USA like to point out what China and Russia are doing and not themselves.

Thanks Celia,

Since mankind invented spears for sale, weapons and armament equipment creates greed, income and jobs, especially with ongoing wars. Too bad the war-mongering overlord cretins don't have the brains to understand that making equipment for the benefit of the world's people instead of weapons creates the same objective in a peaceful way.

"The truth is out there with the correct answer", one day it will wipe them out of the equation because there achievements continue to me minuses.
