India, Singapore to focus on advanced manufacturing, connectivity to boost bilateral relations

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Japan says a Chinese military intelligence aircraft violated Japanese airspace on Monday.</li><li>Japan scrambled fighter jets in response to the unprecedented incident.</li></ul>Japan accused China of flying a spy plane into Japanese airspace on Monday.China regularly deploys military aircraft into international airspace above the East and South China Seas, and into contested airspace, but this incident would be the first known time that one of its planes has directly violated Japanese territorial airspace.Japan's Ministry of Defense reported the unprecedented incident on Monday, noting that the Chinese Y-9 intelligence-gathering plane briefly entered Japan's airspace near the Danjo Islands, located to the southeast of Nagasaki.The Chinese military aircraft was in Japanese airspace for three minutes, from approximately 11:29am to 11:31am, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.mod.go.jp/j/press/news/2024/08/26d.html">per Japan's defense ministry</a>. Japan's Air Self-Defense Force scrambled fighter jets in response, but they didn't fire any weapons or flares.The Japanese defense ministry also shared maps of the Chinese Y-9's flight path.<div type="image" title="A map showing the flight path, colored in red, of a Chinese spy plane in the airspace around Japanese islands." height="515" width="800" msid="112815616" hostid="261" sizebytes="33138"></div>Per the map, the Y-9 briefly enters the territorial airspace for the Danjo Islands before circling around to return to China.<div type="image" title="A map showing a closer look at a Chinese spy plane's flight path in the territorial airspace of Japan's islands." height="562" width="800" msid="112815617" hostid="261" sizebytes="27636"></div>In response to the incursion into its airspace by the Chinese plane, Japan warned China against further reoccurrences, with the Japanese Foreign Ministry saying Vice Foreign Minister Masataka Okano summoned a senior official from the Chinese embassy in Tokyo to discuss this matter.China regularly operates <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-us-sub-hunter-planes-learned-watching-russian-sub-florida-2024-7">military aircraft in international airspace</a>, which international law allows. But Monday's event, per Japanese allegations, is the first publicly confirmed time a Chinese plane has entered Japan's territorial airspace.The incident comes at a precarious time for Chinese-Japanese relations, which have warmed in recent months after years of tense territorial disputes and trade spats. After a meeting with his Japanese counterpart last month, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said relations between the two nations were at a critical stage."China's policy towards Japan has always maintained stability and continuity. It is hoped that the Japanese side will establish an objective and correct perception of China and pursue a positive and rational policy towards China," Yi told Japan's Yoko Kamikawa in July per a Chinese Foreign Ministry readout.During their conversation, the two diplomats discussed various issues affecting the bilateral relationship, from the release of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant last fall to matters relating to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/red-flags-tell-us-when-chinas-ready-to-invade-taiwan-2024-4">Taiwan</a>.Although Monday's incident marks the first reported airspace violation, tensions in the air have long been something of a strain on the Chinese-Japanese relationship. Between April 2023 and March 2024, Japan scrambled jets over 600 times, mostly in response to Chinese military aircraft.

They will likely discuss little else aside from the border issue. This after a series of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/defense/news/new-skirmish-at-india-china-border-along-pangong-tso-lake/articleshow/77989048.cms">fresh skirmishes were reported</a> between the two sides, along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) at Pangong Tso Lake. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="78014444" title="India-China border hotspot Pangong Tso Lake sees fresh build up of Chinese troops" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> “These are all mind games, with Jaishankar going to Moscow — these are all regular pressure tactics,” former diplomat and a distinguished fellow with Gateway House, Rajiv Bhatia told Business Insider. According to him, the question is no longer about why the border dispute is occurring in the first place, but how to end it and get on with life. Call for ‘very, very deep conversations’ by Jaishankar At his book launch earlier this week, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/defense/news/china-accuses-india-of-gunshot-threats-ahead-of-jaishankars-likely-meet-with-beijings-foreign-minister-in-moscow/articleshow/77990856.cms">Jaishankar said the situation between India and China</a> “calls for very, very deep conversation between the two sides at a political level”. According to Bhatia, the ‘political levels’ which Jaishankar is referring to imply three levels — the Foreign Minister, the National Security Advisor (NSA), and the Prime Minister. “Unless they create a fourth one, which could be anyone’s guess,” he quipped. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="77743778" title="Experts explain India’s 'military options' against China" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> Right now, the engagement is taking place at the Foreign Minister-level. However, if the India-China border dispute worsens, even the NSA could be pressed into the job. “And his counterpart on the Chinese side may have a slightly higher rank,” added Bhatia. India doesn't want to give China any wiggle room Four months ago, when the initial clash between the two sides occurred in Galwan Valley, many believed that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/defense/news/the-next-few-days-are-going-to-stormy-for-india-and-china-says-a-former-diplomat-and-retired-lieutenant-general/articleshow/76438507.cms">India may resort to postponing</a> any multilateral or bilateral engagements with China. India has instead decided to stand its ground and give China no space to make any claims on an international stage without India present. “India will keep plurilateral engagements on, even if that plurilateral includes China,” explained Bhatia. He also believes that Indian troops are likely to see resoluteness on the border from the Chinese side. Not only is China engaged with India along the LAC, but <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/defense/news/not-only-india-hong-kong-taiwan-vietnam-and-japan-also-facing-chinese-army-aggression-on-border-issue/slidelist/76418800.cms">it is also reportedly </a>infiltrating Taiwanese airspace, and sailing through disputed water in the South China Sea. “You are dealing with a country which is obviously a master at handling multiple fronts and multiple levels of engagement. We have to recognise all that and be conscious of its significance,” he said. With de-escalating and disengagement looking unlikely, troops on both sides of the border have been preparing to settle in for the harsh winters in the Himalayas. The Indian Army <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/defense/news/indian-army-is-loading-supplies-in-ladakh-fearing-the-worst-for-india-china-border-issue/articleshow/77122683.cms">began its Advance Winter Stocking (AWS) exercise back in July</a>, as it accounts for the fact that it will have more mouths to feed this year.

India-China border tensions are a part of "mind games" ahead of the meeting between the two foreign ministers, says former diplomat

The <keyword id="1575" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="congress" source="Orion">Congress</keyword> on Monday accused the Centre of not accepting the truth and alleged that since May 2020, the Modi government's preferred strategy to deal with the Chinese incursions in Ladakh can be summed up with "DDLJ -- Deny, Distract, Lie and Justify". Congress General Secretary in-charge Communications Jairam Ramesh in a statement on Monday said, "External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's recent remarks attacking the Congress party are simply the latest attempt to divert attention from the Modi government's failed China policy, the most recent revelation being that since May 2020 India has lost access to 26 of 65 patrolling points in Ladakh." He said the fact is that there is no comparison between 1962, when India went to war with China to defend its territory, and 2020 after which India has acquiesced to Chinese aggression with denials followed by 'disengagements' in which India has lost access to thousands of square kilometres of territory. Jairam alleged that "EAM Jaishankar's implied cheap shot at Rahul Gandhi for meeting the Chinese ambassador in 2017 is ironic to say the least coming from someone who as ambassador to the US during the Obama administration presumably met with leading Republicans. "Are opposition leaders not entitled to meet diplomats from countries that are important from a trade, investment and security standpoint?" he asked. The Modi government should have been truthful from the start and taken the opposition into confidence by discussing the China crisis in parliamentary standing committees and debating the issue in Parliament. "At a very minimum it should have held detailed briefings for leaders of major political parties," he said. "It is extraordinary that EAM Jaishankar has admitted on several occasions that he has no idea why China has turned aggressive on the Line of Actual Control, notwithstanding the unusually frequent contacts between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping and the PM's boast that he enjoys a special 'Plus One' relationship with President Xi," Ramesh said. He said, "No amount of obfuscation can hide the fact that the Modi government has sought to cover up India's biggest territorial setback in decades that followed PM Modi's naive wooing of President Xi. "We suggest that EAM Jaishankar and the government spend more time trying to get Chinese troops out of Depsang and Demchok and less time on blaming the opposition for their own incompetence," he said.
