China Calls for Talks With Japan Over Gas Drilling (Update2)
Sept. 21 (Bloomberg) -- China appealed for dialogue as Japan's trade minister said his government is discussing what measures to take after Chinese oil companies started production.

``We are willing to resolve this dispute with Japan through dialogue,'' Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said in a statement posted on the ministry's Web site. China is exploring in undisputed waters within China's territory, he said.

This is the second update Bloomberg has put out today saying essentially the same thing. China wants to talk. I am sure they do, and with the other hand they want to hit.

Japan knows this and will respond accordingly saying we want to talk and with the other hand....?

Pipes

China is shipping pipes to disputed fields in the East China Sea that will likely be used to transport oil and natural gas to the mainland, Japan's Trade Minister Shoichi Nakagawa said.

``It would be a problem if China is doing this after we requested a halt to production,'' Nakagawa said at a press conference in Tokyo. It is ``highly possible'' the pipes will be used to send oil and gas to China as ``there are too many just for developing fields.''

Of course China has no itention of acting in good faith which is and will be greatly played upon by the Japanese media. This Media War will continue for a while until some inevitable 'incident' takes place, if it hasn't already. It is just waiting in the wings to be sprung upon the spoon fed public at the appropriate time.

Japan warns of 'bold action' in E. China Sea

LOS ANGELES, Oct 10 -- Japan's Trade Minister Shoichi Nakagawa has warned that his country will take "bold action" if China is found to be building a pipeline to carry crude oil or natural gas from a disputed region of the East China Sea.

Nakagawa said Japan received information on Oct. 6 that ships carrying lengths of pipe were heading to Tianwaitian and Chunxiao fields.

Taiwan Won't Give Up Claim To Gas Fields

Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Taiwan's Premier Frank Hsieh said his government won't abandon a plan to develop the Chunxiao oil and gas field in the East China Sea, which is also claimed by Japan and China.

``We won't give up our rights to the Chunxiao oil field,'' Hsieh said at a Cabinet meeting in Taipei today, according to an e-mail sent to Bloomberg by the government information office. ``We'll ask the coast guard to step up patrols.''

China, the world's fastest-growing major economy, considers Taiwan a renegade province that must be reunited, by force if necessary. Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian has recently reiterated a demand for China to stop pointing its missiles at the island.

Taiwan Planning Spy Satellite: Report

http://www.spacewar.com/news/spysat-05k.html

Military analysts say that without its own spy satellite, Taiwan cannot establish a functional missile defence system.

Taiwan plans to launch a spy satellite costing 300 million dollars as a result of China's continued hostility towards the island, a newspaper reported Monday.
The satellite would be able to send clear photographs of areas less than a meter square in size, the United Daily News said.

Taiwan currently operates a research satellite designed to send photos of areas as small as two meters square which Beijing says it fears could be used for military purposes.

But Taipei insists the satellite, called Formosa II, which was launched in May in the United States, only monitors the island's land mass and surrounding waters and studies atmospheric conditions.

Military analysts say that without its own spy satellite, Taiwan cannot establish a functional missile defence system.

China has at least 730 short-range ballistic missiles, mostly deployed in coastal provinces facing Taiwan, according to Taiwanese officials.

In a move that is certain to provoke an angry response from China, the ruling party prepared a bill to enable Japan's Coast Guard to protect drilling operations

Japan's ruling party prepared new legislation yesterday to solidify Tokyo's claim to undersea gas fields at the center of a dispute with China and give the Coast Guard the right to protect Japanese drilling facilities there.
The proposed law, to be submitted to Parliament in January, would establish a 500m safety zone around Japanese facilities on the country's continental shelf or in its exclusive economic zone, said Yoshiharu Makino, policy secretary for the bill's sponsor, Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) lawmaker Keizo Takemi.
