- A 2021 Chinese Coast Guard Law is being employed incrementally in the Taiwan Strait to test the resolve of Taiwan and their Allies. The 'Kinmen Model' is the inspection and expelling of shipping by any means necessary including the use of weapons in 'Marine Areas of Chinese Jurisdiction.'

It Has Begun: Chinese Coast Guard has 'Rammed' and 'Towed' a Philippine supply ship away from the Spratly Islands injuring the BRP crew. www.voanews.com/a/china-philippines-at-odds-over-who-s-at-fault-in-ship-collision/7658620.html US Ambassador stated the incident happened at Second Thomas Shoal.
June 20 2024: Chinese CG aggression continues to escalate near Philippines. Japanese flag vessels now involved, location unknown. x.com/TeamAFP/status/1803457306916692057
🤖🚫:2 The International Water corridor between Taiwan and China exists and is open to all shipping regardless of who controls Taiwan.
Any Coast Guard can operate away from home waters. US CG does it all the time. The issue is No Coast Guard can perform Customs inspections for port entry unless directed by the Port themselves. USCG is not performing Customs Inspections for port entry outside the United States unless directed by that homeport country.
yes its international waters, but is it right for the US navy to pass through? it is a good faith act? do you carry guns walk around your neighbors just as you can?

@@SubBriefwe will find out how true RUclips videos and Wikipedia articles on PLA hypersonic missile can’t yet target ship. If this whole thing go up in smoke.
@SubBrief we both know where this is going. American politics are playing to soft with a dangerous antagonistic super power. Like I said before it's Germany all over again. The need to nip this in the bud. A week or so of zero chinese product being allowed into the us or threaten to take away American business away from the country entirely. Go to India or another cou try with capacity to handle our business. Continuing to pay into thier hand will end in another world war.
What y'all seem to be missing: There's this taiwanese company called TSMC. Biggest chip maker in the world. They make the chips for NVidia, Qualcomm, and many others. All the oh-so-hot AI-stuff is running on those chips. The west can not afford these shipments to be stopped. It'll be like the covid chip crisis all over again. This isn't some issue at the end of the world, this affects us very directly.
With the difference that it will hardly go to pre-Covid state.
Not a huge problem.
Chips are valuable, small and light. Can be flown out.
A lot of them probably already are.
The machines to make them are far far more valuable than the chips. They say they can cut the machines off remotely but to think China can’t intercept that with a few well paid sympathizers is naive
Many of us weren't missing this. We filed it under 'stating the obvious'.
What you describe is the reason why governments are encouraging chip makers to open plants where the users are located. EU, US etc
Trust I wasn't telling y'all how to suck eggs! ;)
@@ZappyOh If the Taiwanese have trouble trading the entire Taiwanese economy will be affected and eventually the chip-production as well even if its possible to fly out the chips.
Even if they maintain most of their production that means a severe reduction of the entire worlds high end chips. That will have huge effects.
looks like the world needs to do some "reef building" exercises out there.
The Gigachad Western response would be to have the entire 7th Fleet do a Good Will port call in Taiwan, and dare the PRC 'customs' blockade to try to stop and inspect them.
The cowards in power in the West are just going to send a strongly worded letter though.
There will absolutely be a stand off in that scenario and not one the 7th fleet wishes to be in given that it is in range of an enormous amount of Chinese missiles and aircraft.
7th fleet didn't do it in 1990s, what makes you think it can do that today?

coalition convoy: we'll watch from far far away.
U mean that coalition fleet that's hiding far from those houthi trawler boats?
a) Neither China, Taiwan or USA are signatories of ICLS (Law of the Seas) so it does not apply to the Taiwan Straits.
b) China is 100% crystal clear about the territory of its Maritime Jurisdiction. It doesn't have to accommodate other governments disputes in it's sovereign policy statements.
Ofc it does you muppet
I really like your seasoned style of logic to the situation. Thanks mate.
Can't wait until they try to do a inspection of a USN vessel or U.S. flagged merchant ship in the international waters.
Thanks Aaron for the info .
I couldn't agree more with your assessment however you missed a piece. China recently authorized the Coast Guard to detain ships and crews that enter Chinese waters for 60 days. So for countries who "don't think correctly" the Chinese can use this as leverage.
You are right. I didn’t read that.

More practice for a blockade and invasion.
Things that keep me up at night. I suppose that Coast guard ships from the United States, Japan, the Philippines, and maybe a few other countries like Canada and Australia would conduct anti-piracy operations in the area or simply escort cargo vessels going to Taiwan. A determined International response would hopefully force the PRC away from this.
On a related note, June is such a lovely time to visit Sarajevo
How will they defend Taiwan when they can't defeat the Houtis
China coastguard currently have three times of ships and they are bigger and heavier than those three countries combined. And they are operating just few hundred kilometers away from their base. It’s obvious who can sustain operations longer.
all (plenty) 1st generation of 052 (or 054, forgot) are given to the coastguard, many possibilities they still keep lots of things inside.
I like how despite there not being any PLAN ships in the exercise, the ships used are Type054A and Type056A hulls which are used by the PLAN. They probably have facilities to accommodate most of their military weapons suites with a small amount of shipyard modifications.
Good information but a scary story.😮
Going back to the US Civil War, President Lincoln blundered when he declared that the southern ports were under "blockade". That implied vis a vis international law that the Southern States (The Confederate States of America) were a separate and sovereign country.
He should have declared the southern ports "Closed", which means that the United States still considers those ports US sovereign territory, but that they were off-limits to foreign shipping.
A blockade will not go unchallenged, it’s that simple.
Nothing will happen. The US has a leader with NO BALLS so nothing will be done.
It’ll be interesting to see the US response to a maritime operation like this if/when it comes to fruition, given that they have geopolitical and economic interests in Taiwan. The results of the election will definitely effect said response
I don't think either party is interested in allowing China to limit freedom of navigation in international shipping lanes.
@@michaelsilberg9059 Yeah but they know Trump can simply be bought off like they did with him and TicTok!
They will do absolutely nothing *until* and unless the CCP commits an act of war. Then they will relegate the PLAN into the past tense.
I’m convinced Trump will throw Taiwan under the bus, he’s been saying very nice things about Xi since Trump had that meeting with Orban (who is also a big fan of xi). The Chinese bots have also switched over to anti-Biden rhetoric on Twitter.
You should discuss about the recent spotting of Type 094 surfacing in the Taiwan straits
$278,200,000,000 through the ports is an immense amount of gdp.
Edit: I also noticed that the inspection team don't wear high visibility ppe. 😂
N=1, but I'd be extremely interested in a deep dive into the so-called "Great Underwater Wall". Surface actions make the news... Subsea actions make history-even if we don't know it yet.
Interesting.
Blockade, with chinese characteristics.
Great Power doing great power things even if it is really a faux Great Power.
I understand the concern with the delay of shipping, but in my understanding of Maritime law as a Coast guard entity, they do have the ability to conduct "Right of Approach" & "Right of Visit" boardings. In the USCG if we ask a vessel to stop and they don't, we will advise we will compel compliance in accordance with International Law.
Now, what I just said is super brief and not the whole process we go through to do that. Also, not a legal or boarding officer so don't quote me 😅
There's a big difference between interdicting a ship here and there when you have evidence that it's up to something nefarious
and
Blockading a country to starve out millions of people.
How well would the US tolerate Mexico interdicting ships going to Florida, New Orleans, Texas and Southern California?
To their own coast, sure. Not to the coast of another country. And there's the crux of the issue.

missing SHT is common on a long voyage. those tiles come off regularly. As for what effect it has? well, it's not good. you can get a damaged tile slap at some speeds. otherwise the crew would not realize it until they surfaced and saw it.

Using an ashored vintage landing ship to make claim on territory that was not in the original US Spain treaty is very creative😂😂😂. More over China let it sat for over 24 years is showing the reality of international relations.
In the US,are the US CBP and US Coast Guard bureaucratically related/subordinate to a common civil authority? No doubt they've had to work together on an operation or two.
Just an interesting comparison to China's General Administration of Customs (GAC) who, last I checked, are not bureaucratically related to the People's Armed Police, who now oversee the Chinese Coast Guard. To my knowledge, no one has raised any fuss at all over how the GAC goes about their work.*
There are numerous jurisdictions who do not separate these portfolios.

Taiwan needs to invest in mines, A LOT of them
That’s brutal
There's a lot of common points with Cuba
As China states that the Taiwan is part of their country, and Taiwan passively acts as independent, without enforcing that they are a separate country, I believe that this is intended by China to make Taiwan ether accept that they are part of China (let these inspections happen) or force them to finally declare independence openly (by not complying with these inspections). This would possibly give China (at least in their eyes) permission to use force (to prevent the separatists from bracing away).
the cpc are the real separatist.. mao zedong is a rebel..
What if nobody complied?
Golf of Mexico is now off limits to all Chinese shipping
That would last less than 12 hours, then everyone would open their borders, because everone is dependent on their production (even prescription drugs and other critical things and tools), nevermind the harbours were sold to Chinese companies, too.

@johnchin1456 they say that they have, and also, what actions that we are intimated enough to allow them to do.
This makes a ton of sense. I suspect that any international reaction would be proportional to how strict the not-blockade actually is. If it merely reduced Taiwanese trade, or just blocked weapons shipments, for example, maybe the diplomatic response would... stay diplomatic, shall we say.
"Coast Gaurd "...
interesting (and horrifying) how the Chinese coast guard sailors don't have names anywhere on their uniforms - only numbers. That somehow seems so wrong, reducing human beings to numbers, and yet so consistent with CCP standards.
Yes, very Orwellian.
You assume names are not used since they are not on uniform and that they are if they are. Both can be wrong - officer can know every face, name and care for every sailor or only go "sailor this, sailor that", despite names on uniform, taking personhood from person.
Kinda leaning towards existing bias imo.

Yeah that tracks. Andrew Bustamante thought China would enact legal manuveurs, in a way they did with Hong Kong a few years back. Pretty clever if it works.
They already have started the Hong Kong model on the RoC. Look at their recent reforms in their version of Congress. It was always weak due to the history of the RoC, but recently it is trying to acquire more power since the DPP is likely to keep winning presidential elections and the KMT/TPP legislative elections.
Rules based order coming back to bite. ;) Chinese just following their (new) rules, don't they?
i get your point sub brief but we have to take into account the larger picture which is that 1: the us never signed the convention of the sea in 1982 and 2: the us coast guard operates in the south china sea
The US Coast Guard does not conduct Customs Inspections in the SCS.
@@SubBrief i sure hope it doesn't conduct customs inspections 7000 miles away from the US mainland + I was also emphasizing on the #1 that the US never signed the law of the sea
The update to this law came in effect June 15, almost immediately we saw the consequence with the Chinese coastguard boarding (under gun point) a Philippine supply vessel crewed with Philippine armed forces soldiers confiscating their weapons !
Are they going to selectively enforce this ? I can not imagine they would risk something like this if a U.S ship would try to supply the Philippines stationed on the Second Thomas Shoal.
They might not board but they will block because they consider that reef as their sovereign territory
China will put themselves in a position where Taiwan will escalate because by escalating they are putting themselves in better position, allies will be forced to help directly.
USCG forces also do the same thing. From USCG website, "Coast Guard forces possess the authorities, capabilities and capacity to carry out homeland security and defense operations, either under Coast Guard control or under the control of a Department of Defense Combatant Commander."
The world may react or not!
I find this dissertation interesting. The us coast guard within the past few years has transitioned to DHS while the Chinese have done the exact opposite in being a substrate of the PLAN. I believe our USCG did this to shift their funding which confused Washington even more than they were. Chinese have according to this video executed a brilliant naval plan by utilizing their Coast Guard and civilian ships in a blockade and freeing up PLAN for direct Naval to Naval deterrence. Stunning naval college territorial dominance.
The USCG still chops to USN command in wartime, but its primary role in peace time falls more fully under DHS's law enforcement authority.

China. . .
BigSarge! What's up my dude?
I believe this to be yet another prima facie case of China observing an international treaty for as long as it suits them and /or they feel they have developed enough force to impose their will.
So far as I'm aware. A coastguard ship flagged in nation A, cannot board a ship flagged in nation B, so long as the ship from nation B is not within nation A's twelve mile limit. Unless the captain accedes to a request to board.
That is as far as a nation's jurisdiction extends. A nation can claim a two hundred nautical mile economic exclusion zone around it's coast where it has control over resources but that does not extend to ships or people.
As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China can block any resolutions on the matter submitted by the US, UK or any other Security Council member. Russia would likely side with China, in terms of it's vote. (I don't know whether countries not sitting on the Security Council can submit motions, or the related mechanisms)
Its typical Chinese tactics to observe any law so long as it doesn't conflict with their interests. Such as with the Hong Kong Treaty with the UK, that they have now repudiated.
However, it would seem legally suspect, IMO, for a nation to observe an international treaty, such as The Law of the Sea, for forty two years since they signed it and then choose to ignore it unilaterally. Breaches of The Law of the Sea can take a decade or more to arrive at a final verdict, which is probably what China is counting on.
China is probably counting on what it possibly feels is its parity of forces with the US, given what the US can realistically deploy to the Taiwan Strait. More importantly, China is using the political instability in the US , caused by the Presidential Election. An EU focused on Ukraine. As well as Russian acquiescence as a quid pro quo for Chinese and North Korean help with ammunition, arms and PLAN 'advisors' who have been observed in Eastern Ukraine. China used the Korean War (1950 - 1953) to invade Tibet. Despite its invasion of Tibet and the subsequent genocide and many other abuses of human rights. China was given a permanent seat on the UN Security Council in 1971.
I would argue that engagement and WTO admission in 2001 has enabled China to build up it's military and regional influence. WE have in fact paid for the Chinese military by buying all of the cheap goods that China flooded the world with. It's goal is to replace most of the rest of the world's electric car production over the next two decades alongside Korea. And it is on course to do so.
Either we boycott Chinese goods, pull our companies out of China and stop supplying China with the raw materials it needs, so long as they flout the international treaties they've signed up to. As well as eject them from all representative bodies, such as the UN, IMO and WTO etc. Which given China's internal security problems, may topple the CCP. Or, we accept that the foreseeable future belongs to China.
9:00 Chinese Military Command Cyborg 9836606 reciting his programming. ... Interesting idea. If they kill civilians or other "foreign ships" legally there and get caught they can declare it an unfortunate malfunction. ;)
They will push however far people let them and stay exactly there. As for the Republic of China, it's getting a Hong Kong treatment with the businesses/politicians falling in.
A blockade would be basiclly a war declaration on Tawan! And then we will find out who is bluffing or not or possibly worse ! Either way we will see !
It will be very interesting if the CCP Coast Guard attempts to board a ship carrying US weapons to Taiwan. I understand the latest agreement is for Taiwan to purchase a number of Switchblade drones.
if they decided to do it, they'll do it at all cost. even if it start ww3.
Cosplay Chinese Navy.
This shouldnt be an issue for the US as its not a member of UNCLOS anyway.
Taiwan is a good tech and parts manufacturer. I bet they can ramp up AI enhanced sea drone production rapidly, and sink anything in the ocean in quantity.

I think the US and Taiwan (and probably Japan and the UK) will test freedom of navigation through such a CCP embargo. It starts with a U.S. owned, flagged, and crewed cargo ship, and others traveling towards Taiwan, with an escort fleet made from US (and probably Japanese and UK) warships standing by to escort the merchant fleet to and from Taiwan.
As long as there is a U.S. owned, flagged, and crewed ship involved, the US has an obligation to protect such a ship that is operating lawfully.
Taiwan food production currently runs at 31% of consumption, Fourteen thousand Sq miles (a little bigger than Maryland) and twenty-four million people. It has a couple of weeks before it is in serious trouble. And a Berlin style Airlift won't cut it. Given the shallowness of the South China Sea, and the Taiwan straits in particular. There may exist a deep water channel through the straits, but any sub going in a conflict situation ain't coming out.
In a conflict over Taiwan with the US, the cards are stacked heavily in Chinas favour, I believe that this is well understood by the USA. However; China main concern will be to protect vital economic assets intact, this precludes an Ukraine style conflict. I think a no-fly zone and blockade will be the preferred option, no fly will of course include civilian aircraft.
It will be up to the USA if they wish to broaden the conflict, one they know they cannot hope to win.
To be fair, the US Coast Guard is a branch of the US armed forces and were patrolling the Persian Gulf, which to my knowledge is very far away from US coastal waters.....
Not anymore. The coasties fall under DHS. That change was made back in, what??, 2008 maybe.
The USCG is under DHS and is also the 5th branch of the armed forces.
I dont understand why its not a breach of international law to have coast guards ships outside of coastal waters. Its soft military.
US would be the first in line against that idea.
11:50 Can other countries do that to ships going to or coming from CCP China?
Now, we get closer to the embargo against Japan before Pearl Harbor. What is their choice?

They wan't to act like Pirates. Then they should be treated as such.
This scenario is ridiculous I'm going to enjoy watching the Chinese coast guard trying to board the Harry S. Truman when she's sent to make her first port visit 2 Taiwan which is exactly what will happen the first time this ridiculous nonsense is tried
Can't wait to see the TikTok postings of millennials crying that they cannot play video games on their gaming computers because a shortage videochips. 😂
Evil will always win, because good is stoopid.
good is dumb. -Lord Dark Helmet
@@SubBrief good catch, should have googled it. Nice video.👍
evil always call others evil so nobody suspect that they are the evil?
Will the Chinese Coast Guard truly hail a US Navy or USNS or US Army ship to " Heed to, for "inspection?" Channel 16 communication. 😮
you should send them so we don't have to guess
@@YSKWatch Send who? Thanks
one thing I notice on a lot of these "candid" military videos from borderline/wannabe super-powers... it's staged straight out of the 1960s. if you look at most US videos guys are acting normal and generally doing their duty like regular dudes (and dudettes).
when you see these types of videos from China/Russia/North Korea, everyone is stoic, the leader is, quite literally, shouting orders into the phone like it doesn't have a microphone, and they've lined 5-6 of the best-looking soldiers next to them randomly and said "look straight ahead and don't smile." on a US ship all those people would be at stations, you know, doing their jobs.
It's like seeing computer graphics from 1996 - it sticks out like a sore thumb. the video here was like seeing the Rock come out as the Scorpion King to me.
