Chinese Carrier Sails in EEZ near Minamitori Island; Japanese MSDF Vessels Observe No Dangerous Behavior

Courtesy of the Joint Staff of the Defense Ministry The Chinese Navy aircraft carrier Liaoning is seen in the waters near Iwoto Island on Sunday. The Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning was sailing on Saturday in waters about 300 kilometers southwest of Minamitori Island, including within Japan's exclusive economic zone around the island, the Defense Ministry has announced. Fighter jets and helicopters are also confirmed to have taken off from and landed on the Liaoning in waters near there on Sunday. An Aegis ship of the Maritime Self-Defense Force was on alert, but no dangerous behavior was observed. This is the first time that the ministry has confirmed and announced the activity of a Chinese aircraft carrier to the east of the 'second island chain' connecting the Izu Islands with Guam, where there are U.S. military facilities. China is deepening its military confrontation with the United States. With a Taiwan contingency in mind, it is said to be formulating a strategy to block the movement of U.S. forces between the second island chain and the first island chain (from southern Kyushu to Taiwan), to prevent them from entering the area to the west of the first island chain, which is closer to China. This time, the carrier was deployed further east across the second island chain. 'China is believed to be planning to improve its aircraft carrier operational capabilities and its ability to conduct operations in the distant sea-air area,' an official of the Joint Staff of the Defense Ministry said. Regarding the Liaoning's movements, the ministry announced May 25 that it had sailed through the East China Sea, about 200 kilometers north of Kuba Island, part of the Senkaku Islands, in Okinawa Prefecture. Fighter jets and helicopters landed on and took off from it, the ministry said. That was the first case in which the ministry announced the landing and takeoff of a ship-borne fighter jet from a Chinese aircraft carrier in the East China Sea. The Liaoning then moved into the Pacific Ocean, passing between Okinawa Island and Miyako Island on May 27. It repeatedly had its ship-borne aircraft land and take off in the waters south of Miyako Island and east of the Philippines. The Liaoning is also accompanied by missile destroyers and a fast combat support ship.

India's Schloss, Aegis Vopak IPOs fully sold on final day, retail demand subdued

By Hritam Mukherjee (Reuters) -Indian initial public offerings of Leela hotels-owner Schloss Bangalore [ and Aegis Vopak Terminals [ were oversubscribed on Wednesday, hauled across the line by institutional buyers as retail demand floundered. India's IPO market is still finding its legs after a slow start to the year, following blockbuster listings from companies such as Swiggy and NTPC Green in 2024. India's blue-chip Nifty 50 index is up nearly 5% this year but is still more than 5% below record-high levels logged in September 2024, amid uncertainties around global tariffs and worries about their impact to trade. Proceeds from IPOs are down 29% on-year so far this year, while number of issues have dropped 38%, data from LSEG showed. IPO hopefuls, such as LG Electronics India, have either delayed plans or downsized their issue sizes. Schloss issued fresh shares and existing investor Brookfield sold some of its stake in the $409 million IPO. Aegis, a JV of Dutch tank storage group Vopak, only issued new shares in its $328 million offering. Retail investors, who typically look to pocket listing gains, bid for just 83% of their reserved portion in Schloss' books, while Aegis drew just 77%. Institutional buyers, including foreign investors and banks, bid for over seven times the shares allotted for them in Schloss, and over three times their portion in Aegis. "Retail investors and high-net worth individuals recorded lacklustre enthusiasm as they found valuations to be too demanding, especially when markets have still not completely settled and global uncertainty fears loom," said Astha Jain, a research analyst with Hem Securities. Schloss is targeting a valuation of about $1.7 billion, while Aegis Vopak is aiming one at $3.05 billion. Both the firms are slated to start trading on Indian stock exchanges on June 2.

Making Our Navy Supreme Again

Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., one of the world's largest shipbuilders, is leading the global shipbuilding industry. (Photo by Chung Sung-Jun/Getty Images) It's a true emergency: Our Navy is falling dangerously behind China's. Beijing has been relentlessly building up its naval power. Its purpose is simple: to make global commerce dependent on its goodwill. Freedom of navigation for international seaways has been a U.S. policy fixture for more than two centuries. China firmly intends to end freedom of the seas. It has built numerous islands in and near the South China Sea which are ocean-based military bases. The U.S. just stood by and let this happen. China has been bullying Filipino fishing vessels in international waters that China claims as its own. The message to Indo-Pacific nations: Kowtow to us politically, or your economic well-being will be in serious jeopardy. China now has more naval vessels than the U.S. does. Sure, we have qualitative advantages, but these will be transitory if we don't act quickly—and creatively. Our military shipbuilding is a shadow of what it should be, and our commercial shipbuilding is a farce. China has 700 oceangoing vessels, the U.S. fewer than 300. Chinese shipyards are the largest in the world. In 2023 they had 1,700 ships on order. U.S. shipyards had all of five. The cost of building a commercial vessel in the U.S. is almost five times what it costs in South Korea and Japan. More ominously, American technology lags theirs, and we lack the necessary skilled workforce. South Korea's largest shipbuilder is Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI). The company is presently constructing a destroyer for Korea's navy that is much like our Aegis destroyers. However, HHI is doing so at less than half the cost and in far less time than the U.S. does. This destroyer is loaded with American parts and technology. As an HHI executive told the Wall Street Journal, 'This is basically a U.S. warship.' Hyundai shipyards are also building naval vessels for New Zealand, the Philippines and Peru. Clearly, the gap between the U.S. and China is too big to close. But there's a solution staring us in the face: Contract with the advanced shipyards in South Korea and Japan to build naval vessels. Of course, we must simultaneously move ahead to vastly improve U.S. shipbuilding. Recently, Huntington Ingalls Industries, America's largest military shipbuilder, and HHI signed a memorandum of understanding to examine opportunities for collaboration on accelerating ship production for defense and commercial projects. HHI and another major South Korean shipyard have received approval for repair and maintenance work on certain U.S. naval vessels. That's all well and good, but given the nature of our naval emergency, we must also start constructing vessels in South Korea and Japan. Under current law, foreign companies are banned from building U.S. naval and commercial ships. But President Trump could issue an exemption on national security grounds. To do its part, Congress should cement that ex- emption into law and should also repeal the Jones Act, a law that in the name of protecting American ship-building has ended up wrecking it.
