And Control

Abstract In the South China Sea dispute, some Track-2 settings, along with Track-1 efforts by ASEAN and China, have facilitated some conflict “management.” But they have not brought about conflict “resolution” of the basic sovereignty and control issues. Conflict “irresolution” has ensued instead. Short-term balancing may perhaps generate long-term socialization convergence.

Baseline Information

Yongxing Island (about 1.85 km2) is the largest island of the Xisha Islands. It is located in the Western South China Sea and belongs to the tropical ocean monsoon climate zone. Yongxing Island is quite rich in biological resources, for example, plants and birds which have been well documented. However, there are limited reports on spider resources in Yongxing Island. A preliminary checklist of spiders of the Yongxing Island is provided, based on a short-term study undertaken in January 2008. A total of 23 species, belonging to 21 genera and 11 families, were recorded from the area, which forms baseline information of spiders of the Yongxing Island. Amongst these, Oonopidae, Pholcidae, Araneidae and Salticidae were found to have more species in the area. Brignolia parumpunctata (Simon, 1893), Opopaea apicalis (Simon, 1893), Opopaea deserticola Simon, 1891 and Xyphinus baehrae Kranz-Baltensperger, 2014 were firstly reported from China, for which we provide taxonomic description in this paper.

T-shaped launching barge HYSY229 is applied to transport the LW3-1 jacket from Qingdao to South China Sea, which is the largest one in Asia up to now. Two tugs are used for the dry-towing. Because the shape of this barge hull is a little special, it is interesting to investigate the motion responses during the transportation. Meanwhile, real-time motion monitoring is very necessary and important for the owner from the view point of the safety of the dry-towing process. Signals of pitch, roll and accelerations of six degree motions of the barge are monitored during the transportation. The measurements lasted 29 days starting from 27th July to 25th August in 2012. The maximum peak-peak value recorded for roll and pitch motions is 1.64 and 2.38 degrees respectively, which is smaller than the threshold of design value. Moses code is adopted to predict the 1/3 roll and pitch motions of the barge. Results of numerical simulation and motion monitoring are compared in short term sea state using the environmental parameters observed. Fair well agreements are achieved.

Level Change

The South China Sea is China’s largest marginal sea area, and it is rich in oil and gas mineral resources; thus, estimating its sea level changes is of practical significance. Based on linear and nonlinear sea level change characteristics, this paper decomposes 1992–2019 monthly mean sea level anomaly time series in the South China Sea into trend, seasonal, and random terms. This paper compares the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) and Prophet models for estimating the trend and seasonal terms and the long short-term memory (LSTM) and radial basis function (RBF) models for estimating random terms, and the more suitable models were selected. A Prophet-LSTM combined model was developed based on the accuracy results. This paper uses the combined model to study the effect of known data length on the experimental results and determines the best prediction duration. The results show that the combined model is suitable for short-term and medium-term estimations of 12–36 months. The accuracy at 36 months is 0.962 cm, which proves that the combined model has high application value for estimating sea level changes in the South China Sea.

Hit And Run

Subject China-Philippines relations. Significance On June 9, a Chinese trawler collided with a small Philippine fishing vessel in disputed waters in the South China Sea in what Philippine officials described as a “hit and run” incident. Even if the collision was accidental, the behaviour of the Chinese boat in leaving the scene has caused an outcry in the Philippines. Impacts The incident is likely to work against Manila’s policy of seeking joint development of offshore energy resources with China. President Rodrigo Duterte’s China-friendly policy will remain unchanged in the short term. A joint Philippines-China investigation into the incident would find it to have been accidental (whatever the facts may be). China will attempt to tighten control over its South China Sea maritime militia, and fishing fleet more broadly.
