“Even before the scuffling, India was feeling increasingly hemmed in by China’s expanding economic and geopolitical influence in South Asia.”

這篇報導提到五月份雙方首次摩擦的時間點是在本串首嘟05/11事件之前的05/05晚。雖說媒體的均提到雙方有針對邊界問題建立溝通機制,同一個月內發生三次以上衝突,即使在此時仍顯異常。

“The PLA and Indian Army soldiers clashed at the feature called Finger 5 in the northern flank of the Pangong lake on May 5 night.

A few days later, personnel from the two armies clashed again near Naku La in Sikkim.”

「影片中顯示一艘印度Tampa快艇(從美國進口)攔截懸掛中國國旗的模擬中國巡邏船的演習畫面,印度快艇使用了名為“漩渦戰術”,用高速快艇不斷繞代號LX系列的“中國巡邏船”轉圈航行,將目標船隻困在水流中,迫使其開始陷入渦流時返回。依目前情況來看,該湖西部45公里長的部份地區在印度的控制下,其餘部份則在中國控制之下。

該報道引據軍事評論員黃東分析,解放軍在班公錯湖出動928D巡邏艇,行內俗稱“西海艦隊”,已集結5,000多士兵,已是一個旅的兵力,印軍也不相伯仲,“雙方已經有1萬人,可以打一場不大不小嘅戰爭”。 」

The Diplomat對最近兩國緊張情勢的分析。

“It is true that China does not consider India to be its primary strategic competitor. However, some Chinese veterans are of the opinion that China has a history of adjusting its strategic direction and has more often than not benefitted from solving contradictions in a secondary direction first, rather than the contradictions in the primary direction.”

What Is China Saying About the China-India Border Stand-Off?

On the Chinese internet, the Nepal-India territorial dispute is seen as a direct contributing factor to the recent flare-up on the Sino-Indian border.

WAPO一篇報導對這段衝突期間作出淺白說明的分析:

“If Beijing fears other nations may view China as weak or distracted by the coronavirus and the economic aftershocks, the Chinese leadership may feel it has to take a hard line against any potential challenge to Chinese sovereignty. This is true not only regarding the border with India but also with regard to Taiwan, Hong Kong and the South China Sea.”

「”中国(中共)的宏伟战略‘中国梦’是要将国际体系转变为由中共领导的体系。” 报告建议至少从五个方面反击中国。第一,抵制中国的工业间谍活动、盗窃知识产权以及其他恶意的经济行为。第二,制止中国的恶性政治影响和虚假信息宣传运动。第三,抵制中国的侵犯人权行为。第四,应对中国的全球军事现代化。第五,加强在印度太平洋地区的联盟。」

美又抓到中國間諜!新加坡男「坦承為中蒐集情報」 - 國際 - 自由時報電子報

美國司法部24日宣布,有一名新加坡公民承認為中國情報部門蒐集情報,美國司法部助理部長德默斯(John C. Demers)譴責中國,利用美國社會開放性獲取敏感訊息。《美國之音》報導,該名新加坡人名為楊俊偉(譯音,Jun Wei Yeo,英文名Dickson Yeo),他坦承自己在新加坡國立大學擔任學者時,被中國情報部門招募,指示他設立一個政治諮詢公司,招募了擁有安全許可的美國軍方或政府人員,其中包括空軍F-35B隱形戰鬥轟炸機項目的文職人員、有阿富汗經驗的五角大廈軍官、國務院官員,他們為該公司撰寫報告可以得到2000美元(約台幣58901元)的報酬。

華郵披露的細節:

[ Although Yeo refused to sign a contract with the People’s Liberation Army, he worked with operatives to pay American targets to write reports for “clients in Asia” without revealing their work was going to the Chinese government, he said in a sworn statement of offense. ]

Singaporean consultant pleads guilty to acting as agent for China, targeting Americans for intelligence recruitment

Dickson Jun Wei Yeo, 39, admitted to cultivating U.S. government and military officials with high-level security clearances.

[ Yeo met with his intelligence handlers dozens of times, and when he traveled to China for these meetings he was regularly taken out of the customs lines and brought into a separate office for admission into the country, which he told prosecutors was intended to "conceal his identity when he traveled into China." ]

“雖然說鈔票人人愛,但情報世界中絕大多數的案例,都不會那麼簡單。如果祇是單純的「拿錢收買」,多數人基於道德感仍會拒絕,因此除非訴諸威脅(例如掌握某些不能見人的隱私),多數的例子仍然是動之以情。
  大陸情報單位能在旅美僑界吸引到「下線」,關鍵因素絕對是近年中國的崛起,滿足了海外華人百餘年來,期盼見到強大祖國的願望(即使他們已經歸化美籍)。本書中介紹的幾位捲入中共間諜活動的華人,其實都不是來自中華人民共和國,而是一九四九年為了躲避赤禍,從大陸遷徙到臺灣、香港或美國的人(或其後裔),甚至包括與大陸關係並不密切的「本省臺灣人」移民。除了利誘的因素外,如果沒有近年的中國崛起,很難想見這些人會願意協助北京政權一臂之力。”
