Pakistan can’t spare ships for Chinese navy’s birthday, India sends stealth destroyer
The withdrawal of the Pakistani ships hasn’t been announced officially but the reason behind it could be the current heavy deployment of the Indian navy in the Arabian Sea.

The Pakistani navy is unlikely to send warships to take part in China’s high-profile maritime parade to mark the 70th anniversary of the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) to be held off China’s east coast later this month.
At least two Pakistani ships were expected to attend the review to be inspected by President Xi Jinping in the coastal city of Qingdao on April 23.
The withdrawal of the Pakistani ships hasn’t been announced officially but the reason behind it could be the current heavy deployment of the Indian navy in the Arabian Sea.
Pakistani foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi was quoted on Sunday telling reporters in Multan that India was planning to attack Pakistan later this month.
In the aftermath of the deadly Pulwama terror attack, the Indian navy had said in a statement on March 18 that it was deploying an aircraft carrier, nuclear-powered attack submarines and several warships in the region.
It could be that Islamabad was unable to spare warships at this time as it would mean withdrawing them for weeks from patrolling Pakistan’s maritime border; the reason for not sending warships for “iron brother” China’s prestigious naval drill has to be serious.
Senior military officials from Pakistan are expected to attend events related to the anniversary in Qingdao.
The Pakistani embassy’s press office in Beijing didn’t respond to phone calls and messages on the topic.
India, meanwhile, has dispatched one of its frontline warships, INS Kolkata, an indigenously built stealth destroyer, to take part in the fleet review.

Accompanying INS Kolkata will be one of the Indian Navy’s largest ships, fleet tanker, INS Shakti.
Around 500 Indian navy personnel will be on the two ships.
“Up till now, over 60 countries have confirmed to send navy delegations to participate in the activities and multiple countries have confirmed to send naval vessels to the international fleet review,” defence ministry spokesperson, Colonel Wu Qian said last month.
For India, sending warships to PLAN’s prestige event is part of the post-Wuhan reset of Sino-India ties following the cold snap in the aftermath of the Doklam (Donglang) standoff.
Military engagement between the armed forces is expected to expand.
This will be the first time Indian warships are coming to China since April 2014 when the PLAN marked its 65thanniversary with events in Qingdao.
The deployment of INS Kolkata at the event is a message of both cooperation and competition, Ben Ho, a naval analyst with the Military Studies Programme at Singapore’s S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies told HT.
“The deployment of the INS Kolkata and INS Shakti to the PLAN’s 70th-anniversary celebration may seem like a case of cooperative naval diplomacy at first glance, but there is a competitive element to it as well. Fleet reviews like the one that will take place later this month are essential “bodybuilding” shows for navies. The force with the best “muscles” will garner the most attention,” Ho said.
He added that INS Kolkata is a stealth destroyer with state-of-the-art capabilities like the supersonic BrahMos surface-to-surface missile, and its deployment to the fleet review is arguably an exercise in strategic messaging.
Ho said though Shakti is not a warship but a tanker, and platforms like it are not as “glamorous as their heavily armed brethren”, they are a key force multiplier in naval operations given that they enable deployments that are longer in duration and/or distance.
“The Kolkata-Shakti combination is noteworthy. Through it, Delhi arguably wants Beijing to take note of its independent blue-water capabilities in far-flung regions, including perhaps the South China Sea. After all, Beijing has looked askance at previous Indian naval deployments to that contested body of water which it regards as its own “backyard”,” he added.
Last week, the Japan Times reported that the US will not send warships or senior military officers to attend the event.
The report added that Washington’s decision could be seen as a snub though its allies Japan and South Korea are expected to deploy ships.

美不派舰参加中国海军70周年阅舰式 消息人士:无妨

海军啥时换新轰?我海航轰6携挂鹰击12备战海军节阅兵1/10

近日有网友发现我海航有部分轰6轰炸机携挂鹰击12导弹,正在为海军节演练阅兵队形。有消息指出,参阅的其中一支部队一边在练编队,另一边还组织了一次穿越宫古海峡的行动。(来源:瘦驼)


[环球时报-环球网报道 记者 郭媛丹]针对美国媒体报道称,美国将不派舰艇参加中国海军举行的国际舰队检阅式。7日,《环球时报》记者了解到,来自五大洲的多国海军将参加此次国际舰队阅舰式。
中国国防部新闻发言人吴谦此前表示,中国人民解放军海军成立70周年多国海军活动将将于4月下旬在青岛举行。届时,将举行高层研讨会、国际舰队检阅、联合军乐展示、文体交流等多项活动。
4月3日,美国《华盛顿自由灯塔》网站引述美国政府官员的报道称,因为担心中国借助美国军舰的出席来强化中国的国际影响,美国国务院反对美军参加这一活动。美国将不会派出军舰或者军方官员,仅派美国驻华大使馆武官参加该仪式。对此,五角大楼发言人没有立即发表评论。
美国此次不派舰队参加中国海军活动并不意外,是其对近两年两军交往政策的一个延续。2018年5月23日, 美国国防部宣布,以所谓“南海军事化”的借口决定取消对中国参加 “环太—2018”联合军演的邀请。由美国主导的环太平洋联合军演邀请多国参与,每两年举行一次。2014年和2016年,中国两度获邀参加。2018年初,美方再次向中方发出邀请。当时,中国国防部新闻发言人任国强就此发表谈话对美国的理由进行批驳,并称“美方这一决定不具建设性。任何时候关上交流的大门都无助于促进中美两军的互信与合作。”
原美国海军太平洋舰队情报信息作战副主任詹姆斯·法内尔上校表示,美国取消参与解放军海军的纪念活动是一个积极迹象。 “不派遣任何海军战舰参加解放军海军在青岛的70周年国际舰队检阅式,可以看出美国政府维持其先前立场。”法内尔说。“美国海军战舰的参与不仅会使解放军海军在海上的不良行为合法化,而且会削弱2018年美国取消中国参加‘环太平洋演习’的影响。”
参议院军事委员会主席吉姆·因霍夫称赞这一决定。他告诉《华盛顿自由灯塔》,“印太地区需要美国军舰和舰员的存在,美国海军正忙于应对中国在南海海域的挑衅以及大国竞争中其他重要方面所带来的挑战,不能因为参加庆典活动而有所分散。”
报道还称,如果美国军舰缺席在青岛阅舰活动,很可能会呼吁其盟国取消派遣海军舰艇参加该活动。目前,日本、韩国、法国、俄罗斯等至少十多个国家计划派舰艇参加国际舰队检阅式。
截至目前,已有60余个国家表示将派海军代表团参加多国海军活动,多个国家将派舰艇参加国际舰队检阅。
除了以上公开消息,《环球时报》获得的进一步消息显示,美国军舰缺席青岛国际舰队阅舰式,丝毫不影响中国海军与世界同行多年来建立起来的友谊和信任。 一位消息人士7日告诉《环球时报》记者,中国海军举办的海军成立70周年多国海军活动,得到了国际社会的广泛响应和积极支持。截止目前,有数十个国家海军领导人率团参加多个活动,也有不少国家派军舰参加国际舰队阅舰式,涵盖了五大洲的多数海军国家。此次活动必将进一步加深中国海军与世界同行的互信和友谊。

一位匿名专家7日对《环球时报》记者表示,这本来就是多国海军活动,美国来不来,对中国海军70周年活动不造成任何影响。 就中美两军关系而言,任何交往都不是美国对中国的恩赐。“美国派舰出席会强化中国的国际影响,这一理由非常荒唐、站不住脚。中国的国际影响是靠中国人自己来树立,通过国际合作、加强交往等自然提高威望。 人民海军70周年庆典活动是世界通行的做法,符合国际惯例。”这位专家表示, “两军交往是双方的获益,有助于增进相互了解,防止发生误解、误判。美军减少和中国军方互动,同时也减少了解中国海军的机会。”
这位专家认为,如果美国国务院的确如报道所言做出反对决定,中国人也不惊讶。美国国务院最近一段时间一直有抹黑中国的举动,也发表了一些不负责任的错误言论。“这说明美国一些人充满了冷战思维,把中国作为假想敌,作为战略竞争对手。实际上,这种冷战思维不利于中美关系,也不利于世界的和平稳定。”

[Global Times - Global Network Reporter Guo Yuandan] According to US media reports, the United States will not send ships to participate in the international fleet review by the Chinese Navy. On the 7th, the "Global Times" reporter learned that the multinational navies from the five continents will participate in the international fleet read-and-go.

Wu Qian, spokesman of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense, said earlier that the multinational naval activities of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy will be held in Qingdao in late April. At that time, high-level seminars, international fleet review, joint military music exhibition, cultural and sports exchanges will be held.

On April 3, the US "Freedom Lighthouse in Washington" website quoted US government officials as saying that the US State Department opposed the US military's participation in the event because of fears that China would use the presence of US warships to strengthen China's international influence. The United States will not send warships or military officials, and only the military attaché of the US Embassy in China will participate in the ceremony. In response, the Pentagon spokesman did not immediately comment.

It is not surprising that the United States did not send a fleet to participate in the Chinese naval activities. It is a continuation of its policy of exchanges between the two armies in the past two years. On May 23, 2018, the US Department of Defense announced that it had cancelled the invitation to participate in the joint military exercise of "Tai Tai - 2018" with the excuse of the so-called "militaryization of the South China Sea." The United States-led Pacific Rim joint military exercise invites many countries to participate and is held every two years. In 2014 and 2016, China was invited twice. At the beginning of 2018, the US side once again sent an invitation to the Chinese side. At that time, Ren Guoqiang, a spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of National Defense, made a remark on the reasons for the United States and said that "the US decision is not constructive. The door to communication at any time will not help to promote mutual trust and cooperation between the Chinese and US militaries. ""

Colonel James Farnell, former deputy director of intelligence and information operations at the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, said that the commemoration of the United States' cancellation of participation in the PLA Navy is a positive sign. "Without sending any naval warships to participate in the International Fleet Review of the 70th anniversary of the PLA Navy in Qingdao, it can be seen that the US government maintains its previous position," Farnell said. "The participation of the US Navy warships will not only legalize the PLA Navy's bad behavior at sea, but will also weaken the influence of the 2018 US cancellation of China's participation in the 'Pacific Rim Exercise'."

Jim Inhoff, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, praised the decision. He told Washington Freedom Lighthouse that "the Indo-Pacific region needs the presence of US warships and crew. The US Navy is busy dealing with the challenges of China's provocation in the South China Sea and other important aspects of the competition among big powers. It cannot be because of the celebrations. And there is some dispersion."

The report also said that if US warships are absent from Qingdao's ship-seeking activities, they are likely to call on their allies to cancel the dispatch of naval vessels to participate in the event. At present, at least a dozen countries such as Japan, South Korea, France, and Russia plan to send ships to participate in the international fleet review.

Up to now, more than 60 countries have indicated that they will send naval delegations to participate in multinational naval activities. Many countries will send ships to participate in the international fleet review.

In addition to the above public news, the Global Times received further information indicating that the absence of US warships from the Qingdao International Fleet has no impact on the friendship and trust that the Chinese Navy and the world's counterparts have built over the years. A source told the Global Times reporter on the 7th that the multinational naval activities of the 70th anniversary of the Navy, organized by the Chinese Navy, received wide response and active support from the international community. Up to now, dozens of national naval leaders have led a delegation to participate in many activities, and many countries have sent warships to participate in the international fleet to read the ship, covering most naval countries on five continents. The event will further deepen the mutual trust and friendship between the Chinese Navy and its peers around the world.

An anonymous expert told the Global Times reporter on the 7th that this was originally a multinational naval activity. The United States could not come and did not have any impact on the 70th anniversary of the Chinese Navy. As far as the Sino-US military relations are concerned, any exchange is not a gift from the United States to China. "The reason why the United States sent a ship to attend the meeting will strengthen China's international influence is very ridiculous and untenable. China's international influence is based on the Chinese themselves, and international prestige is enhanced through international cooperation and exchanges. The 70th anniversary of the People's Navy The celebration is a universal practice and conforms to international practice.” The expert said, “The exchanges between the two militaries are the benefits of both sides, which will help enhance mutual understanding and prevent misunderstandings and misjudgments. The US military will reduce its interaction with the Chinese military. It also reduces opportunities to understand the Chinese navy."

The expert believes that if the US State Department does make an opposition decision as reported, the Chinese are not surprised. The US State Department has been smearing China for a while, and has also issued some irresponsible and erroneous remarks. "This shows that some people in the United States are full of Cold War mentality and regard China as an imaginary enemy as a strategic competitor. In fact, this kind of Cold War mentality is not conducive to Sino-US relations, and is not conducive to world peace and stability."
