Lin proposed that Taiwan also consider deploying anti-ship missiles in the region.


That should be the land-based variant of the their indigenous Hsiung Feng-3 ASM with a claimed range of 600 kms.

Pag-asa Island is just 75 kms north of Taiping (Ligao Island to us) and Puerto Princesa is 480 kms east, easily within reach of the HF-3.

Well we should start fortifying our positions then, I know it would do us little but it seems to me that a war will break if this continuous.

Taiwan protests Philippines’ claims over Spratlys islands

Quote:
 
Taiwan yesterday protested the Philippines’ sovereign claims over the Spratlys islands, asserting that the archipelago belongs to the Republic of China.

Deputy Foreign Minister Shen Ssu-tsun summoned Philippine representative to Taiwan Antonio Basilio and Manila’s top official in charge of Taiwan affairs Amadeo R Perez to the Foreign Ministry to lodge the protest.

He gave the pair a copy of Taiwan’s statement stating ROC sovereignty over the Spratlys and surrounding waters. Taiwan cannot accept any claim to sovereignty over, or occupation of, these areas by other countries.

The statement urged the Philippines to refrain from adopting unilateral measures “that might upset the peace and stability in the South China Sea.”

Basilio and Perez said they would convey Taiwan’s stance to the Philippine government.

Taiwan to boost combat training in disputed waters

2011-04-19 16:00
TAIPEI, April 19, 2011 (AFP) - Taiwanese coast guards stationed in the South China Sea will undergo rigorous combat training, an official said Tuesday, in response to China's more assertive stance in disputed waters.

Coast guards posted in the area will receive training akin to that of members of Taiwan's elite Marine Corps, said Wang Chung-yi, deputy chief of the Coast Guard Administration.

"We need strength to defend our sovereignty," he told AFP.

He did not provide details about the training, but the Liberty Times newspaper said it would include skills in areas such as coastal defence against amphibious attack.

Taiwan's coast guard currently has a base on Taiping, the biggest island in the disputed Spratlys archipelago.

The island, which has a runway to smooth logistical support, is reported to have a garrison of about 130 coast guards.

The move comes as China becomes increasingly assertive in the potentially resource-rich South China Sea, following several years of relative quiet.

Taiwan on Monday reiterated its claims to the Spratlys, along with three other island groups in the South China Sea, amid a flare-up in tensions between the Philippines and China over rival claims.

"We urge the Philippines not to take any unilateral move that will spark controversy in the South China Sea," Taiwan's foreign ministry said in a statement.

China accuses Philippines of 'invasion'
19-Apr-11, 4:36 PM | Tessa Jamandre, VERA Files


China has accused the Philippines of “invading” the South China Sea which it claims as wholly its own, the first time it has ever done so.

PCG, not the PN to provide security in the Spratlys. An indication that the coming Hamilton will probably just patrol the Malampaya area:

Coast Guard to secure offshore drilling

Quote:
 
PRESIDENT Aquino on Tuesday instructed the Philippine Coast Guard to provide security to oil exploration activities in the disputed Kalayaan Island Groups at the formal installation of Vice Admiral Ramon Liwag as the new PCG commander vice Commander Wilfredo Tamayo.

Speaking in Filipino at the change-of-command ceremonies, Aquino said he trusts the PCG to secure offshore drilling and oil exploration activities in the western part of the country.

Liwag, in an interview in Malacañang, acknowledged the "sensitivity" of the Spratlys issue and the need to use the PCG "in order not to be provocative."
