In a letter to the United Nations, Australia’s permanent mission rejected the Chinese Communist Party’s claim to disputed islands in the crucial trading waters, calling them “inconsistent” with international law.
“The Australian Government rejects any claims by China that are inconsistent with the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), in particular, maritime claims that do not adhere to its rules on baselines, maritime zones and classification of features,” the document states.
“There is no legal basis for China to draw straight baselines connecting the outermost points of maritime features or ‘island groups’ in the South China Sea, including around the ‘Four Sha’ or ‘continental’ or ‘outlying’ archipelagos.
https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/first-arab-country-acquires-new-chinese-missile-system/ BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:30 A.M.) – China has started exporting the third generation of their Red Arrow-12 anti-tank systems, also known as the HJ-12.
According to the China Defense website, Algeria has become the first Arab country to obtain the upgraded Chinese anti-tank system.
Not surprisingly, the Algerian military has long-standing relationships with the Chinese military-industrial complex. It has bought from China self-propelled howitzers, mortars, and multiple missile launch systems, as well as reconnaissance and attack drones and marine equipment.
“The Chinese threat is intensifying at an alarming rate through CCP’s malign activity in the trade, cybersecurity, immigration, and intellectual property domains,” said Acting Secretary Wolf. “Consistent with President Trump’s leadership and direction, DHS is at the forefront of combating these threats to the Homeland and our way of life. The Department’s role in curbing China’s malign activity has never been more important nor timely. DHS’s newly-established China Working Group will prioritize, coordinate, and articulate decisive near- and long-term actions commensurate with the threat we face.”

Syrah Resouces, an Australian resources company, commissioned its first graphite purification plant in Louisiana, US, in mid-July. The graphite mined in Mozambique will be purified in the United States to produce anode materials for lithium electronic vehicle batteries, and will be supplied to chemical companies in the United States and Europe, among others. In addition, Australia’s Eco-Graphite plans to start operations in 2022 at a graphite purification plant in western Australia to make lithium-ion battery materials from graphite mined in Tanzania and supply to manufacturers such as Germany’s ThyssenKrupp. The company claims that its graphite purification costs are lower than those of Chinese companies, which could promote the industry to “get rid of its over-dependence on China”. At present, Chinese companies control more than 60% of the world’s natural graphite mining, in the field of graphite purification of anode materials for automotive batteries almost formed a monopoly.
