As China attempts to assert herself on a global stage, Japan has been increasing her efforts to ‘stand up’ to her billion man strong neighbor, for as Business Insider reports, China sent an aircraft carrier between Japanese islands to which the Japanese responded by sending a destroyer to follower her.
<blockquote readability="53.87685290764">
China’s carrier group — including the aircraft carrier Liaoning, one Renhai class stealth guided missile destroyer, two Luyang III class guided missile destroyers, one Jiangkai II multi-role frigate and one Fuyu class fast combat support ship — were spotted passing the waterway between Okinawa and Miyako Island and heading toward the Pacific on Saturday morning.
Japan has sent destroyer JS Suzutsuki, a P-1 maritime patrol aircraft and a P-3C anti-submarine-warfare patrol aircraft to “gather information and monitor the movements of the Chinese vessels,” the joint staff said in a statement published on Sunday.
This is the first time the Liaoning is known to pass this waterway since April last year. It follows military exercises the US conducted with allies in the region, including a two-day joint drill with the Australian navy in the Eastern Pacific last week, and the US aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt CSG entering the South China Sea on Sunday morning after a joint-exercise with the Indian army.
The Liaoning crossed the same waterway in June 2019 and December 2016.
Tension between the People’s Liberation Army and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force in the East China Sea has escalated in recent months following Tokyo repeatedly voicing concerns over China’s new coastguard law.
The law came into effect in February and allows China’s quasi-military force to use weapons against foreign ships that Beijing sees as illegally entering its waters.
In early March, Japan’s coastguard said China’s coastguard had expanded its presence in the contested waters by entering twice a month and as frequently as twice a week near the Japanese-controlled Diaoyu Islands, known in Japan as the Senkaku Islands.
The joint staff office of the Japanese Defence Ministry published photos of the six Chinese vessels in the Liaoning carrier group on Sunday. The statement said they were heading toward the Pacific Ocean.
The new United States administration under President Joe Biden has reaffirmed a pledge to oppose any unilateral action that threatens to undermine Japan’s administration of the islands and that the US is obliged to defend Japan should its territories come under attack.
Last week, China’s Defence Ministry urged Japan to stop making provocative moves and refrain from attacking China over the disputed islands after the defence ministries of both countries held a virtual meeting last Monday. The meeting was for maritime and air liaison communication, a mechanism created in 2007 to improve trust and cut the chance of military miscalculation between the two countries.

</blockquote>
If Japan is stalking Chinese ships crossing into and near their waters, it is obviously and directly being done with American assistance.
Likewise, this is not new, for the US ha been provoking China for a long time in similar ways. It will be a common trend to watch for more and open examples of this kind of quiet provocation take place as relations deteriorate between China and the US and Japan.
While China may be large and a threat though, she has a lot more issues. China can stalk Japan more easily because of her regional status, but is not and currently cannot doing such say off the coast of Hawaii, Alaska, or in the Caribbean. Even if she was to do this, it could be disastrous for China’s attempts at a military rise, for she has to face off against not just the US and Japan, but will be facing significant internal rebellion and also have a major fight against the Indians in the Himalayas.
China may be powerful, but she is a lot weaker than what she presents herself as, she knows it, and while she wants to assert herself, she will try to be careful, lest as history in China repeatedly shows, she dies by her own hand again and falls to the cycle of revolution that has defined Chinese history for so long.

UK Government Has Planned For Vaccine Passports All Along

<div><img class="ff-og-image-inserted" src="https://api-assets.infowars.com/2021/04/GettyImages-1309858726.jpg" /></div>
Despite consistently denying plans to do so, the UK government has planned for the rollout of vaccine passports all along, prompting charges that the “Covid passes are shrouded in government cover ups, lies and shady contracts.”
Privacy Watchdog Big Brother Watch points to an article in the London Guardian today that details how the vaccine passport system was in advanced stages back in December at the <a href="https://summit.news/2020/12/15/uk-vaccine-minister-u-turn-absolutely-no-plans-for-covid-passports/">same time</a> as ministers <a href="https://summit.news/2020/12/01/gove-claims-government-not-considering-vaccine-passports-to-enter-venues/">were telling the public there were no plans for them.</a>
<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"></figure>
The article cites a government report dated 17 December, originating from Swiss-based consultancy firm Zühlke Engineering, the same company involved with the UK NHS track and tracing app.
The Guardian notes that the document “details research into possible public attitudes to a Covid certificate, sometimes called a domestic Covid passport. This would use vaccination status, a recent negative Covid test or proof of coronavirus antibodies to allow people into potentially packed places when the country opens up.”

Covid passes would be the first attempt at a segregation policy in Britain for decades. They would disadvantage the most marginalised people in our country, dividing communities without reducing risks.
We cannot allow this government to create a two-tier discriminatory dystopia.

The report also included diagrams of an app-based Covid certificate with scannable QR codes, all connected to the NHS app.
It almost exactly mirrors how the now official COVID pass looks:
<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"></figure>
As Summit News also reported in December last year, the British government <a href="https://summit.news/2020/12/22/british-government-contracts-firms-to-make-covid-freedom-passports/">contracted multiple firms</a> to develop COIVD ‘freedom passports’, that would be used to segregate society between those who have been tested or vaccinated against COVID and those who have not.
Simultaneously, a Deprtment of Health source claimed “It is looking at whether it would be possible,” but urged “There are no plans to introduce immunity passports,”
The plan was always to develop an app based system to integrate a QR code linking to a digital passport, which will be used to gain entry into clubs, venues, cinemas, <a href="https://summit.news/2021/02/15/government-is-considering-vaccine-passports-to-enter-pubs-shops-events/">basically anywhere in public</a>.
<a href="https://summit.news/2020/11/18/uk-developing-qr-code-system-to-only-allow-vaccinated-people-into-events/">As far back as November, we reported on these plans</a>, then in January it became clear that <a href="https://summit.news/2021/01/12/confirmed-britain-will-issue-vaccine-passports/">vaccine passports were being rolled out</a>.
Throughout this sorry saga, government ministers have <a href="https://summit.news/2021/03/19/video-uk-announces-vaccine-certificates-says-they-are-not-vaccine-passports/">engaged in cognitive dissonance</a>, at once admitting that vaccine passports are being introduced, but then suggesting that they are not actually vaccine passports.
<a href="https://summit.news/2021/02/22/vaccine-passports-to-enter-pubs-venues-being-considered-by-british-government/">Just over a month ago</a>, it became apparent that the system would apply even to pubs and restaurants.
Then a fortnight ago, Prime Minister <a href="https://summit.news/2021/03/24/boris-johnson-green-lights-pubs-to-mandate-vaccine-passports/">Boris Johnson suggested</a> that pubs would be able to use the vaccine passes at their discretion, promoting a huge backlash among landlords and punters.
Johnson then walked back that suggestion last week, announcing that pubs and restaurants would be exempt. The strategy is clear, threaten the worst, then when a bone is offered it appears like a concession has been made, so the <a href="https://summit.news/2021/03/31/poll-clear-majority-of-brits-support-vaccine-passports-to-go-to-the-pub/">people will accept the overall system</a>.

Jordan Says King's Sibling Part Of Plot That Extends Beyond Borders

<div class="ins_instory_dv">
<div class="ins_instory_dv_cont"><img alt="Jordan Says King's Sibling Part Of Plot That Extends Beyond Borders" src="https://c.ndtvimg.com/2021-04/icg17c34_prince-hamzah-afp-650_625x300_04_April_21.jpg" title="Jordan Says King's Sibling Part Of Plot That Extends Beyond Borders" /></div>
Price Hamza was the crown prince for four years before the title was transferred in 2004.
</div>
Jordan said it uncovered a plot to destabilize the kingdom that involved King Abdullah II's half-brother and extended beyond the country's borders.
The sibling, former Crown Prince Hamza Bin Hussein, worked in concert with foreign entities, Deputy Prime Minister Ayman Safadi said on Sunday, in a first official explanation of a string of arrests a day earlier. More than 16 people, including at least one other royal, were taken into custody, he said at a news conference in the capital, Amman.
"There was an effort to target Jordan's security and stability, this effort was foiled," he said, giving no evidence to back up his claims. He declined to say whether the unidentified foreign entities were people or governments, and if any money was paid to those involved in the alleged plot.
The crackdown comes as Jordan struggles with a worsening squeeze on its finances and a resurgence of Covid-19 cases that has prompted the government to renew restrictions on movement. The U.S. most recently provided the Middle East kingdom with $700 million in August.
"We are closely following the reports and in touch with Jordanian officials," State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement late Saturday. "King Abdullah is a key partner of the United States, and he has our full support."
Jordan's stability is crucial to the region as it sits at the crossroads of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It's home to as many as 2 million Palestinian refugees and their descendants, and chaos there could endanger the security of Israel, with which it shares a frontier and made peace in 1994. Bordering both Syria and Iraq, the kingdom has also fashioned itself as a force for moderation in a turbulent neighborhood.
Security personnel and armored vehicles were seen parked outside royal palaces and patrolling the Dabouq neighborhood of the capital, Amman, on Saturday. The Washington Post said earlier that Hamza, the eldest son of the late King Hussein and his fourth wife Queen Noor, was under house arrest at his palace in Amman. It cited a senior Middle East intelligence official briefed on the events as saying there was an ongoing investigation into an alleged plot to unseat King Abdullah, Hamza's older half-brother.
Hamza was the crown prince for four years before the title was transferred in 2004 to the current king's eldest son, Hussein. He has occupied various roles, including brigadier in the Jordanian army. In a six-minute video provided to the BBC by his lawyer, he said he was "not part of any conspiracy."
Support From Allies
"I had a visit from chief of general staff of the Jordanian armed forces this morning in which he informed me that I was not allowed to go out, to communicate with people or to meet with them because in the meetings that I had been present in -- or on social media relating to visits that I had made -- there had been criticism of the government or the king," Hamza said in the video. He added that his Internet and phone lines had been cut.
On Twitter, Hamza's mother, Queen Noor called the incidents a "wicked slander".
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Major General Yousef Huneiti on Saturday denied claims about the arrest of Hamza and said the prince was merely asked to stop "movements and activities that are used to target" the security and stability of Jordan. He added that the move was part of joint investigations undertaken by security agencies, as a result of which Hasan Bin Zeid, a member of the royal family, along with several others, including Bassem Awadallah, a former cabinet minister, were arrested.
The army chief indicated that the investigations were ongoing and their results will be announced "with full transparency and clarity."
Awadallah, who holds a doctorate from the London School of Economics and Political Science, has served in various positions in Jordan, including economic secretary to the prime minister, minister of finance and head of the royal court. Until 2018, he was King Abdullah's personal envoy to Saudi Arabia, where he was close to Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt and other Arab states joined the U.S. in expressing support for King Abdullah.
Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz called Jordan's King Abdullah II, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke with both the king and with Jordan's Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah, according to the SPA news agency.
"The Kingdom stands and its full solidarity with the sisterly Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Kingdom's support for all the measures that His Majesty takes to preserve the security of Jordan and maintain its stability," King Salman was quoted as saying.
"The Biden administration would view the potential of a failed state as detrimental to regional stability," said Ayham Kamel, the New York-based head of Eurasia Group's Middle East and Africa research team. "The Israeli security establishment would not look favorably toward any real instability in Jordan that triggers a Palestinian crisis."

More Than 75 Dead In Indonesia, East Timor Floods; Dozens Missing

At least 21 people had also died in East Timor.
</div>
Jakarta, Indonesia:
More than 75 people have died and dozens are still missing after flash floods and landslides hit Indonesia and neighbouring East Timor, officials said Monday.
Floods sparked by torrential rain have wreaked havoc and destruction on islands stretching from Flores in Indonesia to East Timor, sending thousands fleeing into shelters.
The deluge and subsequent landslides caused dams to overflow, submerging thousands of houses and leaving rescue workers struggling to reach trapped survivors.
"There are 55 dead, but this number is very dynamic and will definitely change, while some 42 people are still missing," Indonesia disaster management agency spokesman Raditya Jati told broadcaster MetroTV.
At least 21 people had also died in East Timor, said an official in the tiny half-island nation that lies between Indonesia and Australia. 
Many of the deaths were in Timor's inundated capital Dili.
Mud covered homes, bridges and roads in Indonesia's East Flores municipality, where rescuers struggled to reach a remote and badly-hit area because of rains and strong waves.  
"The mud and the extreme weather have become a serious challenge and the debris piling up has hampered the search and rescue team," Jati said. 
'Medicine, food, blankets'
Scared residents flocked to temporary shelters across the remote region or took refuge in what was left of their homes.
"The evacuees are spread out. There are hundreds in each sub district but many others are staying at home," said Alfons Hada Bethan, head of the East Flores disaster agency.
"They need medicine, food, blankets."
Pounding rains challenged efforts to find any survivors.
"We suspect many people are buried but it's not clear how many are missing," Bethan said.
In Lembata, an island halfway between Flores and Timor, parts of some villages were swept down a mountainside by torrents of mud, ending up down on the shore of the ocean. 
Earlier, road access had been cut off and local officials were forced to deploy heavy equipment to reopen the roads.  
Images from Lembata showed barefoot locals wading through mud and past collapsed houses to evacuate victims on makeshift stretchers.
Fatal landslides and flash floods are common across the Southeast Asian archipelago during the rainy season. 
January saw flash floods hit the Indonesian town of Sumedang in West Java, killing 40 people.  
And last September, at least 11 people were killed in landslides on Borneo. 
The country's disaster agency has estimated that 125 million Indonesians -- nearly half of the country's population -- live in areas at risk of landslides.
The disasters are often caused by deforestation, according to environmentalists.

China's "Wolf Warrior" Diplomats Howl At Uighur Abuse Critics

Experts say the switch into attack mode partly reflects the new assertive China of Xi. (Representational)
</div>
Beijing, China:
China's "wolf warrior" diplomats are back after a brief lull, firing insults over Twitter, smearing critics and suggesting conspiracies.
The hyperactivity of the envoys follows renewed global pressure over Beijing's treatment of the Muslim Uyghur minority in China's Xinjiang region.
Here are five things to know as the wolf warriors once more bare their teeth:
When did it start?
The term "wolf warrior diplomacy" became common parlance in 2019, when Chinese envoys -- most prominently spokesman Zhao Lijian -- adopted a vociferous defence of the Communist-led country on social media platforms such as Twitter, which is blocked in China.
The nickname derives from a film about a Rambo-like Chinese special forces soldier.
China insists it was forced into the change of tone, which came amid the fulminations of Donald Trump's White House.
But officials like Zhao, who made headlines in 2019 over controversial tweets as an envoy to Pakistan, took to his fresh combat role as foreign ministry spokesman with particular aplomb a year later.
He has promoted conspiracy theories including that the US military might have brought Covid-19 to China, and then railed against Canberra in tweets alleging "the murder of Afghan civilians & prisoners by Australian soldiers".
That post came with an illustration of a soldier holding a bloody knife to a child's throat. It was denounced by Australia's prime minister, but set the tone for feuds that still dominate relations.
Trump's rhetoric over the "China virus" saw Beijing's envoys up the ante as the pandemic roiled the world.
Experts say the switch into attack mode partly reflects the new assertive China of President Xi Jinping.
Why did the wolves return?
As Joe Biden settled into the US presidency in January, China's diplomats floated hopes of a reset in relations. 
But the ceasefire collapsed at a US-China meeting in Alaska in mid-March, where the Chinese Communist Party's top diplomat Yang Jiechi threatened action over "US interference".
"Yang's tough talk in Anchorage seems to have encouraged senior Chinese diplomats to indulge in inflammatory remarks," said Mathieu Duchatel, director of the Asia Programme at Paris-based think-tank Institut Montaigne.
China's consul-general in Rio de Janeiro Li Yang has since referred to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as "boy" while calling Canada a "running dog of the US".
And in late March as the European Union, Britain, Canada and the United States imposed sanctions over Xinjiang, foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying went as far as to suggest the CIA helped cook up rhetoric on the northwestern region to destabilise China.
In response to backlash against brands like H&M and Nike who raised concerns over the textile supply chain in Xinjiang, Hua showed a photo she said showed Black slaves in US cotton fields.
Referencing the transatlantic slave trade that same week, she argued others were in no position to criticise China.
Attack mode
China's envoys say Beijing has been forced to retaliate as rivals -- particularly in the West -- gang up to curtail its rise.
But officials' attitudes have markedly shifted under Xi from late leader Deng Xiaoping's philosophy to "hide your strength, bide your time".
When France recently summoned the Chinese ambassador over "unacceptable" behaviour, the embassy said he would not immediately comply and instead come to "make representations" over sanctions and Taiwan issues.
Observers suggest there are bigger geopolitical calculations at play with a benefit in slinging mud at the once untouchable bigwigs of the global political order.
"The uncertainty of the international environment also gives Beijing a particular strategic development space to challenge the existing international order," said Zhao Alexandre Huang, an academic at the Universite Gustave Eiffel in France.
What's next?
Signalling strength and threatening costs for non-compliance may lead to friction with some states but could cow others, said Chong Ja Ian of the National University of Singapore.
Nations dependent on Chinese trade "are more susceptible to submission", he said, adding that those with experience handling Chinese pressure may find it easier to ride out Beijing's ire.
But if it wants to signal costs in opposing China, Beijing may edge towards demonstrating "capacity and determination to escalate at each moment of confrontation", Duchatel said.
While the wolf warriors have overturned many diplomatic assumptions, the surge into social media has not all been to Beijing's benefit.
In September 2020, a Twitter account belonging to Liu Xiaoming, China's long-standing firebrand ambassador to Britain, "liked" a pornographic foot fetish video on Twitter. He played off the incident as a hack. 
Liu retired a few months later.
China's embassy in Ireland drew mirth last week when it cited a fable to push back against the wolf warrior label: "Aesop described how the Wolf accused the Lamb of committing offences...BTW, China is not a lamb."
The tweet appears to have since been deleted.
