Countering China's Maritime Grey Zone Activities

-by the Gateway House and KAS India

China today has the largest Navy and Coast Guard. There is a third layer to China’s maritime power projection: the People's Armed Forces Maritime Militia (PAFMM) with more than 700 vessels at its disposal. This unprecedented build-up of Chinese maritime capabilities is to largely support, extend and defend its excessive maritime claims on the basis of Nine Dash Line. The sinking of Vietnamese fishing vessel in April 2020 off Paracel islands, the swarming of more than 200 maritime militia and fishing vessels in the Philippine EEZ off the Julian Felipe Reef in Mar 2021, and the more recent use of PLA Navy ships to chase off media crew, are Chinese grey-zone strategies to overwhelm and exhaust law enforcement agencies of contesting nations, thus presenting a fait-accompli to incremental changes in status quo. China has armour-plated its maritime grey zone activities through national legislation. In April 2020, Beijing named 80 geographic features and announced two new administrative subdistricts covering disputed territory and maritime areas in the South China Sea. Another example is the new China Coast Guard Law (CCG) that came into effect in Feb 2021. The new CCG laws have left the term “jurisdiction” geographically undefined, creating ambiguity over its applicability in disputed maritime zones. This gives the CCG greater latitude for grey zone activities like attacking third-country fishing vessels, and creates uncertainty for smaller nations in the region. This GH-KAS webcast discussed the potential strategies that smaller nations in the region can adopt to overcome the challenges of Chinese maritime grey zone activities.

Tackling COVID-19: Public Health and Socio-Economic Strategies - Diginar 2

- ICRIER and KAS India

Despite the commonality of the Covid-19 pandemic, countries have adopted a wide range of public health and socioeconomic strategies to deal with the multidimensional challenges of the pandemic. Many adopted whole-of-government (WoG) and whole-of-society (WoS) approaches. According to the WHO, operationalizing a WoG approach is challenging and despite limited evidence on best practices, 3 factors seem to be critical for the success of a WoG approach – leadership, partnerships and use of evidence (https://bit.ly/3tXy0Pq).A WoS approach– with communities and subnational governments at the centre – also appears to be dependent on similar factors for its success. What are the noteworthy public health and socioeconomic strategies adopted by countries to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic? How have countries operationalized WoG and WoS approaches vis-à-vis the Covid-19 pandemic? How has evidence been leveraged, and how have responses to Covid-19 evolved with evolving evidence? What are the major public health and socioeconomic implications of such strategies and approaches? What are the lessons for / from developing countries like India? In order to find answers to these questions, the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER) together with India Office of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) organized a diginar titled, “Covid-19 Global Best Practices: Lessons for / from India” on 2nd July 2021.
