Tấn công đẫm máu tại Trung Quốc, 130 người thương vong (TTXVN)

Previous: Kết nối Manilla-Malaysia và động thái các nước chung quanh đ/v TQ trên biển Đônghttp://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/350582/news/phl-malaysia-agree-to-use-rule-of-law-in-south-china-sea-dispute PHL, Malaysia agree to use rule of law in South China Sea dispute February 28, 2014 3:14pm The Philippines and Malaysia have agreed to use the rule of law in resolving the dispute over parts of the South China Sea, President Benigno Aquino III said Friday. "The Prime Minister and I agreed on the peaceful settlement of disputes in the West Philippine Sea and the South China Sea, in accordance with the rule of law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)," Aquino said during a joint press conference with Malaysian Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Haji Mohammad Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak in Kuala Lumpur. Aquino left for Kuala Lumpur on Thursday for his first state visit to Malaysia that aims to strengthen the defense cooperation between the two countries. On Friday, he said they have "reviewed" the many aspects of the two countries' defense relations. He specifically cited the education and training exchanges between armed forces and defense officials, as well as continued joint training activities and intelligence exchanges. But despite these strengthened defense ties, he said both Malaysia and the Philippines believe "the potential of our nations and of our community to prosper can only be fully realized in an international context where the rule of law is upheld.""We believe that adherence to the rule of law, positive engagement, and sincere dialogue are fundamental if we are to build a truly prosperous and peaceful South East Asia– a South East Asia where no one is left behind," Aquino said. Aquino issued the statement a day after United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon called on all nations anew to adhere to the rule of law to prevent armed conflict and resolve disputes. Manila filed a case against China last year before a UN-linked arbitral tribunal to try to declare as illegal China’s so-called nine-dash line claim, which marks a huge swath of the South China Sea in a tongue-shaped encirclement as Chinese territory. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan have been contesting China's massive claim as it overlaps with their territories. China, which claims indisputable and historical right over the waters, refused to take part in the proceedings, saying Manila’s case is groundless and lacks legal merit. — Kimberly Jane Tan/KBK, GMA News ================================================= http://manilastandardtoday.com/2014/03/02/all-up-to-claimants-ph/ All up to claimants — PH By Sara Susanne D. Fabunan | Mar. 02, 2014 at 12:01am The Philippines is leaving the decision to all claimant countries whether or not they would join Manila in the arbitration case it filed against China over the disputed territories in the South China Sea (West Philippine Sea). Foreign Affairs Department spokesman Raul Hernandez said that the Philippines based its filing of the case challenging China’s nine-dash claim on its assessment of the country’s national interest. “Other countries will also have to make a decision on this based on the assessment of their national interest and we will respect their decision on this,” he said. Hernandez made the statement after Solicitor General Francis Jardeleza said on Thursday that it would help if other countries with their own territorial issues with China would file their own cases or make a formal request to join Manila’s case. Aside from the Philippines and China, other claimant countries to the disputed territories are Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei Darrusalam. The Philippines was given a deadline of March 30, 2014 to submit its arguments or Memorial to the United Nations-backed International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea (Itlos) on its dispute with China. The memorial will contain the legal basis of its arbitration case against China to be reviewed by the five-member arbitral tribunal at The Hague. The Memorial is being prepared by the Philippines’ legal team headed by Jardeleza. After its submission in March, the DFA said it is “open to future instructions coming from the arbitral tribunal” with regards to its next move. The department expects the tribunal to decide on the jurisdiction and merits of the case, especially on why Manila wants the nine-dash line claim by Beijing invalidated and declared as cillegal as far as international law, particularly the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos), is concerned. The Philippines invited China to join the arbitral proceedings on January 22 last year, but Beijing rejected the invitation. Manila filed the arbitration case to ask the tribunal to clearly delineate the extent of China’s and the Philippines’ claims in the disputed region. The Philippine government wants the five-member tribunal to invalidate Beijing’s “encompassing” nine-dash line claim, which covers 90 percent of the entire region and extending as far as the coastal provinces of the other claimant-countries. Meanwhile, The Association of the Southeast Asian Nation (Asean) and China is set to meet on March 18 to hold the 10th Joint Working Group Meeting on the Implementation of the Declaration of the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea. The meeting will be held in Singapore is expected to be attended by a representative from China and Asean bloc member-states Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying had said that Beijing is open to the formulation of the COC and is in constant communication with ASEAN countries. “China is ready to work with ASEAN countries to maintain the hard-won momentum, carry on with the full and effective implementation of the DOC and actively press ahead with the consultation on the COC in a steady manner,” Hua said. The framework of the COC is the Asean’s non-binding Declaration on the Code of Conduct which was signed in 2002. Based on the Declaration Conduct, a non-binding document, all signatories are directed to “exercise self-restraint in the conduct of activities that would complicate or escalate disputes and affect peace and stability including, among others, refraining from action of inhabiting on the presently uninhabited islands, reefs, shoals, cays, and other features and to handle their differences in a constructive manner.” As this developed, United Kingdom Ambassador to the Philippines Asif Ahmad said that other countries are also waiting for the Itlos ruling on the case that Manila filed on South China Sea dispute. Ahmad said that although he does does not want to speak on behalf of other countries, he said that the UK and other members of the international communities adopt the same stance over the dispute. ============================================== http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2014/03/02/1296117/us-not-party-sea-code-envoy US not a party to sea code – envoy By Pia Lee-Brago (The Philippine Star) | Updated March 2, 2014 - 12:00am MANILA, Philippines - The United States is not a party to the Code of Conduct (COC) in the South China Sea that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and China will adopt, US Ambassador Philip Goldberg said yesterday. But he said the US can be considered an interested party to the COC because of Washington’s interest in freedom of navigation in the region’s air and sea lanes. “We are not a party to the COC and so it is up to the ASEAN countries along with China to resolve the issues involved. We are not a party to that particular process but we are an interested party because our interests are in freedom of navigation in the air and in the sea,” Goldberg told reporters after leading the opening of “America in 3D” roadshow presentation at the SM Mall of Asia. Goldberg said the US is interested in the COC with China under a “rules-based solution,” without resorting to use of force. “And so we very much hope that those kinds of rules-based solutions will be the ones that come to the fore so that we are able to see again those kinds of legal solutions, rules-based solutions,” he said. Goldberg said the US wants to see legal and peaceful diplomatic solution to any issue related to the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea). “So what we have been urging and the reason that we support the Philippines in its effort to bring certain matters before an international tribunal under international law is because we believe very much, very strongly, in a legal process to help determine and resolve dispute,” Goldberg said. “So we are concerned naturally by anything that is not in that arena,” he said. COC long overdue The US has spoken out strongly on China’s unilateral measures. Washington does not recognize the actions undertaken by China such as the establishment of an Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) and the fishing law that it tried to put into effect. “There are things not done in coordination with other countries of the region and that is why we believe that a Code of Conduct is an important part of way forward so the countries can discuss and resolve disputes,” Goldberg said. Washington called for an “accelerated” negotiation process for a COC, saying the agreement is long overdue. The US supports efforts, including those of the Philippines, to resolve disputes and overlapping claims through diplomacy and recognize international legal processes. Malaysia also supported the Philippines on the peaceful settlement of the dispute through ASEAN solidarity. Manila is pushing for the COC in the South China Sea to be approved and pushed by ASEAN as a group – meaning to include even non-claimants – for the sake of freedom of navigation, regional peace and stability. Solicitor General Francis Jardeleza said the Philippines’ case would be stronger if neighboring countries like Malaysia and Vietnam would join Manila in disputing China’s nine-dash line claiming the whole of the West Philippine Sea and South China Sea. Firmly opposed The Philippines protested on Tuesday the firing of water cannons at Filipino fishermen at the Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal, also called Bajo de Masinloc, last week and nine harassment incidents committed by Chinese authorities. China rejected the Philippine protest, saying it has indisputable sovereignty over South China Sea islands and their adjacent waters. The Philippines formally invited China in April 2012 to bring their claim to the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) for a legal and lasting solution to the territorial dispute. Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert Del Rosario said the Philippines is working with full resolve to submit the memorial for the arbitration case on March 30. China, however, declared its position against resolving the issues before an international tribunal. “With reference to the Philippines’ attempt of initiating arbitration proceeding against China regarding South China Sea dispute, China is firmly opposed to and will by no means accept that. This clear-cut position will not change,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Qin Gang said on Friday. – With Aurea Calica ======================================================== http://globalnation.inquirer.net/99779/us-ambassador-goldberg-pushes-code-of-conduct-between-asean-china US ambassador Goldberg pushes code of conduct between Asean, China By Jerome Aning Philippine Daily Inquirer MANILA, Philippines—The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) and China should come up with a code of conduct that would provide a peaceful, rules-based resolution to the conflicting claims over the South China Sea, US Ambassador Philip Goldberg said Saturday. Goldberg, who opened the US Embassy’s “America in 3D Road Show on Diplomacy, Development and Defense” in a Pasay City mall, was asked by reporters about an incident in January where Filipino fishermen approaching the Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal were doused with water by Chinese coast guard ships. “We made it clear that we want to see legal, peaceful [and] diplomatic solutions to any issues relating to the South China Sea, [or] the West Philippine Sea, as it’s known here. And that coercion and the use of force is not at all the permissible route,” Goldberg said. Last year, the dispute with China over Panatag, which the Chinese occupied in April 2012, as well as over islands in the Spratlys, was elevated by the Philippines to the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea in Hamburg, Germany, via an arbitration case. Goldberg said the United States government supported the Philippines’ move for a peaceful resolution of the dispute. “[T]he reason we support the Philippines in its effort to bring certain of these matters before an international tribunal under international law is that we believe very much, very strongly in the legal process to help determine and resolve disputes. So we are concerned naturally by anything that isn’t in that arena,” he said. The ambassador recalled that Washington had also spoken out strongly against China’s imposition of an air identification defense zone over the East China Sea, as well as fishing laws in the South China Sea. “[T]hose things are unilateral, they’re things not done in coordination with other countries in the region,” he said. Goldberg reiterated that although the US was not a party to the discussions on the code of conduct, his country was an “interested party” because it wanted to keep intact the freedom of navigation in the air and in the sea lanes surrounding the disputed islands. “[W]e very much hope that those kinds of rules-based solutions will be the ones that will come to the fore,” he said. ============================================= http://globalnation.inquirer.net/99775/vietnamese-boat-people-back-to-help-tacloban-folk Vietnamese ‘boat people’ back to help Tacloban folk By Danny Petilla Philippine Daily Inquirer 4:13 am | Sunday, March 2nd, 2014 TACLOBAN CITY, Philippines—The first time Thuy Do was on Philippine soil, she was a 9-year-old Vietnamese refugee, fleeing a war she did not want. This week, she returned as a 31-year-old American doctor treating typhoon victims, and waging a war she wants to win. That war is her generation’s fight against global warming, which, she believes—and shared by a global consensus of scientists—is responsible for the increasing ferocity of storms and typhoons like Supertyphoon “Yolanda” (international name: Haiyan) in the Pacific and elsewhere. “It’s a scientific fact that global warming is happening and making typhoons like Yolanda more potent,” Do said. “Our challenge as a generation is that we can and should do more to raise awareness about it.” Do’s environmental activism is rooted in part by her personal experience where, in the late 1980s, as a young girl from the rice farming community of Kien Giang, close to the Mekong River delta, she learned about thousands of her former compatriots drowning in typhoon-buffeted rickety boats as they tried to escape war in their homeland under appalling conditions. But this week, Do is with a 22-member medical mission composed of Vietnamese-American doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, other medical personnel and journalists from Houston, Texas, who responded to the medical needs of Yolanda’s victims and survivors. The mission was organized by Dr. Tam Huu Pham, a 47-year-old medical doctor who is also a Catholic priest. It was coordinated locally by Dr. Robert Salazar, 50, a Tacloban native with a successful private practice as a pulmonologist in Katy, Texas. ‘Payback time’ “It’s payback time. We owe a lot to the Filipinos. This is our way of saying thank you,” said Duong Phuc, who at 68 is the oldest member of the contingent and one of the “boat people,” the derisive word used by the West to describe the endless exodus of more than a million Vietnamese who fled the civil war in their country in rickety boats. “We went through a lot, I mean a lot,” Phuc said, tears welling in his eyes. Going through a lot is also the life story of Do, who arrived in the Bataan Refugee Processing Zone in early 1991 as a 9-year-old asylum seeker. She would be admitted as a refugee together with her father, mother and four siblings, including an Amerasian relative who would be their eventual ticket to America. Before that, her father, mother and brother were thrown in prison on suspicion by their own government of betrayal for attempting to leave their country. When they were released from prison, there would be four more unsuccessful attempts to leave until they finally reached Bataan shortly after the Mt. Pinatubo eruption in June of 1991. Although they stayed only six months at the refugee camp, the sojourn would prove beneficial to Do and her siblings, as they would learn their first English words from a Filipino English teacher there. “It was our window to the American way of life,” Do said. When Do and her family arrived in Houston in 1992, they would learn that starting a new life in America was not easy at all. “There were no bilingual programs, they just threw me in a classroom with regular American kids,” Do said. Her parents could not find work in Texas so they decided to relocate to Seattle, Washington, where there would be better economic opportunities for Vietnamese immigrants like them. Becoming American With hard work and persistence, Do would get American citizenship with the rest of her family and she would get admission to the prestigious family medicine program at University of Washington in Seattle where she completed the program in 2010. Asked why she chose family medicine, Do said, “I feel at home and I am most comfortable treating young people and the elderly.” Do’s rise to attain her American Dream and acquire a certain degree of status and affluence in the United States has become the norm for most Vietnamese immigrants. For the elderly Phuc, who now owns a radio and TV station as well as a newspaper in the Houston area, it is an affirmation of his belief that if you do good to others, the act will ultimately go back to benefit the giver. “We are thankful to America, but we are also thankful to the Filipinos, because without those refugee camps in Bataan and Palawan, where will we be?” Phuc said. Philippine-born husband Do’s affinity for anything Filipino would end up with her marrying Jesse Robbins, a 32-year-old IT student whom she met at University of Washington. His mom is a Filipino from Quezon City. Robbins and Do are devout Catholics. “As you can see, the Philippines is very close to my heart, not only because of what happened in Bataan when I was 9 years old,” Do said. This Sunday, Do, who is eager to have a family soon, will meet for the first time her extended Filipino family in Quezon City. “Looking forward to it,” Do said, smiling with her husband close by nodding with approval. ============================================== http://gulftoday.ae/portal/4f0512db-a767-4140-aa30-f96ffb7114fa.aspx US flays Chinese ‘coercion’ of Filipino fishermen By Manolo B. Jara March 02, 2014 MANILA: The US ambassador to the Philippines on Saturday assailed the “coercion” by a Chinese coast guard vessel that fired water cannons to drive away Filipino fishermen from the disputed Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea in late January. “That coercion and use of force is not at all a permissible route,” GMA News quoted Ambassador Philip Goldberg as saying when asked to comment by media men on the Chinese “water treatment” on Jan.27 which was strongly protested by the Philippine government. Goldberg also reiterated Washington’s support for the Philippine move for a peaceful resolution of the dispute by bringing the issue to a UN commission for arbitration. “We believe strongly,” Goldberg stressed, “in the legal process to help determine and resolve disputes.” At the same time, he pointed out that while the US was not directly involved in the dispute, it was “an interested party because our interest is freedom of navigation in the air and sea.” On Feb.25, the Philippines lodged a strong protest with the Chinese embassy in Manila against China’s harassment of the Filipino fishermen in the Scarborough Shoal, the object of a territorial dispute between the two countries in the South China Sea. Beijing, however, rejected the protest as it insisted that it owned the shoal despite the Philippine claim that it is part of its 200-mile exclusive economic zone as contained in the UN Conference on the Law of the Sea. Aside from Scarborough, the Philippines and three of its partners in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) — Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei — are embroiled in a dispute with China in whole or in part of the Spratly island group in the South China Sea. Experts have confirmed the Spratlys to be rich not only in fisheries but also in mineral resources especially petroleum and natural gas. The Philippines has asked its three Asean partners to join it in seeking a peaceful resolution of the dispute and help reduce regional tension by bringing the issue to the UN commission for arbitration. The first to respond was Malaysia, which announced its support for the Philippine stand during the two-day state visit of President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino to Kuala Lumpur, which ended on Friday. ============================================================ http://news.pia.gov.ph/index.php?article=1781393583349 PNoy, Najib agree on peaceful resolution of South China Sea dispute Saturday 1st of March 2014 KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, March 1 -- Leaders of the Philippines and Malaysia have agreed to pursue peaceful settlement of the territorial dispute in the South China Sea. “As brothers in Asean, our two nations believe that the potential of our nations, and of our community, to prosper can only be fully realized in an international context where rule of law is upheld,” President Benigno S. Aquino III said in a statement after meeting with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak at the Prime Minister’s office here in Kuala Lumpur. “The Prime Minister and I agreed on the peaceful settlement of disputes in the West Philippine Sea and the South China Sea, in accordance with the rule of law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS),” he said. The two countries believe that adherence to the rule of law, positive engagement and sincere dialogue are fundamental in building a prosperous and peaceful Southeast Asia, President Aquino said. Both the Philippines and Malaysia are claimants to the contested territories. Other countries from the Asean seeking ownership include Vietnam and Brunei. Non-Asean claimants are China and Taiwan. The Philippines has elevated its territorial dispute with China for international arbitration saying it has exhausted all diplomatic means to resolve the issue through diplomatic and bilateral talks. The move encountered strong objection from China. Official statement from United States said freedom of navigation in the area should prevail, even as it was not taking sides in the dispute. The US urged all parties to agree on a binding Code of Conduct in the South China Sea to avoid miscalculations and lessen tensions. (www.pcoo.gov.ph/PND)

Hiện trường vụ tấn công (Nguồn: Reuters)

Vào khoảng 21 giờ ngày 1/3 (giờ địa phương), tại nhà ga Côn Minh, thuộc tỉnh Vân Nam, Tây Nam Trung Quốc đã xảy ra vụ tấn công bằng dao do một nhóm thủ phạm là đàn ông tiến hành, làm 27 người chết và 109 người bị thương.

Nhà chức trách cho biết vụ thảm sát này là một cuộc tấn công khủng bố bạo lực có tổ chức và được lên kế hoạch từ trước. Theo phóng viên của Tân Hoa Xã có mặt tại hiện trường, một số nghi can đã bị khống chế trong khi cảnh sát đang tiếp tục sàng lọc những người có mặt tại nhà ga.

Kênh truyền hình địa phương K6 đưa tin cảnh sát đã nổ súng tiêu diệt một số kẻ tấn công và phong tỏa một khu vực rộng lớn xung quanh hiện trường. Các xe cứu thương đã khẩn trương đưa những người bị thương tới các bệnh viện trong thành phố. Tính đến 12 giờ đêm, đã có hơn 60 nạn nhân được nhập viện để cứu chữa. 

Ngay sau khi xảy ra vụ việc, trên các trang mạng xã hội của Trung Quốc đã xuất hiện làn sóng lên án hành động này trong khi Cục Quản lý An ninh thuộc Bộ Công an Trung Quốc đã gọi vụ tấn công trên là "tội ác nghiêm trọng". 

Theo ban quản lý nhà ga Côn Minh, các chuyến tàu khởi hành từ nhà ga này không bị ảnh hưởng bởi vụ việc trên. Ga Côn Minh nằm ở khu vực phía Đông Nam thành phố, là một trong những nhà ga lớn nhất ở Tây Nam Trung Quốc. Nhà ga này đi vào hoạt động từ năm 1958./.
