Four current and former U.S. offi- cials said Abu Mohammed al-Masri, al-Qaida’s No. 2, was killed by assas- sins in the Iranian capital in August. The U.S. provided intelligence to the Israelis on where they could find al- Masri and the alias he was using at the time, while Israeli agents carried out the killing, according to two of the officials. The two other officials confirmed al-Masri’s killing but could not provide specific details. Al-Masri was gunned down in a Tehran alley on Aug. 7, the anni- versary of the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Al- Masri was widely believed to have participated in the planning of those attacks and was wanted on terrorism charges by the FBI.

  • US-China Strategic Competition in South and East China Seas
    U.S.-China Strategic Competition in South and East China Seas: Background and Issues for Congress Updated September 8, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42784 U.S.-China Strategic Competition in South and East China Seas Summary Over the past several years, the South China Sea (SCS) has emerged as an arena of U.S.-China strategic competition. China’s actions in the SCS—including extensive island-building and base- construction activities at sites that it occupies in the Spratly Islands, as well as actions by its maritime forces to assert China’s claims against competing claims by regional neighbors such as the Philippines and Vietnam—have heightened concerns among U.S. observers that China is gaining effective control of the SCS, an area of strategic, political, and economic importance to the United States and its allies and partners. Actions by China’s maritime forces at the Japan- administered Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea (ECS) are another concern for U.S. observers. Chinese domination of China’s near-seas region—meaning the SCS and ECS, along with the Yellow Sea—could substantially affect U.S. strategic, political, and economic interests in the Indo-Pacific region and elsewhere. Potential general U.S. goals for U.S.-China strategic competition in the SCS and ECS include but are not necessarily limited to the following: fulfilling U.S. security commitments in the Western Pacific, including treaty commitments to Japan and the Philippines; maintaining and enhancing the U.S.-led security architecture in the Western Pacific, including U.S.

  • Friend Or Foe: Explaining the Duterte Administration's China Poliy in The
    4 The Cornell International Affairs Review FRIEND OR FOE: Explaining the Duterte Administration's China Policy in the South China Sea1 Tan, Brenda2 “I am no American puppet. I am the president of a sovereign country and I am not answerable to anyone except the Filipino people.” -Rodrigo Duterte, September 2016 INTRODUCTION The nature of the Philippines’ foreign policy towards China in the South China Sea is puzzling. In the same year he was sworn into office as the President of the Republic of the Philippines on 30 June 2016, Duterte not only sparked international attention with his fervent rhetoric, but also confusion when he untangled his administration from the Aquino administration’s geopolitical agenda.3 Departing from his predecessor’s more confrontational policy,4 he announced the Philippines’ military and economic separation from the United States,5 and significantly downplayed its diplomatic win at the Permanent Court of 1 This work is licensed under CC BY 4.0.

Honors Thesis CHINA’S MARITIME GRAND STRATEGY By Sarah Quan Submitted to Brigham Young University in partial fulfillment of graduation requirements for University Honors Kennedy Center for International Studies Brigham Young University December 2019 Advisor: Eric Hyer Thesis Readers: Jon Felt and Robert Griffiths ABSTRACT CHINA’S MARITIME GRAND STRATEGY Sarah Quan Kennedy Center for International Studies Bachelor of Arts INTRODUCTION China’s goals in the South China Sea are twofold: to expand sovereignty while keeping the peace. I argue this is accomplished through rhetorical strategic ambiguity and military clarity, which have characterized China’s maritime grand strategy since 2010. Using confusion and clarity—two seemingly opposite strategies—allows China to simultaneously expand sovereignty and maintain peace. This paper first introduces the literature and theory behind grand strategy and strategic ambiguity. It then demonstrates how China’s intentions are made clear through military actions, then shows that China’s rhetoric is ambiguous to members of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) by weighing evidence that China is unintentional in its ambiguity against evidence showing this is a deliberate strategy.
