  • USCG Asian-Pacific-Islander Historical Chronology
    U.S. Coast Guard Historian’s Office Preserving Our History For Future Generations Asian Americans & the U.S. Coast Guard Historical Chronology 1853 U.S contact with Asian cultures came only as the nation’s borders expanded to the Pacific. The first documented case of an Asian man serving on board a Coast Guard asset took place in 1853, when the San Francisco-based cutter Argus rescued the lone survivor of the dismasted junk Yatha Maru, fed and clothed him, and enlisted him into the crew. The cutter’s commanding officer, Lieutenant William Pease, phonetically spelled this first Asian recruit’s name as “Dee-Yee- Noskee.” 1867 Cutter muster roles tell the rest of the story of Asian participation in the nineteenth century. Ethnically Asian names begin to appear on cutter muster rolls just after the Civil War. Expanded revenue cutter operations in the Pacific and the purchase of Alaska in 1867 presented an opportunity for more Chinese, Japanese and Filipino men to enter the rolls on West Coast cutters. As with other minorities, these men initially filled positions in food service or non-petty- officer enlisted rates. By the end of the century, virtually every Pacific-based cutter employed Asian crewmembers. 1879 Chiaio-Shung Soong emigrated from China to Boston as a teenager to work in his uncle’s teashop. Dissatisfied with this work, Soong enlisted on board the cutter Schuyler Colfax in 1879 and transferred to the North Carolina-based cutter Gallatin a year later. After his brief career in the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service, Soong attended Duke and Vanderbilt universities before returning to China as a missionary.

  • Japan's Weapons Transfers to Southeast Asia
    ISSUE: 2021 No. 70 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 25 May 2021 Japan’s Weapons Transfers to Southeast Asia: Opportunities and Challenges Victor Teo* Riding on the rise of neo-conservatism in Japan, the Abe government decided in 2012 that it was vital for Japan to acquire greater autonomy and independence for the sake of its technological sector, particularly those related to the manufacturing of weapon systems. In this picture, a Japanese Navy sailor walks next to a gun on Japan's missile destroyer JS Sazanami during the inauguration of joint naval exercises with the United States and India in Chennai on July 10, 2017. Picture: Arun Sankar, AFP. * Victor Teo is Project Research Fellow at the Beyond The Cold War Project housed at the University of Cambridge’s Centre for Research in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. He was previously Visiting Senior Fellow under the Wang Gungwu Visiting Fellows Programme at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2021 No. 70 ISSN 2335-6677 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Japan’s long history of indigenous weapon development and export was curtailed by Japanese law and the US-Japan alliance after the Second World War. • Japan’s re-emergence as a weapon exporter is fuelled by desires to increase Japanese capabilities, counteract China’s rise, hedge against possible future strategic abandonment by the US, fund next-generation weapon research, and foster Japan’s global leadership and influence in Southeast Asia. • Tokyo’s weapon exports have been more successful through Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) transfers than through commercial deals.

Bootsma, Ruurdje Laarhoven, M.P.H. Roessingh and Fr. P. Schreurs, MSC - have confined themselves to small regions or periods. The recent commemoration of the first Dutch cir- cumnavigation of the globe by Olivier van Noort demonstrated the lack of an up-to-date overview of the ups and downs in Dutch-Philippine relations in the course of the past four centuries. This may not seem surprising, consider- ing the absence of a history of intense, continuous contact. The two sides started with a drawn-out contest, followed by nearly three centuries of little connection, and only fifty years of significant flows of trade, people, trans- port and information. The year 1600 was a remarkable one for the emerging Dutch nation, which had been fighting for its independence from Spain since 1568. A major battle was won at Nieuwpoort, while in Asia two small fleets ventured beyond Java, then newly 'discovered' by Cornelis de Houtman (1595-96). The expedition of the Liefde (Love) resulted in long-lasting trade relations with Japan, with the Dutch obtaining an import and export monopoly through their factory at Deshima.

  • The China Coast Guard: Shifting from Civilian to Military Control in the Era
    FEATURE The China Coast Guard Shifting from Civilian to Military Control in the Era of Regional Uncertainty ULISES GRANADOS Abstract As part of the restructuring of state organizations announced in March 2018, it is known that the China Coast Guard (CCG), previously controlled by the State Oceanic Administration, is coming under the administration of the People’s Armed Police (PAP) from the Central Military Commission (CMC). As a para- digmatic shift from a joint civilian–military control (State Council–CMC) to a purely military one, the reorganization of the CCG, only five years from the latest reshuffling, seems to reveal an the party’s increasing control over the military as outlined in the September 2017 CCP Central Committee and also the intention by the Chinese central government to provide the CCG with more flexibility and authority to act decisively in disputed waters in the East and South China Seas if needed. This article inquiries into the causes, logic, and likely regional conse- quences of such a decision. Amid the upgrading of insular features in the Spratlys, the deployment of bombers in the Paracels, and overall modernization of China’s naval capabilities, the article also explores plausible developments in which the PAP- led CCG, irregular maritime militias, and People’s Liberation Army Navy forces might coordinate more effectively efforts to safeguard self-proclaimed rights in littoral and blue- water areas in dispute. Introduction During the last eight years, East China Sea (ECS) and South China Sea (SCS) waters have been the setting of increased Chinese civil and naval activity that have altered the balance of power among Northeast Asian and Southeast Asian states, trying to cope with a more robust projection of Chinese maritime power.

  • 13 AUG -6 Am :31
    SIXTEENTH CONGRESS OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES First Regular Session 13 AUG -6 Am :31 SENATE S.B. No. 1215 Introduced by Senator Poe Explanatory Note This bill seeks to create the National Seafarers Administration to look into and protect the interests and welfare of Filipino seafarers. A National Seamen Board was created in 1974 to develop and maintain a comprehensive program for Filipino Seafarers employed overseas. However, the Board was abolished in 1982 with the creation of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration under Executive Order No. 797 which has been empowered to formulate and undertake a systematic program for promoting and monitoring the overseas' employment of Filipino workers. The body is likewise mandated to protect the rights of migrant workers including seamen so that they can have fair and enjoy equitable employment practices. An Advisory Board for Seamen was also created which was composed of private sector to advise the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration on its overseas operations. While many commend the performance of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration in protecting the rights and promoting the welfare of Filipino overseas workers, the overseas seamen continually claim that they have been overlooked by the government. The agency concerned may not be aware but the seafarers feel that they are not fully protected and their valid claims, not fully attended. The problems of these workers are so complicated that a government mechanism fully concentrating on the sea-based workers is necessary. This legislation is highlighted with the following good points: 1. The creation of a special body on Filipino seafarers.
