Greenland Seeks to Strengthen Research Environment, Nordic Region Emerges as Key Partner Amidst Decline in U.S. Research

Greenland Seeks to Strengthen Research Environment, Nordic Region Emerges as Key Partner Amidst Decline in U.S. Research

Greenland is actively working to strengthen its research environment, with a new report, 'Research in Greenland,' providing a comprehensive overview of research activities from 2015 to 2024. The report, produced by the Centre for Research Analysis at Aarhus University for Arctic Hub, aims to inform research policy priorities. It reveals that while Canada and the U.S. have historically conducted the majority of research in Greenland, there has been a significant decline in U.S. research between 2022 and 2024. The Nordic countries, particularly Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, are emerging as the most frequent collaborators with Greenlandic researchers. Despite the presence of 5,000 to 6,000 international researchers, Greenlandic researchers account for only about five percent of the total. A key concern highlighted is that only 10 percent of all research involves a Greenlandic partner, leading to a perception among some residents of 'research fatigue' where their knowledge is shared without clear benefits or un...

Taiwan Coast Guard Uses Water Cannon to Repel Chinese Fishing Vessels Near Pratas Islands

Taiwan Coast Guard Uses Water Cannon to Repel Chinese Fishing Vessels Near Pratas Islands

Taiwan's Coast Guard patrol vessel Yunlin recently used a water cannon to drive out two Chinese fishing vessels, Yue Hui Dong Yu 75066 and Jin Sha, detected near the Pratas Islands in the South China Sea. The incident occurred on Thursday when an unidentified vessel was initially detected 15.5 nautical miles northeast of Pratas Island, 5.5 nautical miles inside Taiwan's prohibited waters. Upon investigation, the Yunlin located the two Chinese fishing vessels 27 nautical miles east of the island, eight nautical miles within the restricted zone. While Yue Hui Dong Yu 75066 complied with repeated demands to leave, Jin Sha refused. After three unsuccessful attempts to force Jin Sha to depart, the Yunlin deployed a water cannon for 30 seconds from approximately 200 meters, followed by another 90-second burst at closer range. The Coast Guard stated that these actions were in accordance with standard procedures for non-lethal means. Following the repulsion, at the request of Jin Sha's crew, the Taiwanese side pro...

Malaysia Warns of South China Sea Spillover Risk Amid Philippine Military Build-Up Near Sabah

Malaysia Warns of South China Sea Spillover Risk Amid Philippine Military Build-Up Near Sabah

Malaysia is expressing concerns about the potential for conflict spillover from the South China Sea into its territory, specifically Sabah, due to a military build-up on Balabac Island in the Philippines. Balabac, located approximately 50 km from Malaysia's Banggi and Balambangan islands, is undergoing infrastructure development, including a 3,000-meter runway and improved naval access, which could support incoming aircraft, supplies, or mobile launchers. While Malaysian Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin stated that Balabac's build-up is not a direct threat, he highlighted the geographic proximity as a concern, noting that even a limited clash could have repercussions for Malaysia. The Philippines' Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) with the United States allows for rotational American access and construction support at sites like Balabac. Malaysia's proposed response includes strengthening its defenses in Sabah with additional ground units, heavier artillery, coastal radars, air...
