Is Taiwan’s Evergreen Helping To Finance China’s Naval Expansion?
Reuters April 8, 2022
A new report says that commercial shipbuilding efforts by prominent companies – including Carnival Cruise Lines, CMA CGM, and Taiwan’s Evergreen Shipping – are helping China finance warships.
By Michael Martina (Reuters) – Contracts between China’s top state-owned shipbuilding firm and Taiwan’s leading shipping company are likely lowering the costs of upgrading China’s navy, posing security concerns for the island claimed by Beijing, a U.S. think tank said on Thursday.
China State Shipbuilding Corp (CSSC) is a key producer of vessels for China’s rapidly expanding People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN), and is thought to be building its third aircraft carrier.
Taiwan’s Evergreen Marine Corp has purchased 44 vessels from China since 2018, all but two of which were ordered from shipyards that produce Chinese warships, including CSSC, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said in a report.
We found that between 2019 and 2021, four key Chinese dual-use shipyards received orders for at least 211 commercial vessels. Foreign companies ordered 64 percent of these ships. pic.twitter.com/ZrC4oiEe7R

The Washington-based think tank said foreign companies, including from U.S. allies such as France, also buy ships from CSSC, which the United States has placed on an investment blacklist for U.S. individuals and companies due to its Chinese military links.
CSIS said while there is limited transparency on the flow of foreign capital in China’s shipbuilding industry, “available evidence indicates that profits from foreign orders are likely lowering the costs of upgrading China’s navy.”
CSIS called the foreign contracts “a tangible threat to national security” for some democracies in the region and said companies should consider U.S. allies South Korea and Japan as alternative shipbuilding partners.
Democratically governed Taiwan has complained of increased military pressure by Beijing, which has never renounced the use of force to bring the island under its control.
The CSIS study included commercial satellite imagery from February 2022 showing at least three Evergreen hulls under construction near China’s newest aircraft carrier at CSSC’s subsidiary Jiangnan shipyard near Shanghai. Evergreen vessels have also been docked next to Chinese navy cruisers and destroyers, it said.
The imagery “suggests there is direct sharing of resources between military and civilian operations at China’s key shipyards,” CSIS said.
Evergreen said in a statement that all of its containership projects undergo international bidding, and that its contracts with CSSC’s commercial shipbuilding department were “completely different and separate” from CSSC’s military department.
“We believe the civil commercial shipbuilding activities have nothing to do with national naval projects,” it said, adding that it discloses information about its orders to investors and authorities.
Taiwan rejects China’s sovereignty claims and says only the island’s people can decide their future.

U.S., India Agree to Explore Using Indian Shipyards for Repair and Maintence of Military Sealift Command Ships
Mike Schuler April 13, 2022
The United States and India have agreed to explore the use of Indian shipyards for the repair and maintence of U.S. Navy Military Sealift Command ships.
The agreement was made during this week’s fourth annual U.S.-India 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue, attended by U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III along with India’s Minister of Defence Rajnath Singh and Minister of External Affairs Dr. S. Jaishanka.
During the discussions, the four leaders discussed ways to promote and enhance diplomatic relations between the two countries, including forging new and deeper cooperation across the U.S.-India partnership on issues such as defense, science and technology, trade, climate, public health, and people-to-people ties.
One topic included progress made towards the implementation of an Industrial Security Agreement, with both sides agreeing to explore and further promote “the means to encourage reciprocal participation of U.S. and Indian vendors in each other’s defense supply chains,” according to a joint statement following the meeting.
India’s Ministers, a acknowledging India’s focus on developing its domestic capabilities and helping to ensure reliable defense supplies, committed to “work closely across their respective governments on co-production, co-development, cooperative testing of advanced systems, investment promotion, and the development of Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facilities in India,” the statement said.
“To further enhance defense industrial cooperation in the naval sector, both sides agreed to explore possibilities of utilizing the Indian shipyards for repair and maintenance of ships of the U.S. Maritime Sealift Command (MSC) to support mid-voyage repair of U.S. Naval ships,” according to the statement.
Military Sealift Command, an organization within the U.S. Navy, is responsible for the replenishment of U.S. Navy ships at sea and is the leading provider of ocean transportation for the U.S. Department of Defense, with approximately 125 ships operating around the globe.
The U.S. Navy in February participated with the Indian Navy and others in Exercise Milan 2022 in Bay of Bengal, marking the first time the U.S. participated in the Indian Navy-hosted multilateral excercise.

Police Arrest Hundreds In Global Child Porn Sting
November 14, 20133:53 PM ET
Scott Neuman
Toronto police say they've cracked a massive child porn network, rescuing 386 children around the world and nabbing hundreds of suspects, including teachers, clergymen and doctors.
Of the 348 people arrested worldwide, 108 were in Canada and 76 in the U.S. Project Spade, as the sweep is known, is described by Canadian police as one of the largest-ever child porn busts.
Inspector Joanna Beaven-Desjardins, head of Toronto's Sex Crimes Unit, said officers are believed to have "seized hundreds of thousands of videos detailing horrific sexual acts against very young children, some of the worst that they have ever viewed."
"Of concern to the investigators was the number of people (arrested) who have close contact with children," Beaven-Desjardins said at a news conference. "The arrests included 40 school teachers, nine doctors and nurses, 32 people who volunteered with children, six law enforcement personnel, nine pastors or priests, and three foster parents."
Police allege that the focus of the network was Brian Way, 42, who instructed people around the world to produce sexually explicit videos of children, ranging in age from 5 to 12 years of age. Since 2005, Way, from Toronto, has distributed the videos in 94 countries via his company, Azov Films, police say.
The BBC says Way has been in custody since 2011 as part of an earlier sting.
The Associated Press says police "executed a search warrant at Way's company and home, seizing about 1,000 pieces of evidence: computers, servers, DVD burners, a video editing suite and hundreds of movies."
"Way was charged with 24 offenses, including child pornography. He is in jail. Police also designated Azov Films as a criminal organization, charging Way with giving directions on behalf of a gang."
The BBC says:
"The Toronto Police Service (TPS) Child Exploitation Section was able to determine the identities of customers using Azov Films' databases.
US investigators then joined the inquiry because many of the films were being exported to addresses in America. Seven months later, a series of raids took place across Toronto, including at a site owned by Azov Films and Brian Way, police said."
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, which participated in the sting, tells AP that it began its investigation by accessing Azov's website and making undercover purchases.
Reuters says the investigation, started in 2010, was joined by some 30 police forces from Australia, Spain, Ireland, Greece, South Africa, Hong Kong, Mexico, Norway and the United States, among others. It led to the rescue of 386 children, most of whom were prepubescent, Beaven-Desjardins said without elaborating.
She said the investigation was ongoing and that "there will be further arrests and I imagine there will be more children that will be saved because of it."

Child abuse investigation: 65 arrested and six children rescued in Australia
Federal police uncover ‘abhorrent and disgusting’ amount of material as nationwide arrests include priests and teachers
Police have rescued six children and arrested 65 people in Australia as part of a multinational police operation cracking down on a global child exploitation ring.
Almost 350 people, including teachers, coaches and doctors, have been arrested, accused of keeping images of child abuse after a Canadian-led investigation.
The arrests of 348 people, including 108 in Canada, 76 in the United States and 164 in other countries from Spain to Australia, came after a three-year investigation into a Toronto company that distributed child abuse images.
"Of concern to the investigators was the number of people [arrested] who have close contact with children. The arrests included 40 schoolteachers, nine doctors and nurses, 32 people who volunteered with children, six law enforcement personnel, nine pastors or priests, and three foster parents," Inspector Joanna Beaven-Desjardins, head of Toronto's sex crimes unit, told a news conference.
Australian federal police (AFP) on Friday morning said that six children had been removed from harm – five from Western Australia and one from ACT. Worldwide, 386 children have been rescued, most of whom were prepubescent, Beaven-Desjardins said.
Already 399 charges have been laid against the 65 people arrested as part of the Australian-based component of the investigation, known as Operation Thunderer, and more are likely. Charges include accessing, possessing, producing and distributing online child exploitation material. The first arrests were made in August and are ongoing, AFP commander Glen McEwen told reporters.
Investigators uncovered an “abhorrent and disgusting” amount of material when carrying out search warrants on Australian premises. The AFP were led to premises after Canadian police identified international customers of the Toronto website.
AFP officers arrested 33 people in Queensland, 12 in South Australia, nine in NSW, five in both Western Australia and Victoria, and one on ACT.
Among the people arrested by NSW police are two teachers, both 42, a 57-year-old priest and a 72-year-old retired priest.
“If you choose to view and circulate child abuse images, you will be investigated, pursued and charged, regardless of where you are located,” commander of the NSW police sex crimes squad, detective superintendent John Kerlatec, said.
“Behind every child abuse image there is a real victim who has been sexually exploited and abused, and we need to do everything we can to remove these children from harm and arrest those involved in that exploitation.”
The investigation was carried out by some 30 police forces from Australia, Spain, Ireland, Greece, South Africa, Hong Kong, Mexico, Norway and the United States, among others.
Police began looking into the operations of a Toronto company called Azovfilms.com and its owner, Brian Way, in October 2010, and the US Postal Investigation Service helped comb through the company's database to track down both the producers and the consumers of the child abuse images, Beaven-Desjardins said.
Police allege Brian Way, 42, instructed people around the world to create the videos of children ranging from five to 12 years of age, then distributed the videos through his company, Azov Films, to international customers.
The videos included naked boys from Germany, Romania and Ukraine, which it marketed as naturist movies and claimed were legal in Canada and the US.
Police said they executed a search warrant at Way's company and home, seizing about 1000 pieces of evidence: computers, servers, DVD burners, a video editing suite and hundreds of movies.
Way was charged with 24 offences, including child pornography. He is in jail. Police also designated Azov Films as a criminal organisation, charging Way with giving directions on behalf of a gang.
Beaven-Desjardins said this is the first time in Canada that anyone has been charged with being a part of a criminal organisation with regard to child pornography.
