Maritime Tracking Technology and Protecting Human Rights of Minorities

Welcome to the Global Governance Perspective, a podcast presented by the Global Governance Institution. I am retired Captain Andy TIAN, the Founder and President of the Global Governance Institution. In this episode, we will share two presentations by Captain TIAN on two separate topics.

The first section deals with the tracking technology in the South China Sea, which is a topic of the 8th session of the THE 13TH SOUTH CHINA SEA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE held by the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam on 19th November. The past few years saw rapid advancement and popularization of sophisticated tracking and remote sensing technologies, opening new frontiers in maritime domain and situational awareness, particularly in the South China Sea. As its two co-panelists from U.S. and Vietnam challenges China’s maritime militias and scientific survey ships in the South China Sea with reports based on data acquired by using advanced tracking technologies, how will Captain TIAN respond? With a presentation entitled Machete Effect of Transparency through Tracking Technologies, Captain TIAN presented his opinion about how to make the best use of maritime tracking technologies.

The second section is an intervention made by Captain TIAN during the Fourteenth Session of the Forum on Minority Issues held by UN Human Rights Council between 2nd and 3rd December 2021. Captain TIAN introduced China’s practice in protecting its ethnic minorities to the international audience.
