U.S. Navy Commander Urges More Actions to Counter China in the West Philippine Sea
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 май 2024
- After nearly three years with a front-row seat to China’s burgeoning military capabilities, the head of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, Navy Adm. John C. Aquilino, offered a parting warning to lawmakers on the country’s expanding geopolitical objectives. China’s actions are becoming much more belligerent, their rhetoric is clearer. They have now articulated that the feature at Second Thomas Shoal, is sovereign territory of the People’s Republic of China.
Perhaps most dangerous in the Philippines. On Tuesday, Chinese Coast guard blast a Philippine vessel with water cannons in the Scarborough Shoal, which China claims as its own. It also claims the Second Thomas Shoal, where Chinese boats have rammed Philippine boats trying to resupply a ship the Philippines intentionally grounded.
The U.S. acknowledges it is obligated to defend the Philippines. Are Chinese actions increasing the chances of U.S.-Chinese conflict?
China claims almost the entire South China Sea, brushing off rival claims from other countries, including the Philippines, and an international ruling that its assertion has no legal basis. The triangular chain of reefs and rocks that make up Scarborough Shoal, lies 240 kilometers west of the Philippines' main island of Lozon, well with-in the Philippines Exclusive Economic Zone. While nearly 900 kilometers from Hainan, the nearest major Chinese land mass.
Since seizing the shoal, Beijing has deployed its coast guard and other vessels, that Manila says harassed Philippine ships, and prevent its fishermen from accessing the rich lagoon. The latest incident came as the Philippines and the United States held a major annual military exercise that has infuriated Beijing.
Manila and Washington have a mutual defense treaty, and recent confrontations between Philippine and Chinese vessels have fueled speculation of what would trigger it. President Marcos said last month, that US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had given assurances that the treaty would be invoked, if another foreign power killed a Filipino soldier.
Aquilino warned that Beijing continues its aggressive military buildup, modernization, and coercive gray-zone operations, all indications pointing to President Xi Jinping’s directive to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027.
Also becoming more alarming, is China’s actions in and over the South China Sea, highlighted earlier incident when the Philippines accused the Chinese coast guard of using water cannons and obstructing a Philippine resupply mission in the region, dubbing it the most serious incident so far. Aquilino highlighted the country’s bullying behavior stretching from India to Malaysia and Vietnam, and emphasized that the U.S. would respond in line with the defense treaty agreement.
The fire hosing of our Philippine allies, the ramming of their ships and preventing their ability to resupply their sailors on the Sierra Madre, as well as restricting their ability to utilize the resources inside their Exclusive Economic Zone is all counter to international law, Aquilino said. We continue to articulate that Article Five of the mutual defense treaty applies if the Philippines, as our allies, were to be attacked.
More and more countries are responding the China’s aggressive behavior and looking to secure their interests in the region. Seeing it from likeminded countries of U.K. and European nations, more of them are going to deploy naval and military assets to the Pacific. The centrality of Association of Southeast Asian Nations is important to the region. And it’s not, that they’re not seeing it. Their concern is about speaking out, and being at risk from China’s economic coercion, and other behaviors that will negatively impact their nation.

The Philippines is merely a pawn for the West, as when war erupts, the US can sell a plethora of arms to earn Philippine dollars, much like they do with Ukraine. The US won't sacrifice itself to protect the Philippines; they're only interested in profiting from other nations.

@@stivevionziyou don't know them very well.
Thank you so much sir for your concern, in behalf of our countrymen we highly appreciate your help and support to depend our country...God bless America
Dear UN
What if you declare the water cannon as a weapon of destruction since it can cause damage or harm to vehicles and man.
If ever it has been declared and China did not follow and China still used it, many countries will start to see how war driven China is.
UN unfortunately is HEAVILY INFLUENCED by CHINA. That’s the reason why a lot of countries did not attend their so called convention;
I agree
Lol how about Nerf guns? 😂
the UN only depends the terrorists like the HAMAS. They are pro terrorrists.

Sadly that Philippines doesn't have the ability to defend and counter China's aggressiveness to our people and territories.But thankfully that America and our other ALLIES were there to support us and defend as will.
Thank you America and our allies its hard to imagine if we're just alone,who is there to counter this China's greedy actios?
In hundreds of years of recorded history, I don't remember China going to war with the Philippines, only the US going to war with the Philippines. Now you make it affectionate calling the US an ally makes me sick, so you are still colonized and if the Philippine government continues to provoke, I think the outcome will only be worse. You are also naive to think that the US will help the Philippines go to war with China, Ukraine is the best example.
E ang China ang nag bubbly sa pilipinas hinde ang America I guest maka China ka rin .
Why does the Philippines come back to the US and ask to become a state of the US you would have a better economy as a state and full protection with more collective defense.Treaties mean nothing .
@@jokeychinMDT
@@jokeychinwell not until China turns into communist party and started grabbing maritime territories that do not belong to themselves. The Philippines is just following the international law. They have fired the filipino coastguards with water cannons and have built islands on the these territories. I know siding with US has it's consequences, in geopolitics all has its own personal interest, in this case it's a win or lose for US also. Philippines is an ally country in a very strategic location. Failing to defend the country will make the US lose it's hold on the indo
pacific where it's also allies with taiwan, japan korea australia and new zealand. So america will definitely won't make china hold the power to that region. Plus the Philippines have been lenient with china in the previous administration but they have still disrespected the country by secretively building artificial islands within the country's eez. Sooner or later they will claim Palawan or any bordering islands of the archipelago.
That's what friends are for

Thank you for referring it the West Philippine Sea and not the South China Sea.
No country, especially the Philippines, should call it the South China Sea. It is the West Philippine Sea.
Both 1943 Cairo and 1949 Potsdam declarations confirmed that South China Sea belong to China. They are also part of the international laws. You guys should abide them and stop bullying China.
@@ko1993 : The 1943 Cairo Declaration makes no mntion at all of the South China Sea. (Go read the text for yourself.) The Potsdam Conference ws strictly concerned with the aftermath of the war in Europe and how Germany was to be handled. Nice try, though!
@@pilotusa it mentioned that islands in the South China Sea that occupied by Japanese must return to China. These islands form the South China Sea. Therefore the South China Sea belongs to China. If you guys are not happy please bring this issue to the security council.
@@pilotusa meanwhile please stop bullying China.

If only Naval Station Subic Bay hadn't been closed during Cory's time, maybe we wouldn't have had problems in the South China Sea.
that is true!
Wag mo isisi kay Cory..Si Marcos Sr.ang nagpaiksi ng contrata ng US bases sa Pilipinas...mag research ka sa Google sya rin ang kauna unahang Presidente ng Pilipinas na bumarkada sa Insects kaya nakapasok ang produkto ng Insects at unti unting nawala ang produkto ng Western countries..😕😕
That was during Pres. Estrada's era?
Baka nga may impluwensya din ang china sa nangyaring yan eh. Ewan ko ba tatanga-tanga din mga namumuno sa bansa.
Bakit blame naman ang Aquino , e si Estrada ang president ng nagsara ang subic base .
The mutual defense treaty must be updated. Because there is a flaw in that treaty.
What flaw?

Since the waters in issue was named “WEST PHILIPPINES SEA”, we feel that henceforth, our leaders should abandon mentioning that part of coastal waters as South China Sea as the name itself is obviously being invoked as historical rights of China (even it’s several thousand miles away from the nearest island of china, NOT THE ARTIFICIAL ONES built)…
