CHINA’S Aggression in South China Sea: US Allies on Edge
— China is ramping up aggressive actions near the Philippines, pushing boundaries that could compel U.S. intervention under treaty obligations. Andrew J. Masigan, a consultant to MEMRI’s Chinese Media Studies project, told Fox News Digital that Beijing’s provocations are deliberate attempts to justify further escalation.
Masigan emphasized that the Philippines will not be baited into conflict and will adhere to international law while bolstering alliances with the U.S., Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Malaysia. Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. criticized China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea as turning it into a "Lake of China.
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. highlighted the global stakes involved, noting that half of the world’s trade passes through these waters and stressing that regional stability is a global concern. Since late 2023, China has intensified its harassment of Philippine vessels using military-grade lasers and water cannons among other aggressive tactics.
China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy now boasts the largest fleet of active warships globally, while its Coast Guard has significantly increased confrontations with Filipino fishermen and Coast Guard ships using armed vessels and maritime militias equipped by the Chinese military.
