Manila (Philippines): The conflict between America, Japan and the Philippines with China in the disputed South China Sea has further increased. In view of the continuously increasing tension, on Friday America deployed a reconnaissance aircraft in the South China Sea. While Japan and Philippines sent naval ships. This has created a disturbance in the sea. Let us tell you that only two days ago, the allied forces had condemned the action of Chinese coast guard ships against Philippine patrol ships.
US Indo-Pacific Command said it conducted joint patrols by allies and partners in the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines to 'preserve freedom of navigation and overflight' and 'other lawful uses of the sea and international airspace' Went. Two Philippine security officials said the patrol was conducted about 40 nautical miles (74 kilometers) off Scarborough Shoal, a fishing area disputed between Beijing and Manila off the northwestern Philippines. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss such details publicly.
China claims the South China Sea
China claims almost the entire South China Sea and defends it aggressively with its coast guard, navy and suspected militia fleet. They have clashed with the armies of rival claimant countries, including the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei. Indonesia has also had confrontations with Chinese coast guard vessels carrying fishermen in the gas-rich Natuna waters off the southern shores of the South China Sea. The joint naval patrol of the Philippines, the US and their security partner countries was delayed due to several typhoons in the region. (Language)
