Spratly Islands dispute
The Spratly Islands in the South China Sea are rich in fishing and oil reserves. Small wonder that neighbouring countries claim territorial ownership. The building of artificial islands there by China so China can enforce her claim is causing sabre rattling. Here a pilot, sent in to try and find the crew of a downed RAF Shackleton, tells his story.

A U.S. Navy ship sailed near an artificial island built by China in the South China Sea in a long-anticipated challenge to what the Obama administration considers Beijing's "excessive claim" of sovereignty in those waters, a U.S. defense official said Monday.
The official said the White House approved the movement by the USS Lassen, a guided missile destroyer, inside what China claims as a 12-mile territorial limit around Subi Reef in the Spratly Islands archipelago, a disputed group of hundreds of reefs, islets, atolls and islands in the South China Sea.
The patrol was completed without incident, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the Lassen's movements.
A Pentagon spokesman, Navy Cmdr. Bill Urban, declined to comment.

the Spratlys. The Chinese fishing ministry vessels then approached

Philippine officials described the incident as Manila's first direct confrontation with China over the Spratlys.

A Philippine air force jet shadowed the ship during its 70-minute stand-off with the Chinese vessels. 39 journalists were travelling aboard the Benguet at the invitation of the Philippines government, despite protests from Beijing, which said it could "complicate, play up, or internationalise" the dispute over the group of islands. The island chain is thought to be situated over vast reserves of oil and it straddles key international shipping lanes. The area is claimed by China, the Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan, Vietnam and Brunei.

English/Nat
The Philippines has announced plans to seek the help of other nations to try to resolve a dispute with China over the Spratly Islands, a move Beijing strongly opposes.
In a national security conference, President Joseph Estrada and other top officials also agreed to strengthen the Philippines' military capability to guard its territorial waters from Chinese incursions.
Philippine President Joseph Estrada was joined by his predecessors Fidel Ramos and Corazon Aquino when he met the country's top security advisers at the presidential palace in Manila.
This is the first National Security Council meeting to be convened under Estrada's administration.
One of the major topics discussed was the situation at Mischief Reef, part of the disputed Spratly Islands.
The string of islands, reefs and atolls are claimed in whole or in part by the Philippines, China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei.
The Philippines has been protesting against what it sees as Chinese expansion into the region.
China carried out construction work on Mischief Reef in 1995, and says the structures are shelters for fishermen.
This drew protests from Manila.
The dispute heated up last October when Chinese workers began enlarging the structures.
Emerging from Thursday's three-hour meeting, National Security adviser Alexander Aguirre said the Philippines would try to resolve the dispute with China by exhausting all diplomatic and peaceful means.
But he added if efforts failed, the government would seek solutions under the auspices of international groups such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
The ASEAN has a regional forum, where members discuss security issues with dialogue countries like the United States.
Aguirre said meetings with other claimants would be pursued initially.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"On the South China Sea territorial dispute, the government will pursue bilateral diplomatic action vis-a-vis China. It will also pursue multilateral diplomatic initiatives through international groupings such as the ASEAN, ASEAN Regional Forum and other international fora. Upgrade the capability and modernise the facilities of the armed forces of the Philippines to credibly protect the country's exclusive economic zone and the country's territory. And pursue other peaceful initiatives under international law."
SUPER CAPTION: Secretary Alexander Aguirre, National Security Adviser
Photos taken by Philippine Airforce reconnaissance flights show the Chinese-built concrete structures, several storeys high.
It's standing beside what resembles a military barracks and octagonal shelters with satellite dishes on the roof.
Concerns have arisen over the possibility that the fortified structures could be for a more sinister use than fishermen.
But while Aguirre raised the issues of Philippines' sovereignty, he played down the seriousness of a Chinese threat.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Certainly, we would like to protect our sovereign rights to exploit our natural resources, marine resources as allowed by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, UNCLOS. So we are concerned about this because that is within our exclusive economic zone."
Q. But how serious is the threat?
"It's not as serious as people would like to think but it is something we should be concerned of and the national leadership should address."
SUPER CAPTION: Secretary Alexander Aguirre, National Security Adviser
Aguirre said Chinese and Philippine officials will meet in March to discuss their conflicting claims to the oil rich reef on the South China Sea.
The meeting will tackle ways to ease tensions over Mischief Reef and find confidence-building measures to avoid possible conflicts.

On the occasion of celebrating the Chinese Navy 60th anniversary, a short video that was recorded by the Chinese navy in 1988 has been publicized by her state medien. It shows the actions of the Chinese navy in combat as the so called "self-defense" and conceals the reality of a massacre :
64 Vietnamese sailors were killed by 37mm anti-craft guns from Chinese warships in a few seconds.
-------------
Evidences of China's Crime: The Spratly Islands Massacre
1/
With proven historical evidences and an uninterrupted possession, Vietnam has been exercising her sovereignty over the Spratly Islands in the East Vietnam Sea, which is also known as the " South China Sea". However, with continuing ambition for hegemony to control natural resources as well as sea transportation routes, China has brutally and inhumanely attacked Viet Nam, seriously violating Vietnams sovereignty and international laws. This real footage, which was taken by the China Navy during the invasion of the Spratly Islands on March 14th 1988, is an irrefutable proof of China Navys crime. Using overwhelming armed forces, the China Navy killed 64 under-equipped Vietnamese sailors, destroyed and prevented unarmed Vietnamese vessels from saving the injured. The movie has raised a question of criminal charges against the Chinese government, once led by Deng Xiao Ping, for the course of justice. In fact, this defending battle lasted for a few hours at three reefs nearby the island called Sin Cowe, one of the largest islands in the Spratly islands. The Spratly islands locate at a distance of over 1000 km far from the undermost Chinese coast at Hainan island and rightly belong to Vietnam for historical reasons.
2/
In the early months of 1988, the Chinese Navy had landed troops on five reefs and atolls of the Spratly Islands. Three of them lie quite near the large islands that Vietnam owns. The Vietnamese Navy then ferried supplies and equipment to six other reefs and atolls. They successfully gained control of them and prevented the Chinese navy from extending their occupied zone into the other islands. In early March, the High Commander of Vietnamese navy decided to defend other three reefs because they were part of the Spratly Islands and forming an open chain of reefs around the Sin Cowe island that were in control of Vietnam. On March 13th, in the late evening, three Vietnamese transport ships arrived in time at those reefs and set up the flags to represent Vietnams sovereignty over them. However, some hours after the Vietnamese transport ships had reached the target, four large Chinese warships got close to the Vietnamese and switched on the warning loudspeaker. Despite threat from Chinese warships, the Vietnamese transport ships patiently kept anchoring beside the reefs. They were not powerful enough to confront with the Chinese navy and did not want to escalate the conflict. The Chinese were ordered to take an oath before they floated motor-boats with many heavy-armed marines in carrying out the conspiracy to provoke the Vietnamese to break out a war. The Chinese, especially soldiers, are taught that the ocean area of Spratly islands with more than two hundred islands, reefs and atolls belongs to China.
The strain continued until the next morning, when the Chinese mobilized more battle ships, and also more floated motor-boats. They caused more provocations for the battle to break out. By 06:00 am, they suddenly sent 3 aluminium boats that carried about 40 armed marines and rapidly rushed towards the reefs. They landed troops in front of Vietnamese sailor crews and tried to lower the Vietnamese flags that had been already planted into the reef-platform since last evening. Standing on the reefs where the water level covered half of their bodies, the Vietnamese sailors set up commanding positions along the edge of the reefs to lay the defending lines and try to prevent the enemy from advancing forward. They were threatened by the Chinese to retreat from the reefs. This intrusion caused strong reaction from the Vietnamese defenders to hold their flag. They determined to hold on to the reef and keep their flag flying at any cost. Unable to force the Vietnamese to leave the reef, the Chinese marines had to get back to their battle ships. And finally

Just because the Vietnamese navy had refused to withdraw from the reef, the Chinese used battleships for firing with 37-mm anti-aircraft guns directly at the unarmed and light armed Vietnamese sailors on the reefs who were not able to attack them from their defending positions.
wn.com/China´S Massacre In Spratly Islands Real Footage 1988
Created by ottovonstierlitz (Wehrmacht) in Germany, May 2009
Full video HD: http://www.mediafire.com/?h9ei5ofd66q7jp6
On the occasion of celebrating the Chinese Navy 60th anniversary, a short video that was recorded by the Chinese navy in 1988 has been publicized by her state medien. It shows the actions of the Chinese navy in combat as the so called "self-defense" and conceals the reality of a massacre :
64 Vietnamese sailors were killed by 37mm anti-craft guns from Chinese warships in a few seconds.

Evidences of China's Crime: The Spratly Islands Massacre
1/
With proven historical evidences and an uninterrupted possession, Vietnam has been exercising her sovereignty over the Spratly Islands in the East Vietnam Sea, which is also known as the " South China Sea". However, with continuing ambition for hegemony to control natural resources as well as sea transportation routes, China has brutally and inhumanely attacked Viet Nam, seriously violating Vietnams sovereignty and international laws. This real footage, which was taken by the China Navy during the invasion of the Spratly Islands on March 14th 1988, is an irrefutable proof of China Navys crime. Using overwhelming armed forces, the China Navy killed 64 under-equipped Vietnamese sailors, destroyed and prevented unarmed Vietnamese vessels from saving the injured. The movie has raised a question of criminal charges against the Chinese government, once led by Deng Xiao Ping, for the course of justice. In fact, this defending battle lasted for a few hours at three reefs nearby the island called Sin Cowe, one of the largest islands in the Spratly islands. The Spratly islands locate at a distance of over 1000 km far from the undermost Chinese coast at Hainan island and rightly belong to Vietnam for historical reasons.
2/
In the early months of 1988, the Chinese Navy had landed troops on five reefs and atolls of the Spratly Islands. Three of them lie quite near the large islands that Vietnam owns. The Vietnamese Navy then ferried supplies and equipment to six other reefs and atolls. They successfully gained control of them and prevented the Chinese navy from extending their occupied zone into the other islands. In early March, the High Commander of Vietnamese navy decided to defend other three reefs because they were part of the Spratly Islands and forming an open chain of reefs around the Sin Cowe island that were in control of Vietnam. On March 13th, in the late evening, three Vietnamese transport ships arrived in time at those reefs and set up the flags to represent Vietnams sovereignty over them. However, some hours after the Vietnamese transport ships had reached the target, four large Chinese warships got close to the Vietnamese and switched on the warning loudspeaker.

Two B-52 bombers flew near disputed islands in South China Sea: Pentagon

The U.S. government has admitted to flying two strategic bombers close to China′s reclaimed islands in the South China Sea.
The Pentagon says the B52s were contacted by Chinese air traffic control but continued to fly their mission as directed.
Connie Kim reports.
In a move that could further enflame tension between Washington and Beijing,... it has emerged the Pentagon flew two B-52 bombers near China′s artificial islands in the South China Sea earlier this week.
Pentagon spokesman Bill Urban said Thursday that the B-52s were on a routine mission in the South China Sea taking off from and returning to Guam, but did not go within 12-nautical-miles of the islands.
Twelve nautical miles around a territory is internationally recognized as sovereign territory, but the U.S. does not recognize China′s claim to the artificial islands.
Tension escalated late last month after an American destroyer challenged territorial limits around one of China′s man-made islands in the Spratlys.
The Spratlys are a disputed group of more than 750 reefs, islets, atolls, cays and islands claimed by China and four other countries, including Vietnam and the Philippines.
The U.S. says the patrols are within its rights under freedom of navigation.
But Beijing has so far held firm to its stance, saying it will ″never allow any country″ to violate its territorial waters and airspace in the area.
The latest patrol comes days before U.S. President Barack Obama′s trip to Manila for the APEC Summit.
There, Obama is expected to voice Washington′s commitment to freedom of navigation and overflight in the area.
Chinese President Xi Jinping will also attend the APEC talks.
The White House says no decision has been made on whether to put the South China Sea issue on the formal agenda.

English/Nat
A Philippine military commander told Philippines lawmakers visiting an island in the Spratly chain on Friday not to worsen its on-going sovereignty row with China.
The Philippines and China are among six countries with overlapping claims to the Spratlys - a chain of atolls and reefs believed to be rich in oil and natural gas.
The three Philippines congressmen flew to Pag-asa, the biggest of the eight Kalayaan Islands which are the Philippine-claimed part of the hotly disputed Spratlys.
The trip came one week after Chinese naval ships withdrew from an area near two other Philippine-claimed islands.
The members of the Philippines National Defence Committee of the House of Representatives and a number of journalists were flown by the Philippine Air Force to Pag-asa island on Friday.
Pag-asa is the biggest of the eight Kalayaan Islands - the Philippine-claimed part of the disputed Spratlys.
The lawmakers, led by Congressman Roque Ablan, were shown that Chinese naval ships had withdrawn from an area near another Philippine-claimed island called Kota.
Last month, the Philippines filed a diplomatic protest against China after the Air Force spotted at least three armed Chinese ships near the island.
They claimed China had violated a bilateral code of conduct by sending armed ships without prior notice.
But Beijing claimed the vessels were just conducting a marine survey near the islands - which it calls the Nansha Islands.
By last week, the ships had gone and a hut-like structure also spotted by the Air Force had been dismantled.
On Friday, all seemed quiet on Pag-asa as the lawmakers were welcomed by troops stationed there.
Western Command Chief Major General Reynaldo Reyes warned them not to get the dispute with China out of proportion, especially now that calm had returned.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Well, it is very peaceful here in the Kalayaan islands now. We have been maintaining reconnaissance flights regularly, and we do not see any suspicious looking vessels, what we see are fishing vessels that are fishing normally in fish-rich areas."
SUPER CAPTION: Major General Reynaldo Reyes, Western Command
At a briefing, Reyes denied newspaper reports that the Philippines military had planned to send additional troops to the Spratlys at the height of the incident late last month.
The Philippines and China are among six countries with overlapping claims to the Spratlys - a chain of atolls and reefs believed to be rich in oil and natural gas.
At the briefing, Reyes displayed satellite photos he said showed other structures built in the areas claimed by Vietnam, China and Malaysia.
He also emphasised that his forces could move in at a moment's notice, if needed.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Just like any armed forces, any unit should be ready to move in any time."
SUPER CAPTION: Major General Reynaldo Reyes, Western Command
Friday's trip was part of a Congressional inquiry into the situation in the Spratlys.

The Spratly Islands are an unremarkable scattering of reefs and sandbars in the South China Sea. But, rich in resources and claimed by six countries, could they be the trigger for the world's next major conflict?
"We call our Kalayaan Island group the submerged Saudi Arabia of the Philippines." Eugenio Bito-Onon is mayor of a seemingly innocuous islet municipality, home to just 150 residents. But with the region crosshatched by important shipping lanes, the undersea bed replete with oil and gas, and the marine life furnishing vast fishing grounds, the surrounding waters are simmering with tension. China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei all lay claim to a portion of the territory, in a little-known diplomatic contest that for decades has regularly brought the area to the brink of war, and put it firmly off-limits to Western media. "China is doing a lot of things besides bullying our fishermen and small navies", explains the mayor as he points out a Chinese development on a small atoll known as 'Mischief Reef'. Here, the only way to secure the land is to occupy it. So as competing claimants continue to build, could this high-stakes game of island Monopoly erupt into a fully fledged conflict?

China is claiming airspace above the artificial islands that it is building in the disputed waters in South China Sea.
A Philippines aircraft on routine reconnaissance patrol was told to leave by Chinese coastguard over Subi Reef on April 19, where China is said to be planning a 3km airstrip, the Straits Times reported.
A Chinese frigate stationed near the reef reportedly flashed lights and radioed the aircraft to leave, Philippines military spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Harold Cabunoc told the Straits Times.
China denied flashing lights at the aircraft but said it did radio the pilot because of “multiple intrusions into the area above waters near China’s islands and reefs over recent days”, the Straits Times quoted China’s Foreign Ministry as saying.
“Under these conditions, I think that individuals hyping up an ADIZ, that China possibly wants to set one up in the South China Sea, this obviously has ulterior motives,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told Reuters.
Philippines air force and navy planes have been told to leave a China-held “military security area” above the disputed Spratly Islands at least six times in the past three months, the Straits Times reported.

China is claiming airspace above the artificial islands that it is building in the disputed waters in South China Sea.
A Philippines aircraft on routine reconnaissance patrol was told to leave by Chinese coastguard over Subi Reef on April 19, where China is said to be planning a 3km airstrip, the Straits Times reported.
A Chinese frigate stationed near the reef reportedly flashed lights and radioed the aircraft to leave, Philippines military spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Harold Cabunoc told the Straits Times.
China denied flashing lights at the aircraft but said it did radio the pilot because of “multiple intrusions into the area above waters near China’s islands and reefs over recent days”, the Straits Times quoted China’s Foreign Ministry as saying.
“Under these conditions, I think that individuals hyping up an ADIZ, that China possibly wants to set one up in the South China Sea, this obviously has ulterior motives,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told Reuters.
Philippines air force and navy planes have been told to leave a China-held “military security area” above the disputed Spratly Islands at least six times in the past three months, the Straits Times reported.

BEIJING: China is building a concrete runway on an island in the South China Sea's contested waters that will be capable of handling military aircraft when finished, satellite images released Thursday show.
The first section of the runway appears like a piece of gray ribbon on an image taken last month of Fiery Cross Reef, part of the Spratly Islands, an archipelago claimed by at least three other countries. Adjacent to the runway, work is underway on an apron for taxiing and parking planes.
The runway, which is expected to be about 10,000 feet long - enough to accommodate fighter jets and surveillance aircraft - represents a game changer in the competition between the United States and China in the South China Sea, said Peter Dutton, professor of strategic studies at the Naval War College in Rhode Island.
"This is a major strategic event," Dutton said. "In order to have sea control, you need to have air control."

Vietnam formally accused China of violating its sovereignty and a recent confidence-building pact on Saturday (January 3) by landing a plane on an airstrip Beijing has built on an artificial island in a contested part of the South China Sea.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Le Hai Binh said the airfield, had been "built illegally" on Fiery Cross Reef in the Spratly archipelago, in territory that was "part of Vietnam's Spratlys."
China's Foreign Ministry rejected the complaint, saying that what was a test flight to the newly built airfield on the reef, which China calls Yongshu Jiao, was a matter "completely within China's sovereignty," the Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported.
The United States said it was concerned that the flight had exacerbated tensions.
Washington has criticized China's construction of artificial islands in the South China Sea and worries that Beijing plans to use them for military purposes, even though China says it has no hostile intent.
Pooja Jhunjhunwala, a spokeswoman for the U.S. State Department, said there was "a pressing need for claimants to publicly commit to a reciprocal halt to further land reclamation, construction of new facilities, and militarization of disputed features."
Chinese foreign ministry said on its website that China used a civil aircraft to conduct the flight to test whether the airfield facilities meet civil-aviation standards.
Hanoi's Foreign Ministry said Vietnam handed a protest note to China's embassy and asked China not to repeat the action.
It called the flight "a serious infringement of the sovereignty of Vietnam on the Spratly archipelago."
China claims almost all the South China Sea, which is believed to have huge deposits of oil and gas, and through which about $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year, and has been building up facilities on the islands it controls.
It completed an airfield on Fiery Cross Reef that security experts say could accommodate most Chinese military aircraft late last year.
Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan also have rival claims in the South China Sea.

South China Sea disputes: China’s land reclamation in the Spratlys grows, says Pentagon - TomoNews

BEIJING — A new Pentagon report released on Thursday says that China’s reclamation efforts in the Spratly Islands has grown dramatically over the last few months, and at a rate far faster than earlier this year.
Previous estimates that China has reclaimed 2,000 acres since December 2013 are wrong, the Pentagon report says, and the real amount is around 2,900 acres.
According to the Pentagon, China has reclaimed more land in the past 20 months than the other claimants combined over the past 40 years. China said in early August that it has halted its reclamation efforts in the island chain, although many countries question these claims.
On Fiery Cross Reef, China has built an airstrip that the country could use as an alternative to an aircraft carrier. Reuters reports that the 3,000-metre-long runway will most likely be operational by the end of this year.
At many of the reclamation sites in the Spratlys, China has also built channels and berthing areas for large ships.
The new Pentagon report, titled “The Asia-Pacific Maritime Security Strategy,” was required by Congress ahead of a 2015 defense bill.

China Warns U.S Plane to Leave Airspace over Disputed Waters
China said it is entitled to monitor the airspace and seas around artificial islands in the South China Sea after a reported exchange between its navy and a U.S. surveillance plane dji phantom 3 inspire 2
CNN reported that on Wednesday its journalists, who had been allowed to join the flight, heard a Chinese navy dispatcher make eight demands that a U.S. P8-A Poseidon surveillance aircraft leave the area as it flew over Fiery Cross Reef.
China is undergoing a massive land reclamation program in the South China Sea, parts of which are claimed by five other countries, including U.S. treaty ally Philippines.
The U.S. says the string of artificial islands the nation is building could be used as military bases from which the country could attempt to restrict air and sea traffic.
On Thursday, China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei reiterated Beijing's claim of indisputable sovereignty over the islands, and said it entitles China to keep watch over the surrounding area to "maintain national security and avoid any maritime accidents High quality global journalism requires investment.
The US military has tried to step up pressure on China by publicising a surveillance flight over contested islands in the South China Sea, in a move that threatens to escalate tensions over the Chinese government’s land reclamation in the area.
A US Navy surveillance aircraft was warned to turn away by the Chinese navy as it approached Fiery Cross Reef, team that was invited aboard the flight. “This is the Chinese navy,” the English-language transmission said, according to an account “Please go away . . . to avoid misunderstanding. island u.s. surveillance china "united states" navy naval "man made" flight airplane radio intelligence radio telecommunications territory battle warning future "south china sea" fishing commodity nature reef "mainland china" 2015 2016 mission construction military "air force" challenge asia asian "south east asia" ASEAN power control status america news media entertainment game games drone cctv "cctv camera" "spy camera" spy "elite nwo agenda" aircraft shipping alex jones infowars coast to coast am montagraph daboo77 daboo777 dutchsinse anonymous gerald celente max keiser lindsey williams bilderberg illuminati end game false flag attack japan korea new world order military industrial complex red dawn prepper prepare survival bugout underground bunker
It also carried out surveillance on Mischief reef, where Chinese dredging activity provoked a diplomatic protest from Manila in February. Both land features are part of the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea, which are claimed wholly or in part by China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei. China’s state news agency accused the U.S. on Saturday of having a “pirate-style sense of insecurity” in response to recent comments from Washington expressing concern over Beijing’s territorial claims in the disputed South China Sea.
The Xinhua News Agency took issue with remarks by U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki on Monday that Chinese land reclamation and construction work on disputed South China Sea islands were “fueling greater anxiety within the region about China’s intentions.” In what PLA sources are describing as an unusually high figure, China has mobilized 100,000 troops to take part in a border exercise as part of preparations for a Korean Peninsula crisis.
The US called all claimants to comply with the 2002 China ASEAN Declaration of Conduct, in which the parties committed to “exercise self-restraint in the conduct of activities that would complicate or escalate disputes and affect peace and stability.” island in the South China Sea “illegally occupied President Xi Jinping to prepare the People’s Liberation Army for in response to US aggression in the Asia Pacific, developments which have prompted “major changes” in China’s national security situation. Amidst tensions over the disputed Senkaku Islands, Beijing has also aimed some of its strident rhetoric at the United States, bragging about China’s ability to attack US military bases in the Western Pacific, as well as releasing of a map showing the locations of major U.S. cities and how they would be impacted by a strike launched from the PLA’s strategic submarine force.

Japan, Philippines anger China with P-3C Orion training exercise near Spratly Islands - TomoNews

PUERTO PRINCESA — In defiance of China’s warnings, Philippines and Japan have, for the second day, flown patrol planes, including P-3C Orion surveillance aircraft. near disputed areas of the South China sea.
The flights took place in the general direction of the resource-rich Reed Bank. Although it falls within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone, China has contested this claim.
Despite opposition from the Chinese foreign ministry, Japan and the Philippines have insisted that their joint drills are a peaceful exercise intended to strengthen humanitarian and disaster response between the former World War II foes.
While some have welcomed a growing Japanese presence in the region, Japan’s military is stretched its own territorial dispute with China, as well as the ever-present security threat from North Korea.
Meanwhile, analysts have suggested that China may begin placing Shenyang J-11 air-superiority fighter on the recently built runways in the Spratlys, according to the South China Morning Post. The placement of the fighter, which is based on the Russian Sukhoi Su-27, would extend the reach of China’s air force 1,000 km further south.
