China Ramps up Naval: The first exercise of India-Filippines has increased China’s concern, due to which China has now deployed its navy in the South China Sea. At the same time, the President of the Philippines is currently on his visit to India.
China India Philippines Joint Patrol: Chhathrat and the Philippines patrolled the maritime area together for the first time, in response to which China last week increased its number of Navy and Coast Guard. This information has been given by the American Naval Institute. From Friday to Monday, China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy served routine patrolling, through which Beijing responded as provocative actions of Manila and some non-regional countries. PLA’s Southern Theater Command spokesman Tian Junli said that China completely opposed any external interference in its universal water area.
China’s reaction came after this action of India-Filippines
China has taken such a step not in a hurry but thoughtfully. This is because on Sunday, three warships of the Indian Navy and the Navy ships of the Philippines were seen in exercise with BRP Jose Rizal and BRP Miguel Malwar. It included air defense and anti -submarine operations. During this time, two Chinese warships were also being closely monitored.
China is angry with India-Filippines
The Coast Guard patrolled to implement maritime law in a Scarborough Shole area from the most sensitive places in China. All these things are matter because the President of the Philippines Bongbong Marcos is currently present in Delhi. India and the Philippines have worked to convert their relations into a strategic partnership. Both countries have agreed to defense and maritime cooperation, now China has become angry with this. India’s joining the South China Sea is considered a very big strategic change. China describes all these things as normal, but USNI reflects Beijing’s concern.
