Military exercises in the South China Sea and relevant international tensions were again in the spotlight after the United States and its allies, including the Philippines, Australia and Japan, joint military measures were made for them.
Beijing said he responded to a “routine patrol.”
Bilateral military exercises are of special importance in light of regional conflicts in the region, given that China has long demanded an important part of the South China Sea, which led the federations.
A spokesman for the Chinese Southern Military Command, Tian Junley, stated that China has “indifferent” regional sovereignty and marine interests in the region, with the support of “abundant” historical and legal institutions. Tian Manila also accused repeated countries to take patrols in the South China Sea “to hide” itself,
Beijing's violation actions and thus undermine the peace and stability of the region.
The Philippine Armed Forces announced that they would conduct a military exercise with the United States and Canada forces on Wednesday in a “multilateral sea cooperation activity” in 200 naval economic areas in the Philippines. After that, the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom conducted joint practices and operations in the region from February 6 to 7, which was announced by the US Navy. The United States and the Japanese Navy practiced a bilateral practice in the region.
