Philippines Afraid : US Navy puts on major of Force in Region Tensions South China Sea

THE US NAVY confirmed on Sunday that it had staged “high-end fighting exercises” in the South China Sea together with the Indian and Japanese navies.

The exercises were meant to send a clear message to China, which has increasingly been involved in multiple territorial disputes with its smaller neighbours in the region. The joint exercises involved ships from the US 7th fleet and included maritime strike operations, air defence and anti-submarine Fight operations. Rear Admiral George Wikoff, commander of the Task Force 70 told reporters that “our operations in the Indo-Pacific are focused on maintaining regional stability and security".

He added: "Our presence reflects our commitment to the values we share with the many partners and allies in the region, and we stand prepared to deter those who challenge these mutual values with the overwhelming force of our combined carrier and amphibious strike groups.”
