China Responds With Navy Patrols As US Leads Quadrilateral Show Of Marine Might in South China Sea

The Chinese military conducted a naval and air patrol in the disputed South China Sea on April 7. The Chinese exercise came on the same day as the massive joint drills by the US, Philippines, Japan and Australia in the South China Sea. In an apparent swipe at the drills, China said activities “intended to sabotage the situation” and create “hotspots” in the waters were “well under control”. The 4-country joint drill comes amid growing tensions between Beijing and Manila over the disputed South China Sea. The maritime activity takes place days before a summit between the leaders of Japan, the US and the Philippines. #china #worldnews #philippines #usa Video: AP/AFP/Reuters 0:00 - Introduction 0:38 - Display of Marine Might in Disputed South China Sea 2:45 - “maritime Cooperative Activity” for a “Free Indo-pacific“ 4:22 - China and Us’ Rival Drills Amid Tensions With Philippines n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
