#indo china faceoff

[warningsine]

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Washington’s top diplomat and defense chief announced $500 million in new military funding Tuesday to boost the Philippines’ external defense and progress on a proposed military intelligence-sharing pact as both allies renewed their concerns over China’s continuing aggressive actions in the region.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who has fortified Manila’s decades-old treaty alliance with Washington as hostilities between Philippine and Chinese forces flared since last year in the disputed South China Sea.

Marcos hailed “very open” communication lines between Washington and Manila, adding that the two countries’ treaty alliance and key issues in the South China Sea and the Indo-Pacific region “are continuously examined and reexamined so we are agile in terms of our responses.”

Marcos has underscored the need for a U.S. military presence for Asian stability and peace.

After meeting their Philippine counterparts later, Blinken and Austin announced the $500 million military funding to help modernize the Philippine military and coast guard and boost security collaboration amid shared concerns over China’s assertive actions.

“Both of us share concerns and many other countries in the region share concerns, as well, about some of the actions that the People’s Republic of China has taken, escalatory actions in the South China Sea, the East China Sea and elsewhere,” including “coercive methods,” Blinken said in a joint news conference.

He and Austin renewed a warning that the U.S. would help defend the Philippines if Filipino forces, ships and aircraft come under attack in the Pacific, including in the South China Sea.

“Every peso or dollar spent on hardening Philippine capabilities to defend itself and to deter unlawful aggression will be a plus against any threat actor, whether it be China or anyone,” Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro said.

The visit came the week after the Philippines and reached a temporary arrangement to prevent clashes around the Philippine-occupied Second Thomas Shoal like the violent faceoff between their forces on June 17.

Philippine forces transported food and other supplies and a fresh batch of navy personnel Saturday to Manila’s territorial outpost at the shoal without a confrontation were reported for the first time since last year.

The U.S. along with Japan, Australia, South Korea, New Zealand and Singapore, have welcomed the arrangement to deescalate tensions, Philippine Foreign Secretary Enrique Manalo said.

But the Philippines would continue strengthening its territorial defense with the assistance of the U.S. and other friendly military powers and build new security alliances, Philippine Ambassador to the U.S. Jose Manuel Romualdez said.

“The non-confrontational resupply and rotation is purely temporary. The People’s Republic of China will not stop and we are determined just as well,” Romualdez told The Associated Press.

The $500 million in U.S. military financing would include funding for reinforcing the Philippine navy’s capability. About $125 million would be used for constructions and other improvements in parts of Philippine military bases to be occupied by U.S. forces under the 2014 Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement, Romualdez said.

With strong support in Congress, U.S. military funding may double next year “depending on our capacity to absorb it,” Romualdez said.

Progress in negotiations on a proposed military intelligence-sharing pact, the General Security of Military Information Agreement was announced by Austin, who said that the accord may be concluded later this year.

The agreement, similar to ones Washington has forged with other allied countries, would allow the U.S. to provide high-level intelligence, more sophisticated weapons, including missile systems, and access to satellite and drone surveillance systems to the Philippines with an assurance that such intelligence and details about sophisticated weapons would be closely kept secret in a highly secured manner to prevent leaks, two Philippine officials told the AP, speaking on condition of anonymity because of a lack of authority to discuss the issue publicly.

Philippine efforts to obtain sophisticated weapons from the U.S. military in the past have been hampered by the lack of such an intelligence deal.

In his meeting with Blinken and Austin, Marcos alluded to the intense political divisions in the U.S. ahead of the presidential elections this year.

“I’m a bit surprised considering how interesting your political situation has become back in the States, but I’m glad that you found the time to come and visit with us,” Marcos said.

Meanwhile, Blinken said U.S. support to the Philippines would not change regardless of who becomes America’s next president. Numerous countries have expressed concerns about the implications of former President Donald Trump returning to the White House in January after President Joe Biden withdrew and threw his support to Vice President Kamala Harris.

“That doesn’t change from election to election,” Blinken said. “That commitment will endure, again, irrespective of administrations and this has been a long and powerful story in our history.”

Marcos approved last year an expansion of the U.S. military presence in four more Philippine military camps under the 2014 defense agreement, and the largest war drills between Filipino and U.S. forces have been staged under his administration, drawing opposition and alarm from China. Beijing has said that increased deployments of American forces would endanger regional peace and security.

The Philippines has responded that it has the right to move to safeguard its territorial interests and national security.

China says there is ‘no space for third party’ in boundary negotiations

Recently the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo showed his support for India’s efforts to defend its sovereignty in context to the Military stand-off in the Ladakh region. The neighboring country of India, China got rattled with the support statement and released an official statement saying that "boundary question is a bilateral matter" and it does not allow any third party space to intervene.

Mike Pompeo in a statement yesterday made clear that     the US “will stand with India as they confront threats to their sovereignty, liberty."

Mike had a long discussion with the National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. They also discussed the Ladakh intervention after which Mike said, "The US will stand with India in its efforts to defend its sovereignty and its liberty... Our nations are committed to working together into expanding our partnerships across many fronts."

Beijing later said that the when two countries are developing bilateral ties, it should not, "infringe upon legitimate rights and interests of a third party" and they must influence regional peace, stability and development.

"The boundary question is a bilateral matter between China and India. The two sides have been discussing disengagement and de-escalation in the border areas through diplomatic and military channels. China and India have the wisdom and ability to handle their differences properly. There's no space for a third party to intervene," read the official statement released by the Chinese Embassy.

China also went forward accusing the US of pitching an Indo-Pacific strategy. China said that the US is doing so to maintain dominance. "The 'Indo-Pacific strategy' proposed by the US is to stir up confrontation among different groups and blocs and to stoke geopolitical competition, in a bid to maintain the dominance of the US, organize closed and exclusive ideological cliques," its statement said.

China Again Tells Arunachal Pradesh Its Share India China Faceoff

On the interrogation of the Indian Army in the kidnapping case of five Indian nationals from Upper Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh, China has still kept a silent, but on the contrary, it has once again tried to raise a dispute over Arunachal Pradesh. The Chinese ministry has even said that China has never recognised Arunachal Pradesh and is part of China's South Tibet region. Delhi NCR Hindi News with update.

When asked by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao L. Ji, about the five abducted Indians from Arunachal Pradesh, he told Arunachal Pradesh a part of China instead of giving information about it. He said he is not aware of the request of the Indian Army. He said that China has never recognised Arunachal Pradesh, which is the southern Tibetan territory of China. On the question of the Indian Army sending a message to the PLA to leave the Indians, the Chinese spokesperson said that we are not aware of it now.  

The 3,488 km long line of actual control (LAC) from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh is currently being fully guarded in the border areas of Arunachal Pradesh due to ongoing tension with China. Nevertheless, the Chinese army remains in a clandestine infiltration into the inaccessible areas of the Indian border. The Indian Army has a Sera-7 patrolling on the Indo-Tibetan international border. This place is on the north side of the district headquarter 120 km away from Daporgio. Nacho Village is located about 10 to 12 kms away from patrolling Sera-7. Nacho Village resident Toch Sigwork, Prashant Ringling, Dongtu Ibiya, Tanu Bakar and Garu Diri of the Tagin community used to transport goods to inaccessible areas as porters for the Indian Army. In addition, they also work as guides due to lack of road and mobile networks in the locality.

In the same Indo-Tibetan border area of Arunachal Pradesh, the five youths along with their two other colleagues went to hunt or collect herbs in the jungles of the border area on August 3 and did not return. The brother of one of the missing tribal youths posted on Facebook that the Chinese army has taken away these youths from the Sera-7 patrolling area of the Indian Army on the international border. The villagers then briefed the local administration. A police team was sent to the border area adjoining the McMahon line to probe the abduction of these five missing youths of Arunachal Pradesh. This line separates the upper Subansiri district from Tibet. The administration also apprised the Indian Army.

Union Minister of State for Sports Kiran Rijiju and MLA from East Arunachal Pradesh seat, Noning Ering also took the initiative in the matter. t shirts online , Kiran Rijiju confirmed on Sunday that this is the case in the knowledge of the Government and a message has been sent to China from the Indian side but no response has been received from the Chinese side so far. The area from which this incident took place comes in the parliamentary constituency of Union Minister of State for Sports Kiran Rijiju, so his statement becomes more important. On the message of the Indian Army, the Chinese army is still in a silent way, but the Chinese ministry has conveyed its stand to Arunachal Pradesh.
