Philippine President’s order to strengthen maritime security

America seeks to create coalitions and alliances in East Asia with different countries to implement containment policy against China. The Philippines is one of these countries.

According to the Reuters news agency, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos announced today (Sunday) that he has ordered the strengthening of maritime security in order to deal with a wide range of serious challenges against the territorial integrity and peace of the Philippines.

This order states: Despite all efforts to promote stability and security in our maritime domain, the Philippines continues to face extensive security challenges that threaten our territorial integrity and the peaceful existence of the Philippines.

This order is issued at the same time as maritime tensions with Beijing escalate in the South China Sea. China has not been mentioned in this order, the contents of which have been published recently, but the two sides have seen confrontations and tensions in the South China Sea many times in recent months, so that Beijing has repeatedly warned Manila about the escalation of tensions in this sea.

China claims ownership over a large part of the South China Sea, which has been opposed by neighboring countries. Since America does not understand China’s hegemony in East Asia, it is not willing to accept Beijing’s dominance over this vast international sea.

The President of the Philippines promised on Thursday to confront any illegal, coercive, coercive, and dangerous actions by the Chinese Coast Guard.
