Now America is preparing to give a befitting reply to this. America has started the biggest military exercise ever with the Philippines. More than 17 thousand soldiers of both the countries are participating in this. During this, a live fire drill will also be done on an old ship in the South China Sea. America had earlier sent its warship from the South China Sea. The exercise has been named Baliktan in which 12,200 American soldiers and 5,400 soldiers from the Philippines will participate.

The US military said that such an activity would enhance the ability of US and Philippines forces to work together in various military operations. This American military exercise is going to happen at a time when China has practiced around Taiwan for 3 days. Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing Wen has called it a threat to regional security and Japan has said it is intimidating. China’s pressure on the Philippines has increased significantly in recent times, which claims the entire South China Sea as its own.
Earlier in February, the Philippines had said that Chinese Coast Guard personnel were using ‘military grade laser’ against its marines. These marines went to Thomas Shoal, an island in the South China Sea. During this, China’s Coastguard attacked with laser weapon. The Philippines said the island was in its exclusive economic zone. The Philippines has recently approved the construction of 4 American bases in its country amid China’s growing assertiveness. China is badly infuriated by this.
