Clash in the South China Sea: Philippines Strengthening Itself Against China |

Despite Hague Tribunal’s ruling invalidating China’s “9-dash line” territorial claim, the CCP government continues to encroach upon the sovereignty of neighboring countries in the South China Sea, with the Philippines being at the forefront of maritime incursions. Filipino fishers have experienced the direct impact of the political clash, with their livelihood threatened by the increasingly aggressive actions of Chinese Coast Guard. In addition to economic harm, the Philippines and its allies face strategic threat as China aims to take control of Bashi Channel, a choke point containing Chinese expansionism beyond the First Island Chain. How is the Philippines responding to these challenges and what are the geopolitical stakes on the table? Learn more about this pressing matter on this episode of Operation 2027.
