The Philippines, United States, Australia, and Canada held air and naval maneuvers on Wednesday, August 7 in what they said was a show of force to promote the rule of law in the disputed South China Sea, where China has increasingly asserted its territorial claims.
In an apparent response, China said it conducted air and sea combat patrols on the same day.
Adm. Samuel Paparo, who heads the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, and top military and defense commanders from the Philippines, Australia, and Canada said in a joint statement that they “stand together to address common maritime challenges and underscore our shared dedication to upholding international law and the rules-based order.”
