About :
In the South China Sea, the US and China are fighting for hegemony in the Indo-Pacific. In the duel between superpowers, the Philippines has been in a very exposed position. For decades, China has been increasing its military presence in the South China Sea between Taiwan, Indonesia and the Philippines. It occupies atolls and reefs to turn them into military outposts. Especially around the territory of the Philippines. There, resistance to China's expansionist policies is emerging. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is confronting China by turning away from the pro-Beijing policies of his predecessor and turning to his Western partners, above all the United States. Much to China's chagrin. Since then, the situation in the South China Sea has been escalating. More and more incidents are occurring between Philippine and Chinese ships. It is an explosive situation, as Manila and Washington have signed far-reaching reciprocal defence agreements. As in NATO, both countries are obliged to defend each other in the event of an attack. In addition, the US has also secured access to nine Philippine military bases where it can station troops and equipment - some of them just a few hundred kilometres from China and Taiwan. In the event of a war between the US and China, the Philippines would be on the front line. This archipelago is currently a demarcation line in one of the most explosive maritime areas in the world. Will an escalation occur on one of the world's most important trade routes? #dwdocumentary #documentary #china #philippines ـــــ DW Documentary brings you information beyond the headlines.
