Row with China a 'reawakening' for Philippine defence
By Nikko Dizon in Manila/Philippine Daily Inquirer | Asia News Network – 7 hours ago
Full Article Here

Manila (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) - The escalating conflict in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) has brought some good learning opportunities for the Philippines-from revisiting the country's defence policies to introducing the public to a weighty concept called "national security," security experts said.

"Our reawakening always starts with a conflict. We have to thank China because its recent movements and strategies in the West Philippine Sea have made us look at our defence policies anew," said Chester Cabalza, a National Defence College of the Philippines professor.


Looking at the Philippines' defence policies anew is good. Doing it is so much better. :salute:

The DFA said it wants Beijing to "immediately clarify its reported plans to interdict ships that enter what it considers its territory in the South China Sea." It said the Philippines was concerned that ships entering waters claimed by China, which is "virtually the entire South China Sea… can be boarded, inspected, detained, confiscated, immobilized and expelled, among other punitive actions."

Chinks will be very busy and overwhelm if they will do this move as there are so many vessels to check.. Maybe they will be selective and just choose those that has conflict like us.. cr**y chinks... :fire:

if China is very selective then no.1 targets would be ships coming from and going to Philippines would be there priority.... China will act like the Israel Navy did towards any shipping going to Gaza.

If China woulld find out that the cargo is intended for Military then they would seize it for the reason that it would their claim to the WPS if Philippines will have a strong military capability...

I think its just a hoax. China can not board and search the ships in international shipping lanes. No matter what China say SCS is a part of intl shipping lanes. Lets see if they have guts to search US, Japanese or Indian ships which are quite frequent in that area. There will be consequences for China. Chinese ships also roam around the globe, retribution will be swift in such case.

Indian Navy will intervene in South China sea, if required

New Delhi: The Indian Navy is practicing to operate in the South China Sea to protect its economic assets.

Speaking to reporters in New Delhi Admiral D K Joshi told reporters that "Where our country's interests are involved, we will protect them and we will intervene."

The Eastern Naval Command - which looks at India's eastern sea board and likely to play a key role when the Navy is deployed in South China Sea- is also being strengthened.

The decision to use the Navy in the South China Sea comes days after Chinese state media announced that the southern Hainan province, which administers the South China Sea, approved laws giving its police the right to search vessels that pass through the waters. Also Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan and India protested a map on a new Chinese passport that depicts disputed areas as belonging to China. The Philippines also issued a statement saying it wants Beijing to "clarify its reported plans to interdict ships that enter what it considers its territory in the South China Sea," the Associated Press reported over the weekend.

The decision to prepare to intervene in the South China Sea indicates a huge shift in India's Maritime strategy. Previously, India had consistently maintained that Navy's area focus was the vast expanse of sea that lay between the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf and the Straits of Malacca in the East.

Huge step indeed for India, but not surprising since Indian-registered and Indian commerce also ply the WPS/SCS.

China could reap more than it sow and not for the better.
To avoid criticism, write nothing, say nothing, do nothing, BE NOTHING.

Let China make the first move and will see how will they react if the US, vietnam and indian navy interfere. And after "if" we got those Italian ships will see what our navy will do when chinese boarded ships in our territory.

Philippines-India relationship is a curious case for me. China is upping the ante getting bolder day by day and we both are on the receiving end. Still no cooperation!!! India is cooperating with a communist state like Vietnam to counter china but democracies like Phils and India which share so many common values still ignoring each other :dunno:

The changing of Chinese leadership is merely a formality in most cases and in changes in strategic direction are unlikely to be unilaterally initiated by a single leadership personality. Significant changes occur with the consensus of the collective whole. If you are "hoping" that China will behave after a change n leadership you will likely be fooled by their machinations.

I have noted that with many countries, even if you change the leadership personalities, the nation will still usually pursue whatever strategic agenda was set in motion. The way they go about getting to that point may change but the end result is still usually the same.
