The Chinese military announced recent drills, including live-fire exercises in waters east of Luzon Island, as over 17,000 troops from US, Philippines, and allies commenced annual Balikatan military exercises. This move comes against the backdrop of heightened tensions due to China’s increased assertiveness in the South China Sea.

First-Time Involvement of Japanese Troops
