STRONG SHOW OF SUPPORT

US Vice President Kamala Harris flies to Palawan, a western Philippines island province at the edge of the South China Sea on Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2022, to amplify America’s support to its treaty ally and underline US interest in freedom of navigation in the disputed waters, where it has repeatedly chastised China for belligerent actions. A new confrontation erupted in the contested waterway ahead of her visit when the Philippine navy alleged a Chinese coast guard vessel had forcibly seized Chinese rocket debris as Filipino sailors were towing it to their island. The long-seething territorial conflicts involving China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei have long been regarded as an Asian flashpoint and a delicate fault line in the US-China rivalry in the region.
