Tensions are rising between China and the Philippines over control of the South China Sea, which Beijing sees as its territory, and Manila as its exclusive economic zone. On GZERO World with Ian Bremmer, US Ambassador Nick Burns explained the US position that it is concerned about China’s aggression in the South China Sea, particularly at Second Thomas Shoal, a submerged reef where Manila deliberately beached a ship in 1999 and has used as a military outpost ever since.
“China should not seek to coerce or intimidate the government of the Philippines at Second Thomas Shoal,” Burns stresses, “The Philippines has an absolute right to resupply their forces.”
Burns emphasizes broad international support for the Philippines’ rights in the area, referencing the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty between Washington and Manila. Tensions in the region have escalated sharply since Chinese and Philippine coast guard vessels collided in early March, injuring four Filipino crew members. Burns says China needs to act responsibly and commit to a peaceful resolution on the issue.

Any one who assumes or says a future conflict will be between america and china is misrepresenting the situation given the PRC’s initial provocations against Manila and Taipei
the PRC bullies & intimidates those they think will roll-over. One problem with that: they have lost all their allies (except maybe 2-3 other similarly despotic, pariah regimes), while the PH is strengthening allies at every turn.
Culture DOES make a difference, we are seeing. Trust-based societies > *.
It sounds like this diplomatic effort has no teeth. There need to be actual consequences for China, such as reduced trade, if we want to see a change in their behavior. Bullying isn't something you just do, it's who you are.
limiting the number of people-to-people exchanges like shutting down their embassies or denying visas for their students would be a helpful first start
@@PlaYer--sn5oryou want empty shelves in your Wal mart like COVID time everyone raced to buy toilet paper?. Stop your loser mentality ok? Overcapacity crap jargon mercantilism
China is very dependent on international trade. It could not withstand an economic sanction, trade embargo & isolation from global financial markets that was put on Russia.
It just not fair!!!!!…Every countries round the world go out of their way “ using their precious resources “ to help the Phillipine defend their EZZ..No single country or individual help US CCP steal and polute ASEAN EZZ … it just fair!!!
Abusive China got that habit from its western and Japanese colonizers. But of course, China, as an economic leader, should know better now.
When you repeat a lie enough, idiots that believing its the truth
HAMAS ❤USA
Who coercing who? US warships going 6,000 miles to China’s East Coast strutting their stuff!
If there is no harassing and bullying this would not be happen.
@@Julian0l0ll00 it was already happening long before the heated CN-PH conflict . you doofus
Ok. So only the USA can coarse and intimidate… unbelievable hypocrisy!
How US intimidate who? China is occupier and they claim many territories and Southeast Asian sea.
China is the hypocrite. Its claiming many territories and seas and has many despute with many countries like the Philippines, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, India.
So you’re logic is that not only should the US coerce, China and other countries should coerce. What unbelievable nonsense.
Scs belongs to china and Taiwan territory since 1947 unopposed by all countries inc usa past administration.
So don't Bullshit here that its not chinas territory.
Its Philippines that should act responsibly.
2016 ruling is binding
china claims is different from who owns the right and is recognized under international LAW! if the international community allows china to what it wants, tomorrow CHINA WILL CLAIM TO OWN THE SUN! No country recognizes CHINA's claim only chinese believes that garbage.
It's simple no country recognizes chinas claim. You will be removed china Owns NOTHING. Get out of Phillipine area.
Dash line is not recognized by any country. Get out of Phillipine area. It's not bullshit it is FACT.
