Japan’s historic visit to Cambodia’s Chinese-renovated Ream Naval Base has sparked concern in Washington. The port call by two Japanese warships marks the first docking at the base, which has raised questions about Beijing’s growing influence in Southeast Asia. Despite assurances from Cambodia that the base is open to all nations, the U.S. has expressed fears over China's expanding strategic foothold in the Gulf of Thailand, a region near the disputed South China Sea. As tensions rise between global powers, this move signals a significant shift in the region’s military and diplomatic dynamics. Watch to understand why this event is creating waves in international relations.

Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Malaysia marks a pivotal moment in Beijing’s bid to outmaneuver the U.S. in Southeast Asia. With Trump-era tariffs souring Washington's trade ties, Xi aims to convince Malaysia and ASEAN that China is the region’s best long-term partner. Touting deepened strategic ties, tech cooperation, and economic integration, Xi’s charm offensive leans into BRICS, RCEP, and de-dollarization plans. As Malaysia looks East, Beijing is pushing hard to anchor a new global order that trades in renminbi—and trades away American dominance.

As the U.S. slaps 145% tariffs on Chinese goods, President Xi Jinping touches down in Hanoi — and the world takes notice. In a high-stakes diplomatic mission, Xi kicks off his Southeast Asia tour by strengthening economic and strategic ties with Vietnam. With 40 potential deals on the table — from supply chains and rail infrastructure to artificial intelligence and aviation — China and Vietnam are signaling a major shift in regional dynamics. Meanwhile, Vietnam walks a delicate line: negotiating tariff relief from Washington while tightening controls on Chinese goods to avoid rule-of-origin fraud. Is Vietnam aligning with Beijing, or playing both sides in a new global power game? This video unpacks the trade tensions, diplomatic signals, and what Xi's visit could mean for the balance of power in Asia — and beyond.

Australia has deployed its warship, HMAS Sydney, to the South China Sea as part of a three-month Indo-Pacific mission, further escalating tensions in the region. This move follows a series of provocative actions, including China’s naval circumnavigation of Australia earlier this year and a recent unsafe interception of an Australian patrol aircraft by Chinese fighter jets. The Australian Defense Department maintains that its operations align with international law and uphold the principles of a free and open Indo-Pacific. The deployment comes after Australia’s participation in joint military drills with the U.S. and the Philippines, signaling a strong commitment to regional security.

A top Philippine general has issued a stark warning over China's aggressive actions in the South China Sea, calling Beijing's claims "illegal and coercive." Brigadier General Logico criticized China’s expanding control near Philippine waters as U.S., Philippine, and Australian forces launch massive joint military drills. With 14,000 troops and international observers involved, the Balikatan exercises underscore a growing alliance. For the first time, the U.S. deployed deadly NMESIS missile systems near Taiwan, intensifying regional tension. As military presence escalates, calls for global attention to China's maritime behavior grow louder.

The BRP Miguel Malvar, an 80-year-old World War II ship, sank unexpectedly before it could be used as a live-fire target in the U.S.-Philippine Balikatan drills. Originally set to be sunk off Zambales, rough seas and the vessel's age caused it to go under prematurely. The Malvar held historical value as a former U.S. Navy ship that once hunted Japanese submarines. Although the target drill was canceled, joint military exercises continued near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, highlighting growing U.S.-Philippine cooperation in deterring China's presence in the South China Sea.
