BREAKING|China On High Alert After India-Philippines Joint Patrol Escalates South China Sea Tensions [Video]

BREAKING|China On High Alert After India-Philippines Joint Patrol Escalates South China Sea Tensions

China has issued a stark warning after the Philippines and India completed their first-ever joint naval patrol in the disputed South China Sea, reporting “shadowing” vessels and prompting Beijing’s PLA Southern Theatre Command to declare its forces on high alert. The maritime cooperative activity—as three Indian warships operated alongside Philippine frigates near Scarborough Shoal—coincided with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s state visit to New Delhi, signaling a deeper strategic bond between the two democracies. China condemned the move, accusing Manila of “rallying external powers” and asserting that such so-called joint patrols undermine regional peace. Analysts warn India's involvement could reshape the Quad’s maritime posture and provoke tougher Chinese responses. Beijing insists disputes must be settled directly and vows to safeguard its territorial sovereignty. As $3 trillion in trade flows through these waters annually, this flashpoint could mark a significant shift in Indo-Pacific security dynamics. #SouthChinaSea #IndiaPhilippines #PLAAlert #QuadAllies #ScarboroughShoal #MaritimePatrol #BeijingWarning #IndoPacificSecurity #ChinaPhilippines #NavalDrills #StrategicPartnership #HighAlertPLA #Brawner #MarcosInIndia #INSDelhi #NavalShadowing #RegionalTension #PeaceThroughStrength #ChinaSovereignty #TradeRoutes ~ED.194~HT.408~

RUSSIA AND CHINA'S WW3 DRILLS: Putin And Xi Launch Massive Naval Drills After Trump Sends Submarines

Russia and China have launched joint naval drills near Japan in a direct response to former President Trump’s deployment of U.S. nuclear submarines. The “Joint Sea-2025” exercise features advanced anti-submarine warfare, air defense, and missile drills. Four Chinese warships, including guided-missile destroyers, are participating alongside Russian vessels. The display of force comes amid rising U.S.-China tensions and growing alignment between Moscow and Beijing. As Trump boasts of U.S. military strength, his move may have triggered an even bolder alliance challenging American dominance in the Pacific. #ChinaRussiaAlliance #NavalDrills #Trump #NuclearSubmarines #USMilitary #China #Russia #SeaOfJapan #JointSea2025 #MilitaryPower #Geopolitics #TrumpVsWorld #PacificTensions #USChinaRelations #GlobalSecurity #Putin #XiJinping #TrumpNews #WW3Fears #AntiSubmarineWarfare #AirDefense #MissileDrills #NavyStrength #USForeignPolicy #IndoPacific #RussiaUkraineWar #ChinaOilImports #Medevedev #TrumpThreat #StrategicAlliance #GlobalTensions Also Read Asim Munir Misled You, Pakistan Has No Oil Reserves: Baloch Leader's Open Letter To Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/asim-munir-misled-you-pakistan-has-no-oil-reserves-baloch-leaders-open-letter-to-trump-7819311.html?ref=DMDesc Government Reacts To Donald Trump's Statement, Scraps Reports Of Indian Oil Firms Halting Russian Imports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-reacts-to-donald-trumps-statement-scraps-reports-of-indian-oil-firms-halting-russian-im-7818621.html?ref=DMDesc US-Russia Submarine Showdown: Moscow Shrugs Off Trump’s Nuclear Posturing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-russia-submarine-showdown-moscow-shrugs-off-trump-s-nuclear-posturing-7818569.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.408~

VIDEO: Shocking Visuals Emerge From Hong Kong Floods After RARE Black Rainstorm Warning Issued Twice

Torrential rain has brought Hong Kong to a standstill, with the city issuing a rare Black Rainstorm Warning twice in one day. Streets turned into rivers, residents were trapped in buildings, and emergency services were stretched thin. Flash floods swept through Central, Tseung Kwan O, and Pok Fu Lam, echoing the devastating 2023 floods. The Hong Kong Observatory recorded over 70mm of rainfall per hour, fueled by a powerful southwest monsoon and Pearl River disturbances. Officials have opened shelters and issued landslip warnings as the city battles widespread urban flooding. #HongKongFloods #BlackRainstorm #HKWeather #ClimateCrisis #TorrentialRain #UrbanFlooding #ExtremeWeather #FlashFloods #MonsoonSeason #HKObservatory #CentralHK #PokFuLam #TseungKwanO #TaiPo #FloodAlert #Rainstorm #WeatherEmergency #2025Storms #NaturalDisaster #FloodWarning #LandslipWarning #PearlRiver #RainfallRecord #GlobalWarming #EmergencyResponse #ClimateChange #FloodingCrisis #HKDisaster #RainstormChaos #WeatherAlert #HongKongNews Also Read Delhi-Hong Kong Air India Boeing 787 Door Shakes Mid-Flight; Cabin Crew Stuff Napkins To Muffle Noise :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/delhi-hong-kong-air-india-boeing-787-door-shakes-mid-flight-cabin-crew-stuff-napkins-to-muffle-nois-7780259.html?ref=DMDesc Gujarat Floods: Heavy Rains Kill 22 People In 2 Days, Rescue Operation Underway :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/gujarat-floods-heavy-rains-kill-22-people-in-2-days-rescue-operation-underway-4184901.html?ref=DMDesc Mumbai's 'Aqua Line'?

South China Sea BREAKING:Japan Sends Warships To Philippines To ‘Counter’ China’s Growing Aggression [Video]

South China Sea BREAKING:Japan Sends Warships To Philippines To ‘Counter’ China’s Growing Aggression

Japan is set to export six Abukuma-class destroyer escorts to the Philippines in a landmark move aimed at countering China’s growing aggression in the South China Sea. The aging destroyers, in service for over 30 years, will significantly boost the Philippines’ naval capabilities, which currently lack such firepower. Defense ministers from both nations agreed to the deal in Singapore last month. Tokyo will frame the upgrades as a joint development project to bypass Japan’s pacifist export rules. The Philippines will inspect the ships this summer. This strategic partnership comes amid intensifying maritime tensions, as both Tokyo and Manila face growing challenges from Beijing’s territorial claims. The deal marks a new chapter in Asia-Pacific military realignment and is expected to draw a sharp response from China. #JapanPhilippines #SouthChinaSea #ChinaTensions #AbukumaDestroyers #NavalDeal #GeopoliticsAsia #USAllies #JapanDefense #PhilippinesNavy #TokyoManila #MilitaryExports #AntiChinaStrategy #MaritimeSecurity #AsiaSecurity #BeijingAggression #SeaPower #JapanNews #PhilippinesNews #WarshipsTransfer #ChinaExpansion ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.125~

'South China Sea is Ours': China-US 'Dirty' Face-off at UNSC Moments After Trump Announces BIG Deal

Tensions flared at the United Nations Security Council as China’s Permanent Representative, Fu Cong, fired back at the United States over its accusations regarding the South China Sea. In a fiery exchange during the UNSC debate on multilateralism and peaceful dispute resolution, Fu accused Washington of hypocrisy, interference, and fueling instability in the region. While the U.S. criticized China’s actions, Beijing firmly defended its territorial sovereignty and maritime claims, calling the American narrative misleading and dangerous. With both sides trading barbs in front of global representatives, the showdown raises fresh questions about who is truly threatening peace in the Indo-Pacific. #China #SouthChinaSea #UNSC #FuCong #UnitedNations #USChinaTensions #Geopolitics #IndoPacific #TerritorialDispute #GlobalDiplomacy #InternationalRelations #BreakingNews #UNDebate #ChinaVsUS #WorldNews Also Read China's Sonar Shocker: The 20km Sub-Spotter That Could Sink Naval Strategies :: https://www.oneindia.com/feature/chinas-sonar-shocker-the-20km-sub-spotter-that-could-sink-naval-strategies-3940843.html?ref=DMDesc China’s PLA Warns: 'We’ll Crush Foreign Encroachment' In South China Sea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-s-pla-warns-we-ll-crush-foreign-encroachment-in-south-china-sea-011-3932325.html?ref=DMDesc WATCH Video | Standoff At South China Sea: Chinese Coast Guard Attacks Philippine Navy Boats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/watch-video-standoff-at-south-china-sea-chinese-coast-guard-attacks-philippine-navy-boats-3857477.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~PR.274~ED.103~GR.125~
