Is US access to more Philippine bases a warning for China, N.Korea? | Explainer | Oneindia News
The growing confrontation between USA, North Korea and China is not a secret for anybody.
Both nations have lately been involved in several showdowns…especially in the Indo-Pacific region…and around South China sea.
In order to counter Chinese and North Korean threats, USA is expanding its footprints in these region.
And the Chinese and the North Koreans have not taken this lightly…at all !
Several veiled threats have been issued by the Chinese and North Korea in one form or the other.
And less than 24 hours back, the US Secretary of State… Antony Blinken…postponed his upcoming trip to Beijing after the US detected a Chinese surveillance balloon lingering at high altitude over sensitive nuclear sites in Montana.
Antony Blinken was set to have meetings in Beijing early next week.
This would have been the first such visit by a top US diplomat in five years.
But the presence of the balloon — which the Pentagon decided not to shoot down — led officials to decide that going now would send the wrong signal.
In this video, we explain to you the growing presence of the USA in the Indo-Pacific region...as well as decoding how these steps are aimed at countering China and North Korea.

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.

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.

The US Navy's USS Nimitz is also active in the region. Beijing warned that any military collusion targeting China’s interests will face consequences. With 9,000 US and 5,000 Filipino troops participating, tensions in the South China Sea are at a boiling point, signaling a potential confrontation in the Taiwan Strait corridor.

Tensions are escalating in the Asia-Pacific as China slams the U.S.-Philippines joint military drills near Taiwan. The 2025 Balikatan exercises involve over 14,000 troops and simulated island defenses — moves Beijing says threaten regional peace. Chinese officials accuse the Philippines of colluding with foreign powers and warn the drills will disrupt stability and economic growth. As Australia, Japan, and others join or observe the war games, China warns: “Those who play with fire will get burned.” The Luzon Strait — near Taiwan — is now the center of global attention.

In a bold move, India has fiercely criticized China’s state-run media, Global Times, for spreading disinformation regarding the Indian Air Force’s Operation Sindoor. The Indian Embassy in Beijing called out the media outlet for using outdated images of IAF crashes to mislead the public, claiming they were from the May 7 strikes. India’s fact-checking agencies promptly debunked these visuals as doctored propaganda.

China’s newest warship Qinzhou has completed a dramatic live-fire drill just days after joining the PLA Navy’s Southern Theater Command. The stealth frigate Type 054B, hull number 555, was seen in state media footage sinking a target using its main gun and close-in weapon system. This marks Beijing’s bold push to expand naval dominance in disputed waters. As tensions rise, military analysts say the ship’s firepower and far-seas capabilities fit China’s long-term strategy to control critical trade routes and deter rivals in the South China Sea.
