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.

Cambodia has closed its airspace over regions bordering Thailand following intense military clashes, citing a major threat to commercial aviation from heavy weapons. The country’s State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) has instructed airlines to reroute flights away from the danger zone, especially between Siem Reap and Pailin, where Thai military operations have intensified. While international flights are not canceled, rerouted paths now avoid potentially volatile skies. SSCA spokesperson Sin Jansriwuttha highlighted risks posed by Thailand’s military escalation, warning that further restrictions could be enforced if conflict intensifies.
The airspace ban impacts key flight corridors from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, including routes from Thailand, China, and the Philippines. Cambodian authorities emphasize this is a preemptive safety measure based on lessons from global conflict zones, assuring that air travel remains operational—just more cautious. The situation remains fluid with potential for more stringent aviation controls.

North Korea is openly warning the U.S. to recognize it as a nuclear power or abandon hopes of future diplomacy. Backed by Russia, Pyongyang says denuclearization is off the table and that Washington’s expectations are outdated. Kim Jong Un’s sister mocked U.S. efforts and insisted the “2025 reality” demands a new approach. Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov supported North Korea’s stance, citing self-defense. With alliances forming and rhetoric intensifying, the DPRK declares its nuclear status non-negotiable—placing future talks in deep uncertainty.

In a dramatic geopolitical shift, Russia has withdrawn from a long-standing military cooperation agreement with Germany, originally signed in 1996. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin's move follows a cascade of sanctions from Western allies and Germany’s support for Ukraine. Russia's Foreign Ministry labeled Berlin's stance as "openly hostile" and accused Germany of pursuing aggressive militaristic policies.
The collapse of this bilateral framework underscores Moscow's pivot toward nations like North Korea, Iran, and China. In recent weeks, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un—who pledged unconditional support for Russia’s war—and Iranian officials during the BRICS summit. Meanwhile, President Putin hinted at retaliatory arming of regions to strike Western targets. As the West distances itself from Moscow, Russia deepens its ties with fellow sanctioned states, signaling a bold new strategic alignment.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has touched down in China following his highly symbolic visit to North Korea, where he met Kim Jong‑un and was honored in Wonsan. His arrival in Beijing signals Moscow's deepening engagement ahead of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation foreign ministers' meeting. This gathering sets the stage for the high‑stakes SCO summit in Tianjin from August 30 to September 1.
Lavrov’s diplomatic blitz—linking Pyongyang and Beijing—underscores a reshaping of regional power dynamics, with Moscow pressing a message of unity among China, Russia, and North Korea. Watch for potentially critical alignments on security, economic initiatives, and strategic counterweights to Western influence. As Beijing hosts this heavyweight meeting, all eyes are on whether the trio will present a collective front that could recalibrate regional geopolitics.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming visit to the Maldives isn’t just a diplomatic gesture — it’s a strategic message to the Indo-Pacific. As Maldives marks its 60th Independence Day, Modi becomes the first foreign leader to visit since President Mohamed Muizzu took office — a leader who once led the ‘India Out’ campaign. But today, the narrative has shifted.

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.
