Pekin testuje Trumpa na Filipinach

Chiny zajeły kolejną wysepkę na Morzu Południowochińskim. Na dzisiaj nie wygląda, aby Chińczycy szykowali się do jej stałej okupacji. Zwłaszcza, że już mają w okolicy bazę na rafie Subi. Strategicznie i taktycznie cała operacja nie ma większego sensu, ale politycznie Pekin wysyła nią szereg sygnałów.

Nowy prezydent Ferdinanda Marcosa Jr. zdecydował się na odnowienie sojuszu z Amerykanami na tle rosnących napięć z ChRL na Morzu Południowochińskim. Otworzył porty dla amerykańskiej marynarki wojennej i zwiększa wydatki na obronę, a teraz wznowione na duża skalę ćwiczenia mają podkreślić poprawę więzi z Waszyngtonem.
