Joe Biden’s administration is trying to start strong in the Indo-Pacific. Within days of taking office, Biden’s team publicly reaffirmed US commitments to three frontline states — Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines — that are facing some of China’s sharpest pressures. The moves began shortly after the Jan. 20 inaugural, when Biden told Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga that that the bilateral defense treaty covers the Senkaku Islands, which Tokyo administers but China claims. The administration subsequently affirmed that the US-Philippines defense treaty applies not just to the main islands of that archipelago, but also to Philippine armed forces and possessions in the South China Sea. China on Friday said it has expelled a US guided missile destroyer from the South China Sea, a day after the same warship passed through the Taiwan Strait.

The US Navy conducted its first “freedom of navigation operation” (FONOP) in the disputed South China Sea on Friday and, a day earlier, its first transit of the Taiwan Strait. During Friday’s operation, the USS John S. McCain destroyer “asserted navigational rights and freedoms” near the Paracel Islands, which are claimed by China, Taiwan and Vietnam, while also “challenging China’s claim to straight baselines” that enclose the Paracels and effectively expand its claimed territorial waters. ________________________________________________ © Copyright 2020 US Military Post.
