Global destabilization is afoot. China’s military provocations will surely escalate if President Biden gets a second term.

China and the Philippines Inch Closer to Conflict in the South China Sea
After eight Philippine marines were injured in a melee with Chinese forces this week, some are questioning the response of Manila’s foreign allies.
By The Diplomat, June 19th, 2024
Foreign governments have again condemned China for its “reckless” actions in the South China Sea, following a melee that injured eight Philippine naval personnel, one of them severely.
The incident occurred on Monday, when Chinese vessels successfully blocked a Philippine resupply mission to the Second Thomas Shoal in the Spratly Islands. During the operation, a China Coast Guard (CCG) vessel collided with a Philippine supply ship and Chinese forces boarded several small Philippine boats.
The incident was first reported by the CCG, which, perhaps seeking to get out ahead of the international response, said on Monday that a Philippine supply ship had entered waters near the Second Thomas Shoal in the Spratly Islands. In a statement on the social media platform WeChat, the CCG said the Philippine vessel “ignored China’s repeated solemn warnings … and dangerously approached a Chinese vessel in normal navigation in an unprofessional manner, resulting in a collision.”
