The United States, Australia, Japan and the Philippines will hold joint naval and air drills in the disputed South China Sea on 7April, their defence chiefs said in a statement, as they deepen ties to counter China's growing assertiveness in the region.
The joint naval drills involving the Philippines, US, Australia, and Japan in the South China Sea aim to counter China's expanding influence in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in the disputed waters.
China's claim to 90% of the South China Sea, based on the U-shaped nine-dash line drawn on maps in the 1940s, has been rejected by the United States, Australia, and several Southeast Asian countries, sparking tensions over maritime sovereignty in the region.
