Kamala Harris To Visit Front-line Philippine Island In South China Sea Feud

with a visit that started Sunday and involves flying to an island province facing the disputed South China Sea, where Washington has accused China of bullying smaller claimant nations.in Thailand, Harris flew Sunday night to a red-carpet welcome in Manila. On Monday, she meets President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for talks aimed at reinforcing Washington’s oldest treaty alliance in Asia and strengthening economic ties, said a senior U.S.

On Tuesday she’ll fly to Palawan province, which lies along the South China Sea, to meet fishermen, villagers, officials and the coast guard. Once there, she’ll be the highest-ranking U.S. leader to visit the frontier island at the forefront of the long-seething territorial disputes involving China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan.

Philippine Ambassador to Washington Jose Manuel Romualdez said Harris’s trip to Palawan shows the level of America’s support to an ally and concern over China’s actions in the disputed sea. China has rejected the 2016 decision by an arbitration tribunal set up in The Hague under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea after the Philippine government complained in 2013 about China’s increasingly aggressive actions in the disputed waters. Beijing did not participate in the arbitration, rejected its ruling as a sham and continues to defy it.under Marcos Jr., who took office in June after a landslide electoral victory.

Philippine military chief of staff Lt. Gen. Bartolome Bacarro said last week that the U.S. wanted to construct military facilities in five more areas in the northern Philippines under a 2014 defense cooperation pact, which allows American forces to build warehouses and temporary living quarters within Philippine military camps.

If she does as good of a job as she did at the US southern border, the Philippines are screwed.

Nope, she's here on vacation purposes especially that the US dollar is stronger and can buy anything in Asia Pacific. Palawan is a lovely place to unwind and get rid of those stress eye bags. Come visit us in the Philippines, spend your dollar and help our economy.

Oh, the Leni Robredo of the US is visiting daw haha 🤣 you can just talk to the former VP who is currently in the US right now. Tapos saka kaya magbolahan 🤣🤣🤣

She's anxious to meet Philip while she's there.

Riiiiiiight. It's little more than a vacation for our worst VP ever.

This is honestly the first piece of news i have ever read about her since becoming VP. Congrats to her for making the news !!

Proxy war merchants.

We are repairing our relationships that tRUMP destroyed. 💙🇺🇲

Good!
