Philippines Sets Up Threat Surveillance Post To Counter China's "Military Build Up" Near Taiwan

The Philippines has opened a coast guard station in the country's far north to boost security following China's "military build-up" near Taiwan. The outpost "shall gather essential maritime data and intelligence, enabling the Philippine Coast Guard to respond effectively to threats.” The Philippine official cited Beijing’s alleged “military buildup” in the Luzon Strait and presence of China-flagged research and survey vessels. The timing of the station’s inauguration coincided with China’s sweeping “punishment” drills around Taiwan. Meanwhile, the Philippines has said it will press efforts to build security alliances and stage realistic combat drills with the US, Japan and Australia in disputed waters.
