Because you’re losing the competitive advantage in SC sea, you forgot how aggressive the US navy was at the same region for decades. China is just learning & barely catching up with the US navy’s past behavior which the US is still doing against Venezuela. Hypocrite!

The more Washington talks about “regional cooperation,” the more it sounds like outsourcing containment of China.

It’s necessary for all Caribbean & S. American nations to strengthen cooperation in maritime surveillance to counter American unilateral & illegal aggression by Washington. Maybe the world should do the same against D.C.

Tensions in the South China Sea are escalating, and using unmanned technologies for maritime surveillance could be key in maintaining regional security.
Replying to @business
Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth urged Southeast Asian nations to boost maritime cooperation — including using drones and other unmanned tech — to counter Beijing’s growing aggression in the South China Sea. A clear signal: the U.S. wants tighter regional defense ties as tensions rise at sea.

And where should they buy this? As US technology isn’t trustworthy anymore, maybe in China? Or Europe. That could get interesting…

There's an old saying that goes like this: "Don't start something you can't finish." You'll be surprised when circumstances force everyone to decide where they stand.

I said it before that you need your allies in Southeast Asia to counter China but you worsen the relations with big ally India and you expect them to by your side,sorry but Donald just want short term benefit,without India you don’t expect to counter China in indo-pacific

“Worsening”? Rather, even though the issue is decades in the making, it’s higher tides for PRC to go rampant, and rather, Pistol Pete as Trump’s tool du jour, is signaling that these countries are on their own.

If US thinks that ASEAN will counter China in SCS then US is totally out of touch. China is the biggest trading partner for almost all of the ASEAN members. Moreover ALL of ASEAN military capabilities are no match to China.
