The Significance of a Revived US-Philippines Relationship in Gathering Storm of the South China Sea
Channel: Future in Review
Date: 2023-04-06

Join Barrett Anderson, the CEO of Future Interview, as he engages in a riveting discussion with Scott Foster, the editor of our quarterly Asia letter and the author of the week's Global report. This podcast episode delves into the strategic significance of the Philippines in the context of the South China Sea and the broader East Asia region.

Foster provides an in-depth analysis of the Philippines' strategic position, its rapidly growing economy, and the resurgence of U.S. military presence in response to China's assertiveness. He also sheds light on the concept of the first and second Island chains, regarded as the primary lines of defense or containment in the Western Pacific. The conversation further explores the current economic and military situation in the Philippines under its new president, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., and the country's response to China's encroachment on its exclusive economic zone.

The episode concludes with a discussion on China's controversial nine-dash line claim in the South China Sea, which has led to regional tensions. Foster suggests that the strengthened U.S.-Philippines relationship and increased military cooperation could serve as a deterrent to China's assertiveness. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the power dynamics in East Asia.
