“US-China Tensions Spill over into South China Sea” by Ian Storey

 

2018/92, 11 October 2018

China’s more robust response to America’s most recent freedom of navigation operation (FONOP) in the Spratly Islands is a clear demonstration of how the intensification of Sino-US rivalry is increasingly being played out in the heart of maritime Southeast Asia.
Over recent months, it has become clear that US President Donald Trump has decided to follow through on his campaign promise to get tough with China on a range of economic, political and strategic issues. His administration has sparked a trade war with China by imposing tariffs on US$250 billion worth of Chinese imports, placed sanctions on China’s armed forces for buying weapons from Russia, renewed arms sales to Taiwan, and criticized Beijing’s oppressive policies in Xinjiang and Tibet.
