Yeah, it's really heating up over there. China is being very aggressive in asserting domination over the region. They have been ramming Filipino boats, and using water cannons on them. The Philippines hasn't really asked for our help yet, but we are bound by treaty to provide it if requested.

China has rejected the international court's decision that China does not own most of the South China Sea, and they are hopping mad that we continue to conduct freedom of navigation missions in the area. They are also in conflict (to a lesser extent) with Vietnam, and of course Taiwan is still a major problem.

I predict that shots will be fired before this is over.
