U.S. and Philippine fighter aircraft have staged a joint patrol and training over a disputed South China Sea shoal where Chinese fighter jets fired flares last year to drive away a Philippine aircraft.

    Wow I’m so glad that brainwashed teens in billion dollar boats/planes are invading the China Sea. Truly brave heroes. \s

      Aside from China and the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan have overlapping territorial claims in the busy sea passage.

      Now I don’t have in-depth knowledge about this particular dispute, but to say the US is invading the China sea seems dishonest to say the least. As far as I can understand it seems they’re honoring a defence agreement after the Philippines military aircraft were fired flares upon, in what they consider their territory.

      If you do have unbiased sources saying the US and the Philippines are invading Chinese territory, please share it
