These comments come three weeks after the Chinese Coast Guard used water cannons against Philippine vessels which attempted to resupply a warship grounded on a contested South China Sea shoal in 1999.

The Vice Admiral said, “My forces are out here for a reason”, and also cited the “shared challenges” faced by the U.S. and its ally, the Philippines.

Chinese officials responded to Vice Admiral Thomas’s comments by warning that the choice of the Philippines to cooperate more closely with the U.S. would tie the country to “the chariot of geopolitical strife” that China claims is threatening its national security.
