US, Australia Builds Up Defense In South China Sea

While other countries mull and worry over the Syrian conflict, another war is brewing in the South China Sea. According to reports, the United States and Australia are looking to beef defenses in the region in light of China’s continued militarization.

US has been concerned over Beijing’s military buildup in the South China sea that it may be increasing its freedom-of-navigation operations in the region. “We will be doing them more, and we’ll be doing them with greater complexity in the future and … we’ll fly, sail and operate wherever international law allows,” The Guardian quoted Admiral Harry Harris, the head of the US Navy’s Pacific Command, during the hearing of the House of Representatives armed services committee.
