Indian warships reach Manila as part of deployment to South China Sea
Monday, 20 May 2024 Guided-missile destroyer INS Delhi, fleet tanker INS Shakti and anti-submarine warfare corvette INS Kiltan, under the command of Eastern Fleet chief Rear Admiral Rajesh Dhankhar, docked at Manila on Sunday after similar goodwill visits to Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam in the region. The visit comes soon after India began deliveries of three anti-ship coastal batteries of the 290-km BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles to the Philippines last month.
Japan’s historic visit to Cambodia’s Chinese-renovated Ream Naval Base has sparked concern in Washington. The port call by two Japanese warships marks the first docking at the base, which has raised questions about Beijing’s growing influence in Southeast Asia. Despite assurances from Cambodia that the base is open to all nations, the U.S. has expressed fears over China's expanding strategic foothold in the Gulf of Thailand, a region near the disputed South China Sea. As tensions rise between global powers, this move signals a significant shift in the region’s military and diplomatic dynamics. Watch to understand why this event is creating waves in international relations.

Duterte reportedly sought asylum in China amid fears of an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest. China has denied media reports that former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte sought asylum in the country before his arrest on March 11, 2025. Beijing's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, stated that neither Duterte nor his family submitted an asylum request. Duterte was detained in Manila following an ICC warrant for crimes against humanity related to his controversial war on drugs, which led to thousands of extrajudicial killings.

Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong issued a grave warning on the global repercussions of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff escalation. In a video address, Wong expressed concern that trade wars could escalate into full-blown armed conflicts if unchecked. He confirmed that Singapore has been directly impacted by a 10% tariff imposed by Washington on its exports. The move, part of Trump’s wider “America First” economic retaliation strategy, is drawing concern from trade-reliant nations across Asia. Wong urged global leaders to act fast to protect multilateral trade and peace.

Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Malaysia marks a pivotal moment in Beijing’s bid to outmaneuver the U.S. in Southeast Asia. With Trump-era tariffs souring Washington's trade ties, Xi aims to convince Malaysia and ASEAN that China is the region’s best long-term partner. Touting deepened strategic ties, tech cooperation, and economic integration, Xi’s charm offensive leans into BRICS, RCEP, and de-dollarization plans. As Malaysia looks East, Beijing is pushing hard to anchor a new global order that trades in renminbi—and trades away American dominance.

As Donald Trump hikes tariffs on Chinese goods to an unprecedented 145%, China appears to be outmaneuvering Washington through clever supply chain rerouting. Chinese exports are increasingly flowing through countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia to dodge U.S. tariffs — raising concerns about global trade transparency. Meanwhile, Vietnam records $18.5 billion in net FDI, some of which may be due to this strategic redirection. Trump has vowed more tariff hikes, while Beijing threatens to retaliate, placing ASEAN economies at risk and pushing the global trade system into chaos.

Retired Supreme Court Justice Adolfo Azcuna told senators that former President Duterte's arrest and surrender to the ICC may have bypassed a critical legal step—court presentation under Philippine law. Azcuna warned the missing procedure could be seen as “abuse of process” by the ICC and called on the Supreme Court to determine its legality. He raised concerns of “extrajudicial rendition,” urging a review ahead of the ICC’s pretrial in September 2025. Duterte faces charges over drug war killings linked to 43 murders, and risks life imprisonment if convicted.
