President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. summoned China\u2019s ambassador to Manila and later said the Philippine military has shifted its focus from fighting Muslim and communist insurgents and other internal threats to external defense amid long-seething South China Sea territorial disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019d like to emphasize that the best way to address Chinese \u2018gray zone\u2019 activities in the West Philippine Sea is to expose it,\u201d coast guard Commodore Jay Tarriela said, referring to China\u2019s use of ostensibly civilian fishing and research vessels to perform military tasks to avoid a military response from rival claimant states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tarriela used the Philippine name for the stretch of the South China Sea close to its western coast. He spoke at a Manila forum about China\u2019s \u201cgray zone\u201d operations in the disputed sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Philippine coast guard\u2019s role as a mouthpiece against Chinese aggression \u201callows like-minded states to express condemnation and reproach which puts Beijing in a spotlight,\u201d he said. \u201cChinese actions in the shadows are now checked, which also forced them to come out in the open or to publicly lie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tarriela said Manila\u2019s outrage over the laser-pointing incident prompted China, including its ambassador to Manila, to explain its position when asked about the incident at news conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese officials said the Philippine patrol vessel trespassed into Chinese territory and that the Chinese coast guard acted \u201cprofessionally and with restraint\u201d and used a harmless laser to track the Philippine boat\u2019s movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By making public unedited coast guard videos and photographs of such Chinese actions, \u201cwe can once again reshape public opinion to weigh things objectively based on facts and not just propaganda,\u201d Tarriela said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. State Department reacted to the incident by saying that China\u2019s \u201cdangerous operational behavior directly threatens regional peace and stability\u201d and \u201cundermines the rules-based international order.\u201d It renewed a warning that it would defend the Philippines, a treaty ally, if Filipino forces, aircraft and ships come under attack in the South China Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raymond Powell, a retired U.S. Air Force colonel who has studied China\u2019s strategies, praised the Philippine coast guard\u2019s efforts to publicize China\u2019s actions in the South China Sea but warned that the Philippine government would come under Chinese pressure to \u201cstop making so much trouble, stop releasing things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China claims virtually all of the South China Sea, putting it on a collision course with other claimants such as the Philippines, Vietnam and Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite friendly overtures to Beijing by former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and his successor, Marcos Jr., who visited Beijing and met President Xi Jinping in January, tensions have persisted, resulting in a strengthening of the military alliance between the Philippines and the U.S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Philippine official says the country&#8217;s coast guard has launched a strategy of
