Philippine Batanes Islands Has become The New US Naval Base to prevent China from invading Taiwan

The US is in talks to establish a civilian port in the Batanes Islands, Philippines, intensifying its defense cooperation with Manila. This move comes amid China's growing threat to Taiwan and after a recent incident where the China Coast Guard harassed Philippine vessels. The port's proposed location in Basco Island will bolster both US and Philippine defense and monitoring capabilities. As this port is only 200 km from Taiwan, it's seen by Beijing as a strategic move by the US to counter China's ambitions in the region, potentially serving as a support point in a Taiwan confrontation. While the US adheres to the One China policy, it has strong ties with Taiwan through military aid. This increased American presence in the region, especially near strategic choke points like Batanes, is reshaping the geopolitical landscape and potentially countering China's dominance in the Indo-Pacific.
