“What you're seeing in the Philippines is just one more step in China's effort to tighten its control over all parts of the South China Sea,” says retired U.S. Marine Colonel Grant Newsham, an expert on the Asia-Pacific region and a senior fellow at the Center for Security Policy.

In recent clashes near the submerged reef Second Thomas Shoal, there’s been cases of Chinese vessels ramming Philippine ships, deploying water cannons, and injuring multiple sailors.

In this episode, Mr. Newsham breaks down the Chinese regime’s decadeslong strategy to gain control of the South China Sea, from methodical island building to deploying a combination of Coast Guard, maritime militia, and fishing fleets to harass and intimidate.
