US takes part in joint anti-submarine drills in South China Sea
241The United States, Japan, Australia and the Philippines have staged a series of joint anti-submarine drills in the South China Sea - prompting a quick response from Beijing.
The joint maritime exercise was held in the Philippines' exclusive economic zone, which immediately led China to launch a naval and air patrol of its own.
The Manila Times newspaper said the drills featured a range of communication exercises and strategic manoeuvres aimed at strengthening regional and international cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region.
