"Philippines' New U.S. Military Bases Spark Tensions with China"

The Philippines has identified four new military camps, including some across the sea from Taiwan, where rotating batches of American forces will be allowed to be stationed indefinitely despite strong objections from China. The move is part of the Biden administration's efforts to strengthen military alliances in the Indo-Pacific to better counter China, including in any future confrontation over Taiwan. The new sites identified by the Philippines include a Philippine navy base in Santa Ana and an international airport in Lal-lo, both in the northern province of Cagayan.
