The Biden administration has upheld a Trump-era rejection of nearly all of China's major maritime claims in the South China Sea. The administration also warned China that any attack on the Philippines would draw a U.S. response under a defense treaty.
President Joe Biden waves as he walks from Marine One across the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, late Sunday, July 11, 2021, after returning from a weekend in Delaware.
The stern message from Secretary of State Antony Blinken came in a statement released ahead of this week’s fifth anniversary of an international tribunal’s ruling in favor of the Philippines, against China’s maritime claims around the Spratly Islands and neighboring reefs and shoals. China rejects the ruling.
Article IV of the 1951 U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty obligates both countries to come to each other’s aid in case of an attack. China reacted angrily to the Trump administration’s announcement and is likely to be similarly peeved by the Biden administration’s decision to retain and reinforce it.
