YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

With the world in uproar over Trump's trade tariffs, China has been quietly creating new "facts on the water" in the South China Sea. This month, Chinese troops planted a flag on yet another disputed reef, further inflaming tensions with the Philippines. What's China's endgame in the region? And can Manila or anyone else push back as Beijing pushes deeper into the Pacific... one sandbank at a time?
