Officials in the country’s defense and foreign ministries told Reuters that the frigate, scheduled to embark on a trip to Asia in August, will traverse the South China Sea on the return leg of its journey.

AMTI UPDATE
Beijing’s South China Sea moves have ramped up with the passing of a law allowing the China Coast Guard (CCG) to fire on what it identifies as illegal foreign vessels in waters under its jurisdiction. By virtue of China’s nine-dash line claim, this law applies to the entire South China Sea. Given that China’s claims are opposed by other South China Sea claimants as well as numerous non-claimant countries, the law has proven controversial and raises concerns over whether it will increase the risk of confrontation and conflict in the disputed waters.
The Law
On January 22, the standing committee of China’s National People’s Congress passed a new law empowering the CCG to employ “all necessary means” to stop or prevent threats from foreign vessels and specifying the circumstances under which different weapons, “handheld, shipborne, or airborne,” can be deployed, as well as allowing it to demolish structures built by other claimants in areas China considers its own. This new law is another manifestation of the CCG’s expanding role. The roles and practices of the CCG have generally been in line with those of other coast guards around the world. This specific law, however, lays out the powers and duties of the CCG in so called “jurisdictional waters,” which include the highly contested areas in the South China Sea. For now, the law amounts to a figurative shot across the bows of other claimants—but that shot could soon be literal.

China is “threatening war” after it authorised its warships to open fire on fishers plying traditional waters, warns the Philippines. Now Washington says it has Manila’s back.
Beijing has passed legislation calling upon its military-controlled coast guard to open fire upon “foreign” vessels and destroy “illegal” structures within the East and South China seas.
Problem is, those territories don’t belong to it.

And that has Manila worried the region is about to erupt in violence.
Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. says the Chinese move “is a verbal threat of war to any country that defies the law”. Any nation not rejecting the law will be signalling its “submission”.https://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?creatorScreenName=nzherald&dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1354352774591389697&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nzherald.co.nz%2Fworld%2Fchina-threatens-war-with-philippines-as-us-pledges-support-to-manila%2F3Y5CG364WQOCTY773AV42FWHIE%2F&siteScreenName=nzherald&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px
Beijing’s aggressive new legislation orders its coast guard to “take all necessary measures, including the use of weapons, when national sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction are being illegally infringed upon by foreign organisations or individuals at sea”.
Hours after the new law was passed, a flight of H-6K strategic bombers escorted by advanced fighters made a dummy “attack run” on the USS Theodore Roosevelt battle group.
Filipino fishers operating out of Thitu (also known as Pag-asa) island in the Spratly Islands also reported Chinese coast guard and militia vessels forcing them out of traditional waters.

Making a stand
New US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has responded to Beijing’s intimidation by contacting Mr Locsin, telling him the longstanding defence agreement between the two nations would be honoured.

BEIJING (Reuters) – China said on Tuesday it will conduct military exercises in the South China Sea this week, just days after Beijing bristled at a U.S. aircraft carrier group’s entry into the disputed waters.
A notice issued by the country’s Maritime Safety Administration prohibited entry into a portion of waters in the Gulf of Tonkin to the west of the Leizhou peninsula in southwestern China from Jan. 27 to Jan. 30, but it did not offer details on when the drills would take place or at what scale.

A U.S. carrier group led by the USS Theodore Roosevelt entered the South China Sea on Saturday to promote “freedom of the seas,” the U.S. military said, days after Joe Biden began his term as president.
The contested waters have become another flashpoint in the increasingly testy bilateral relationship between Beijing and Washington. The U.S. military has steadily increased its activities there in recent years as China asserts its territorial claims in the area in conflict with neighbouring countries including Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei and Taiwan.

The announcement of the drills in the Gulf of Tonkin, just east of Vietnam, came as the Southeast Asian country opened a key Communist Party congress in Hanoi.
China on Monday complained that the United States frequently sends aircraft and vessels into the South China Sea, through which trillion dollars in trade flow every year, to “flex its muscles” and said such actions are not conducive to peace and stability in the region.

China has passed a law that for the first time explicitly allows its coast guard to fire on foreign vessels, a move that could make the contested South China Sea and nearby waters more choppy.

Hơn ai hết, có bốn nhân vật đã định hình “căng thẳng chiến lược” thường được nhắc đến về Biển Đông
Biển Đông là vùng lãnh hải quan trọng nhất cho nền kinh tế thế giới — nơi mà ít nhất một phần ba thương mại toàn cầu thông thương qua lại. Đây cũng là vùng biển nguy hiểm nhất thế giới, nơi mà quân đội Hoa Kỳ và Trung Quốc có thể dễ dàng va chạm nhất.
Các tàu chiến của Trung Quốc và Mỹ gần như chỉ ngăn chặn được một số sự cố ở đó trong vài năm qua, và quân đội Trung Quốc đã cảnh báo về các máy bay phản lực của Mỹ bay phía trên. Vào tháng 7, hai quốc gia đã tiến hành các cuộc tập trận hải quân cạnh tranh trong vùng biển này. Với việc được gọi là “cạnh tranh chiến lược” ngày càng tăng giữa Washington và Bắc Kinh, nỗi lo sợ về một tai nạn có thể châm ngòi cho một cuộc đối đầu quân sự lớn hơn khiến các nhà chiến lược ở cả hai bên phải bận tâm.
Những căng thẳng này xuất phát từ bất đồng giữa hai nước về việc liệu Biển Đông có phải là lãnh thổ của Trung Quốc hay không, một cuộc cãi vã nói lên tranh chấp sâu sắc hơn về chủ quyền vùng biển, chủ quyền được quyết định ra sao, và các quyền di chuyển cơ bản trong các vùng biển đó.
