US-China rivalry

The Philippines has allowed the US to boost its military presence by giving Washington access to four more bases in the country. The move is part of Washington's attempts to gain strategic advantage over China in the region.

Washington and Manila are concerned over Beijing’s increasing assertiveness in the South China Sea.

China has rejected the move as a provocation.
