East Asia Tonight: US-Philippine military ties, Taiwan's 'China threat'

On East Asia Tonight (Jul 30), the US will give $500 million in military funding to the Philippines, Taiwan says China is a threat to the world, and Chinese EV makers' Europe rush. We also look at how Japan is dealing with its growing nuclear waste.

It doesn't matter how many times the Chinese regime repeats the *lies, *
or how *angry* it pretends to be,
- Taiwan 🇹🇼 is still an independent country.

We filipinos do not want war with any body or any country. But If china will bring war with us well i think we have no choice but to depend our country and thats the reality!

The Philippines have the Brahmos but a former senior adviser to the US state department
noted that the Philippines did not yet have the C4ISR capabilities to use the Brahmos missiles effectively.
For security purpose, Philippines should consider having the C4ISR system. The money can be used to make the first payment.

PH NEEDS MORE TANKS FOR AIR AND GROUND DEFENSE.
