Why Germany is increasing its military presence in the Indo-Pacific region | DW News

Two German warships have set sail towards the Indo-Pacific region, in an effort to increase Germany's military presence in the region.
The "Frankfurt am Main" ship set off on Tuesday from the northern German port of Wilhelmshaven. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said rising tensions between China and Taiwan and over the South China Sea were putting pressure on freedom of navigation and trade routes.

So that China may know that claiming the entire South sea is so impossible.... China against the world😂😂😂

[pepepleaseplay]

That's why when the Philippines president said thaf SCS issue is not just an issue between China and ASEAN, it's a global issue. Germany trades and essentials pass by on that waters so China stealing those waters and controling the area has economic impact on Europe

Filipinos are thankful to Germany for its show of support. In a week’s time, several civilian supply ships will be heading to Scarborough Shoal to help Filipino fisherfolk sustain their livelihood in their traditional fishing grounds and prevent them from being chased away by Beijing’s water cannons. Any help is valuable. Vielen Dank!
