The U.S. House Committee on China has sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, expressing concern over the Philippines’ response to China’s activities in the South China Sea. The committee requests that the U.S. provide sufficient financial support to the Philippines to mitigate potential risks to U.S. security interests. Specifically, the letter highlights the need for the Philippines to demonstrate a strong stance against Beijing’s actions, which the committee views as destabilising. The committee stresses the importance of maintaining stability in the region.
