The World's Rising Nuclear Power
For over half a century, the United States’ primary nuclear enemy has been Russia, with 90% of the world’s nuclear warheads being possessed between the two countries as a result of their hostility towards one another. However, with changes in the current geopolitical landscape, countries whose capabilities may have been overlooked in the past are now rising to the nuclear stage with enough momentum to prompt US attention – these countries being China, North Korea, and Iran.
South Asian Sea and the Chinese Coastguard
Just three weeks ago, a Chinese Coast Guard ship purposely rammed a Filipino vessel on the open ocean just 100 nautical miles off the coast of the Philippines. The incident marked the first time in recent years that a Chinese Coast Guard ship had done physical damage to a foreign nation's ship. For years, the Chinese Coast Guard and civilian Chinese naval militias have harassed and effectively blockaded Filipino ships from accessing this area of the South China Sea in an attempt to assert control over the area. The incident is one of many occurrences that demonstrate a pattern of belligerent behavior by the Chinese military. Such a pattern proves the need for the United States and its allies to maintain and reinforce its commitment to territorial sovereignty as defined by international law by strengthening alliances and presence in the region.
