Since Asian Affairs is my remit, I’ll be looking to include more developments from the Indo-Pacific over time. Tensions in the Western Pacific have been heightened for awhile, and this is not a measure that should be deemed as an outlier. I just haven’t been covering it. For example, just yesterday, the Philippines and the U.S. flew a joint air patrol of two U.S. Pacific Air Force (PACAF) B-1b Lancer and Philippine Air Force (PAF) FA-50 fighter jets over the West Philippine Sea.
