\u201cIt is past time to address the PRC\u2019s bullying tactics in the South China Sea to enforce unlawful territorial claims against American allies and other sovereign nations.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Washington \u2013 Yesterday, Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48) introduced a resolution to reaffirm the United States\u2019 alliance with the Philippines and condemn the aggressive acts by China to advance their objectives in the Indo-Pacific through intimidation and military aggression.<\/p>\n

The resolution was finalized only days after Chinese navy ships\u00a0rammed Filipino vessels<\/a>\u00a0in areas where China has made sweeping territorial claims, one of several\u00a0aggressive maneuvers<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0Chinese ships in the South China Sea<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The resolution is cosponsored by Representatives Juan Vargas (CA-52), Ami Bera (CA-06), and Mike Waltz (FL-06).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PRC\u2019s continued aggression in the South China Sea, and especially toward American allies, must not go unaddressed any longer. This Congress will reaffirm the United States\u2019 steadfast commitment to support the Philippines in the face of this aggression and end the PRC\u2019s campaign of coercion in a region where their sovereignty does not reach,\u201d\u00a0said Rep. Issa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud to join my Congressional colleagues in solidifying the longstanding alliance between the United States and the Philippines,\u201d\u00a0said Rep. Vargas<\/strong>. \u201cChina\u2019s harassment violates international law, and this bipartisan resolution reaffirms our support for the Philippines and their defense against China’s maritime incursions in the South China Sea.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored to lead this bipartisan resolution, demonstrating unwavering solidarity with the Philippines while condemning the dangerous actions taken by the Chinese Coast Guard in the South China Sea. The recent actions are part of a broader pattern of persistent aggression by the People\u2019s Republic of China in the South China Sea which poses a threat to our allies and partners in the region. I commend the Biden Administration for its commitment to upholding the U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty and its announcement to increase joint patrols with the Philippines and other partners in the South China Sea. The United States and Congress will continue to stand with our allies and partners against the PRC\u2019s unlawful aggression and their flagrant disregard for international law,\u201d\u00a0said Rep. Bera<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, more than ever, we must condemn China\u2019s harassment and violation of international law in the South China Sea,\u201d\u00a0said Waltz<\/strong>. \u201cThis aggression by China\u2019s Coast Guard and maritime militias endanger the Philippines, our allies in the region, and the safety of international waters. Proud to stand with my colleagues in Congress to affirm our commitment to defending the Philippines and international waters from China\u2019s illegal and malicious maritime incursions.\u201d<\/p>\n
