China’s military development is not limited to traditional arms; it has also engaged in the pursuit of hypersonic nuclear capabilities. Recent revelations suggest that China is developing submarines armed with advanced hypersonic missiles that could threaten the Philippines and its allied forces, particularly in the context of U.S. military deployments in the region.
Simultaneously, the Philippines is reportedly on alert as China’s military advancements continue. The threat is exacerbated by the Philippines’ acceptance of U.S. military technology, such as the Thypoon missile system, which can counter Chinese aggressions. Yet, China has dismissed offers from the Philippines to de-escalate tensions, hinting at a continuing cycle of hostility.
