The flights and drills also suggest the administration is not backing off U.S. policies of confronting China or that Mr. Trump is becoming more accommodating to China in the region than his predecessor.

Politico reported in a column this week that Mr. Trump has begun his second term with conciliatory policies toward Beijing, including delaying a ban on TikTok, inviting President Xi Jinping to his inauguration, and giving China’s communist regime “a chance to strengthen itself just as it was facing economic headwinds.”

Officials from the Philippines said the overflight took place near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, where China’s naval and maritime militia forces have been conducting provocative maneuvers against Philippines vessels seeking to resupply a grounded navy ship on the shoal.
