According to the latest report, the USS Carl Vinson, a US Navy Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, is in the South China Sea for “routine operations.” According to the US Pacific Command, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group ONE “is underway conducting routine operations in the US 7th Fleet area of operations.”

The report said that an official photo posted on the US Pacific Fleet’s website showed how sailors observed an F/A-18E Super Hornet, assigned to the “Stingers” of Strike Fighter Squadron 113, take off from the flight deck of the carrier on Wednesday.

The report added that the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has yet to respond to request for more information about the US Navy vessel’s presence in the SCS, reported days after China’s biggest coast guard vessel known as its monster ship was spotted within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.

The report also stated that China has been claiming almost the entire SCS despite a 2016 arbitral award invalidating its claims and despite repeated calls from various nations for it to stop its harassment of Philippine vessels in the region.

In addition to the report AFP chief Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr., in his speech during on the AFP’s 89th anniversary last month, said the military “has been undaunted in asserting our sovereignty” with the help of the country’s allies. “With modernized tools and strategic international partnerships, we carry on in strengthening our maritime presence, securing our exclusive economic zone, and upholding the principles of international law,” he said.

Meanwhile, Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Commodore Jay Tarriela accused China of trumpeting “self-serving interpretation of international law.”

That is the nature of China's greed and corruption. This day, there are 7 Chinese vessels sighted in Taiwan and the Taiwanese government is angry.
