China, which wants to dominate its neighbouring countries, has suffered a major setback. This setback has been given by one of its neighbouring countries, the Philippines. There was a fierce dispute going on for a long time between China and the Philippines over a coast in the South China Sea. The tension between the two countries increased so much that the Philippines had asked for Brahmos missile from India to give a befitting reply to China. It was from here that China’s retreat in this matter started and it has made an agreement to avoid a confrontation.

Two Philippines officials said that Manila and Beijing reached an agreement to avoid a confrontation over a fiercely disputed coast in the South China Sea. He said that the recent clashes have given rise to fears of major conflicts in which the United States may also be involved. The deal was done after closed-door meetings and exchange of diplomatic notes between Filipino and Chinese diplomats in Manila. However, this deal has not been publicly announced yet.

Dispute over this in the South China Sea
China has long claimed many islands and rocks in the South China Sea. On the other hand, the Philippines claims traditional fishing grounds within its exclusive economic zone in this sea. This country also calls it the West Philippine Sea. In this matter, the US supports the Philippines due to an old treaty. This treaty states that if the soldiers of the Philippines come under armed attack, then it will have to come to the defense of its oldest ally in Asia.

India’s BrahMos missile became a game-changer
The BrahMos missile became a game-changer for the Philippines. Amidst the growing tension with China, this missile strengthened the coastal security and also forced China to bow down. You can understand this in such a way that in April this year itself, India had delivered the first consignment of these cruise missiles. Within three months of the arrival of the missiles, China, which had threatened war, has reached an agreement with its enemy country.
