Philippines | Asia’s Military Modernisation

Crisis Group’s Senior Analyst for the Philippines, Georgi Engelbrecht, explores how worries about a confrontation between the U.S. and China over Taiwan, the rise of middle powers, disputes in the South China Sea, and historic alliance with the United States are driving Manila to rethink its military strategy.

This video is part of our new “Asia’s Military Modernisation” series which examines the shifting security roles of the U.S. and China, and the evolving defence postures of Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and Australia.
