Indonesia is hosting its annual Super Garuda Shield military exercises. Ahead of these drills, the U.S.’ new F-22 fighter jet made a historic tour, flying over three South China Sea nations—Indonesia, Brunei, and the Philippines—and landing in Indonesia and Brunei for the first time. We discuss how Indonesia and Brunei are tackling their South China Sea claims in the face of China's assertiveness and how their security relations with the U.S. act as a hedge against pressure from Beijing.
Our guests:
Tony Hu
- Former U.S. Department of Defense Senior Director for China, Taiwan, and Mongolia.
Brian Hioe,
