 U.S.-Japan-Philippines summit to send 'crystal clear' signal to China
==========

The first-ever trilateral summit between the U.S., Japan, and the Philippines will be held on Thursday to address China's coercion in the South China Sea. The summit is intended to send a 'crystal clear' message of unity. U.S. President Joe Biden is hosting Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for a three-way meeting at the White House. Tensions have risen in the South China Sea, with China intensifying its actions to block Philippine supply ships. The summit aims to bolster economic ties and lock in relations with the Philippines.
