And thousands of US and Philippine troops are taking part in major combat 
drills across the Philippines near the disputed South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait. 
The exercises involve nearly 10,000 US forces. 
>> Regardless of the challenges elsewhere in the world, the United States focus on the Indo-Pacific and our ironclad commitment to the Philippines remains unwavering. 
That will include nearly three weeks of live fire drills and simulated combat operations. 
US officials say the deployment underscores Washington's firm and unwavering commitment to the Indo-Pacific. 
China has strongly opposed the exercises, saying that they're aimed at containing its rise. 
Manila and Washington say the drills are defensive and focused on preparedness and disaster response. 
The Philippine military says the exercises are meant to build deterrence and stability amid regional tensions and competing territorial claims. 
Meanwhile, Taiwan says a Chinese aircraft carrier passed through the Taiwan Strait with its forces tracking the vessel throughout its transit.
