- Blinken warns ASEAN on China’s ‘dangerous’ actions in sea disputes | Radio Free Asia (RFA)
- Date posted

- Description
- The United States is concerned about China’s “increasingly dangerous and unlawful actions” in disputed regional waterways, Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Southeast Asian leaders on Friday while reiterating U.S. support for freedom of navigation and flight.
Offshore territorial disputes between an increasingly assertive China and its neighbors have raised fears of an armed clash and the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, has been trying to negotiate a “code of conduct” with China to prevent that.
But progress on the code has been slow while confrontations in disputed waters have been increasing between Chinese maritime authorities and vessels from the Philippines and Vietnam, in particular.

- Description
- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un warned of possible nuclear action against the U.S. and South Korea, accusing them of provoking tensions on the Korean Peninsula, according to state media reports. In a speech at Kim Jong Un University of National Defense, he claimed North Korea would use its full attack capabilities if its enemies resort to armed force.
Kim's statement follows his history of issuing similar threats, but experts suggest this latest warning may indicate Pyongyang's intention to escalate tensions ahead of the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

- Myanmar's battle lines are constantly shifting as rebel forces, comprised of dozens of factions, make significant gains against the military junta since the February 2021 coup. Ethnic armed groups and People’s Defense Force (PDF) units, with tens of thousands of fighters, have joined forces to challenge military rule. However, ousting the junta remains uncertain, and the ongoing conflict has displaced over 3 million people.
As ethnic groups and PDFs reclaim territory, the hope for a federal government and shared power among Myanmar's communities seem distant, but remains a dream for many. For the first time, an RFA team has returned to Myanmar to speak with those on the front lines, exploring their hopes for the future despite the bloodshed.

- A deadly fire at a hospital in southern Taiwan killed at least nine people as Typhoon Krathon battered the island. The fire broke out in Pingtung County, already hard-hit by the storm. Soldiers assisted in evacuating 176 patients to shelters despite heavy rain. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Typhoon Krathon, with winds of 126 kph, made landfall in Kaohsiung, drenching eastern and southern Taiwan for five days and forcing thousands to evacuate.
