A strong advertisement for EDCA, including rotations of US combat aircraft: "Lorenzana said the Philippines has no capability to defend the country's maritime territories and troops can only watch if China blocks the military's resupply missions" https://t.co/pUtA8vQ9Ng

Well, so much for cautious optimism.

Great summary by @GregPoling and @ConorCroninDC of what hasn't happened with US-Philippine relations. US has a long history of a short attention span in the region: https://t.co/gmBfA9xIkC

Top editors at the venerable Phnom Penh Post have resigned after refusing orders from new Malaysian owners to take down (aka spike) a story. The @phnompenhpost was the last remaining independent media voice in Cambodia. This marks yet another blow for press freedom in Asia. https://t.co/91KthCNoUb

The handshake that made history.

@GregPoling "builds security partnerships with nations in Southeast Asia". What? It's not like we have allies there...

[Anna Fifield @annafifield]

Reality check on what North Korea *actually* said today: Because it has “verified the completion of nuclear weapons,” it no longer needs to test nukes or missiles and it no longer needs its test site. No suggestion it will give up any of this.

One of the first photos of Aung San Suu Kyi in Hanoi today. Still not sure what exactly has been discussed apart from trade & investment. Ms Suu Kyi witnessed the signing of 2 memoranda of cooperation in telecommunication and information. She leaves tomorrow. #Vietnam#Myanmar

[Financial Times @FinancialTimes]

A cautious response from allies in Asia suggests it will be hard to bridge the gap between the 11 members of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal and a US president demanding concessions https://t.co/kLKDDOEzfB
