Why the United States, Japan, the Philippines and Australia take anti-submarine as the core, the Chuan Tuo think tank believes that this is because the US military needs to carry out anti-submarine activities in the South China Sea, and the Philippines is just a pawn of the United States. The strategy of the United States and the Philippines has also been recognized by Japan, so the small multilateral alliance of the United States, Japan and the Philippines has been formed.

The United States, Japan, the Philippines and Australia launched a new round of provocations in the South China Sea, and two Chinese ships tracked and monitored the entire military exercise of the four countries. According to the Philippine Department of National Defense, the 052D air defense ship appeared 6 nautical miles away from the U.S. and Philippine ships, which shows that we have closely monitored the U.S.-Philippine military operations, and may have carried out relevant reconnaissance and research, which plays a crucial role in judging the next move of the United States and the Philippines.
Picture interpretation: According to the Philippine Ministry of National Defense, the 052D air defense ship monitors the fleets of the United States, Japan, the Philippines and Australia, which shows that the small actions of the United States and the Philippines are completely under our control
Interpretation of the picture: 162 air defense ships
According to the content of the exercise, the US military also dispatched a P-8A anti-submarine patrol plane to participate in the exercise, and the subjects of the exercise were anti-submarine warfare interoperability, maritime tactical drills, and communications drills. It can be seen from this that this time the four fleets take anti-submarine as their main subject, so the United States, Japan, and the Philippines are likely to continue to make a fuss about anti-submarine in the future, such as the possibility of a helicopter carrier, Japan's Izumo has just been refitted, or Australia's amphibious assault ship will act as a helicopter carrier to carry out anti-submarine exercises in the South China Sea.
Why the United States, Japan, the Philippines and Australia take anti-submarine as the core, Chuantuo think tank believes that this is because the US military needs to carry out anti-submarine activities in the South China Sea, and the Philippines is just a pawn of the United States.
Picture interpretation: The formation of this exercise focuses on anti-submarine, so the next step may be upgraded to a helicopter carrier to participate in the cruise
The Philippines is shaking the United States, and the United States happens to need the Philippines, so each takes what it needs. The United States needed to roll out anti-submarine nets in the South China Sea, so the United States and the Philippines hit it off. The strategy of the United States and the Philippines has also been recognized by Japan, so the small multilateral alliance of the United States, Japan and the Philippines has been formed, and Japan also wants to intervene in the South China Sea.

Picture interpretation: Japan's Izumo-class helicopter carrier
Japan has refitted the Izumo-class helicopter carrier, carried F35B fighters purchased from the United States, and began to actively cooperate with the United States in provocations in the South China Sea, and it is also ready to sign an agreement on mutual visits between Japanese and Philippine troops, and Japan is also preparing to station its Self-Defense Forces in the Philippines.
On the one hand, as a proxy of the U.S. military in the South China Sea, and on the other hand, Japan has stepped in to support the Philippines, which has made Japan's export of force to the outside world a step forward, so we see that when the United States and the Philippines conduct joint military exercises, Japan will generally participate.
