Quick Glance: Defense Secretary Austin Affirms Long-Term U.S. Support for Ukraine Amid Congressional Funding Standstill
- Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin emphasized on Tuesday that the U.S. will continue to support Ukraine's efforts in the war against Russia, even as the U.S. Congress remains stuck due to funding reluctance to send additional weapons to the front.
- The conference took place a week after U.S. defense officials found and utilized $300 million in contract savings to finance a new package of military aid for Ukraine by extracting weapons from Pentagon stocks.
- U.S. leaders had stated in the past three months that they could not take more weapons off the shelves because they lacked the money to replenish the stocks. The Congress has been deadlocked for months over a new $95 billion supplemental bill that includes about $60 billion in aid for Ukraine.
- UNESCO indicates that Ukraine requires over a billion dollars to reconstruct its scientific infrastructure.

Quick Glance: Chinese Coast Guard Clashes with Philippine Boat
- Chinese coast guard ships hit a Philippine supply boat with water cannons Saturday near a disputed shoal in the South China Sea, causing injuries to its navy crew members and heavy damage to the wooden vessel, Philippine officials said.
- The United States and Japan immediately expressed support for the Philippines and concern over Chinese aggression near the Second Thomas Shoal, which has seen repeated confrontations between Chinese and Philippine vessels.
- The high-seas confrontations have raised fears of a larger conflict involving China and the U.S., while Washington has conducted "freedom of navigation" operations in the area, a practice criticized by China.
- Despite overlapping claims by multiple countries, including China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Brunei, the South China Sea remains a contentious area with ongoing territorial disputes.

Quick Glance: Criticism of Taiwan's Minister at U.S.-Backed Seoul Summit
- China criticizes South Korea for Taiwan's involvement at a democracy summit in Seoul, where Digital Minister Audrey Tang delivered an unexpected video message.
- China opposes Taiwan's participation at the conference, urging Seoul to adhere to the one-China principle and not provide a platform for Taiwanese independence forces.
- Tang's presence at the event was not disclosed beforehand by authorities in Taiwan or South Korea. She emphasized the necessity of a democratic approach to address artificial intelligence challenges in her video message.
- Tang's attendance at Biden's inaugural democracy summit in 2021 also sparked objections from China, prompting U.S. officials to halt the video feed of her comments following a map in her presentation depicting Taiwan distinct from China.

Quick Glance: Taiwan Raises Alarm Over 'Enormous' Chinese Bases Near Its S. China Sea Holding
- Taiwan's foreign minister mentioned that China has established 'enormous' military bases on three islands surrounding Taiwan's main holding in the South China Sea, but Taipei is not seeking to further escalate tensions in the strategic waterway.
- Some lawmakers from both the ruling and main opposition parties have urged President Tsai Ing-wen to visit Itu Aba to assert Taiwan's sovereignty and witness a newly renovated harbor capable of accommodating larger ships.
- China has conducted extensive land reclamation on its South China Sea islands, constructing major air force and other military facilities, causing significant concern in Washington and the region.
- Taiwan also controls the Pratas Islands in the northern part of the South China Sea, and both China's air force and navy frequently operate nearby to assert Beijing's territorial claims over Taiwan, which the Taipei government rejects.
