Philippine officials have welcomed US approval of the sale of F-16 fighter jets to the country. The move comes as China&#039;s maritime activities in the South China Sea grow increasingly assertive.
        
                    
                  
The US government announced on Tuesday that it had given the green light to the Philippines&#039; request to buy 20 of the jets, along with other military equipment. The total value of the deal is $5.58 billion.
        
                    
                  
Philippine officials say the sale would significantly upgrade the country&#039;s arsenal. Manila added that purchases of security equipment are for the country&#039;s defense and do not target any state.
China&#039;s Foreign Ministry has denounced the move. It said such measures between the US and the Philippines undermine regional security.
        
                    
                  
Guo Jiakun, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, said on Wednesday, &quot;Any defense and security cooperation between the Philippines and other countries should not target a third party or harm their interests. It should also not threaten regional peace and security or escalate tensions.&quot;
        
                    
                  
Washington&#039;s announcement came days after US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth&#039;s trip to Manila.
He reiterated America&#039;s &quot;ironclad alliance&quot; with the Philippines in the face of &quot;communist China&#039;s aggression&quot; in the Indo-Pacific region.
