US Official: US and India Consider Joint Patrols in South China Sea

The US and India reportedly discussed plans to conduct joint naval
patrols that could include the disputed South China Sea, where Beijing
has built several islands in the Spratly archipelago amid protests and
territorial claims by neighboring countries. An U.S. defense official
told Reuters News that the two sides may launch the joint patrols
within the year, in a move that would likely anger Beijing.
