THE US STEPS IN
• Certainly, the US is having a massive tiff with 
China over trade and the fact that Beijing 
didn’t let on early about the coronavirus 
pandemic thereby causing untold harm to 
America – but the Ladakh border clash has 
been much more than a casualty.
• So the US moved two aircraft carriers into 
the South China Sea Saturday, in what 
amounted to a significant show of strength, 
insisting on freedom of navigation.
