Maritime security expert Ray Powell hailed the Philippines for developing 'one of the most innovative counter gray zone tactics' in the West PH Sea.
MANILA — Maritime security expert Ray Powell on Monday hailed the Philippines for developing "one of the most innovative and important counter gray zone tactics" with regard to its dispute with China in the West Philippine Sea.
"I think that the Philippines' sort of transparency campaign is not only significant for the Philippines. I think the world has a lot to learn from this and I really hope that nations around the region and around the world are taking careful note of what the Philippines is doing," Powell said. The National Defense College of the Philippines defines "gray zone" as “an effort... to achieve one’s security objectives without resort to direct and sizable use of force."
