Xi's Warships in West Philippine Sea Alert Manila 🚢

Xi's Warships In West Philippine Sea, Manila On Alert Amid China's New Moves | Spotlight | N18G   

Philippines-China dispute: Manila has reported a fresh Chinese incursion near Pagasa Island, where it said Beijing's vessel anchored close to a coral reef, causing significant environmental damage. According to Manila, the Chinese ship, supported by two others, remained grounded for nearly three hours before being escorted away by the Chinese Coast Guard last week. The Philippine Coast Guard also encountered Chinese warships off Occidental Mindoro, issuing radio challenges that were ignored. One vessel was even seen conducting a helicopter landing drill amid the standoff. Manila reaffirmed its commitment to defending its maritime zones, invoking the 2016 arbitral ruling that invalidated China's sweeping claims. The escalation coincides with the anniversary of that legal victory.
