China's aircraft carrier Shandong was spotted near the Philippines amid rising tensions in the South China Sea. On July 1, the China Coast Guard followed and monitored a Philippine supply mission to Sabina Shoal, where three Philippine Coast Guard vessels were sent to resupply a vessel 'illegally' stranded. The Philippines Foreign Ministry stated that they had frank and constructive discussions with China but emphasized their commitment to protecting their sovereignty and interests. Additionally, the Philippines described a June 17 incident in the South China Sea as the 'most aggressive' recent Chinese action.
