Tensions between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea have escalated as Chinese vessels harassed and blocked Philippine boats attempting to resupply a Manila-held outpost. The Chinese coast guard and maritime militia vessels engaged in unsafe and unprofessional maneuvers, including blasting water cannons at the Philippine boats. The Philippines denounced China's actions as 'unprovoked acts of coercion' and accused China of infringing on its sovereignty. China, on the other hand, urged the Philippines to stop infringing on its sovereignty. The situation reflects the broader context of contemporary international geopolitics, with China using its bases and overwhelming numbers to assert its dominance in the region.
