Tensions in the South China Sea have escalated as the Philippines accused the Chinese coast guard of attempting to block a Filipino government vessel delivering supplies to fishermen near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, marking the second such incident in two weeks. Satellite images have revealed a new floating barrier across the entrance of the hotly disputed Scarborough Shoal, near where Philippine ships and China coast guard vessels have had frequent run-ins. The Philippine Coast Guard also accused its Chinese counterpart of jamming the signal of the tracking system of Philippine ships during recent operations in the area. Beijing has defended the floating barrier as 'necessary', while denying allegations of destroying coral reefs in the region.
