Tensions are escalating in the South China Sea as a Chinese coast guard ship came within a few feet of a Philippine vessel that was attempting to resupply marines on Second Thomas Shoal. This incident signals a more forceful approach by Beijing in the disputed waters. The Philippines is calling for stronger defense and economic ties with like-minded countries to counter China's growing ambition in the region. China's foreign ministry has urged the Philippines to stop provocation and avoid further damaging peace and stability in the South China Sea. China also claims to have driven away a Philippine Navy vessel near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, a claim that Manila denies as "propaganda." The Philippine military rejects Beijing's claims and is furious after the Chinese coast guard ship almost collided with a Philippine vessel. The BBC has witnessed Chinese ships blocking Philippine supply boats. The Philippines has been warned by the Chinese coast guard about "unapproved" vessels in the South China Sea. The situation is further complicated by the Spratly Islands dispute, with China allegedly pushing the Philippines to make the first move as an excuse for a disproportionate response.
