Philippines Accuses China of Violence at Shoal | US News
Description
Tensions flare again in the South China Sea as the Philippines accuses China’s coast guard of violently striking a Filipino sailor with a baton near Second Thomas Shoal — a disputed reef within Philippine waters. This latest incident, captured in a viral video, reignites long-standing territorial disputes and echoes a similar attack in 2024 that cost a sailor a finger. The Philippines demands diplomatic action, citing a 2016 international ruling in its favor, while China denies aggression and accuses Manila of trespassing. With Southeast Asian leaders convening in Manila and China’s foreign minister attending, the world watches as maritime law and regional stability hang in the balance.
