The United States called on China Saturday to stop “provocative and unsafe conduct” in the disputed South China Sea after a recent near-collision with a Philippine Coast Guard boat there, ramping up rhetoric ahead of a visit by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to the White House.
The near-miss Sunday off the Spratly Islands was the latest in a long string of maritime incidents between China and the Philippines.Beijing claims sovereignty over almost the entire South China Sea, ignoring an international ruling that the assertion has no legal basis and finding for the Philippines in its territorial dispute with China.
AFP journalists watched the incident from the other Philippine Coast Guard boat, which was less than a kilometer away. The near-miss came just a day after Marcos hosted Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang for talks in Manila aimed at defusing tensions in the waterway. White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said earlier in the month that Biden intended, in the meeting with Marcos, to “reaffirm the United States’ ironclad commitment to the defense of the Philippines.”
Filipino soldiers are now better trained and better equipped than before, he said, in the wake of the recently concluded 2023 Balikatan Exercise between the armed forces of the Philippines and the US.
