Quick Glance: Chinese Coast Guard Clashes with Philippine Boat
- Chinese coast guard ships hit a Philippine supply boat with water cannons Saturday near a disputed shoal in the South China Sea, causing injuries to its navy crew members and heavy damage to the wooden vessel, Philippine officials said.
- The United States and Japan immediately expressed support for the Philippines and concern over Chinese aggression near the Second Thomas Shoal, which has seen repeated confrontations between Chinese and Philippine vessels.
- The high-seas confrontations have raised fears of a larger conflict involving China and the U.S., while Washington has conducted "freedom of navigation" operations in the area, a practice criticized by China.
- Despite overlapping claims by multiple countries, including China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Brunei, the South China Sea remains a contentious area with ongoing territorial disputes.
