🚨 Tensions are rising again in the South China Sea.
On October 12, a Chinese Coast Guard vessel rammed and water-cannoned a Philippine ship near Titu Island. In response, the United States has condemned Beijing’s actions, calling them dangerous and a direct threat to regional stability.
Washington invoked Article 4 of the 1951 U.S.–Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty, reminding China that any attack on Philippine forces or vessels could trigger an American military response.
Beijing insists the Philippine ship entered Chinese waters illegally, while Manila maintains it was operating inside its own Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
This clash is part of a growing pattern of Chinese maritime aggression that is testing both international law and U.S. security commitments.
🌐 The South China Sea is once again the world’s most dangerous flashpoint.
Will Washington back its words with action — or will it stop short of direct confrontation with Beijing?
