China’s coast guard accused the Philippines of deliberately crashing one of its ships into a Chinese vessel near Sabina Shoal in the South China Sea.
MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine defense chief said Tuesday that China is “the biggest disruptor” of peace in Southeast Asia and called for stronger international censure over its aggression in the South China Sea, a day after China blocked Philippine vessels from delivering food to a coast guard ship at the Sabina Shoal. Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. spoke at an international military conference organized in Manila by the U.S.
China and the Philippines blamed each other for the confrontation on Monday at the Sabina Shoal, an uninhabited atoll both countries claim that has become the latest flashpoint in the Spratlys, the most hotly disputed region of the sea passage that is a key global trade and security route. China and the Philippines have separately deployed coast guard ships to Sabina in recent months on suspicion the other may act to take control of and build structures in the fishing atoll.
