Beijing and Manila have exchanged diplomatic broadsides after their latest clash in the South China Sea, which Manila said resulted in multiple injuries.
China says it is committed to 'resolute measures' after it clashed with a Philippine resupply mission for the second time this month in the South China Sea's Spratly Islands archipelago.
The embassy rejected an international tribunal's 2016 ruling, oft cited by Manila, that dismissed China's sweeping claims within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone.'The so-called 2016 arbitration award is illegal, null and void. China does not accept or recognize it, and will never accept any claim or action based on the award,' it said.Newsweek reached out to the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C.
