Confrontation in South China Sea deepens tensions between China and US-backed Philippines | 德国之声

Tensions are running high between the Philippines and China following a recent confrontation in a disputed area of the South China Sea.
Manila condemned the Chinese coast guard on Sunday for firing water cannon at its vessels in the contested waterway, describing it as “illegal” 和 “dangerous.”
Beijing, on the other hand, said it had taken “necessary controls” against Philippine boats that had “illegally” entered its waters.
The incident occurred as the Philippine boats were on a resupply mission to a grounded warship — the BRP Sierra Madre — a World War II-era vessel now used by Manila as a military outpost.
The ship — deliberately grounded by Manila in 1999 to reinforce its sovereignty claims — has long been a flashpoint between the two countries.
The Philippine Navy personnel deployed on the crumbling vessel depend upon resupply missions to survive their remote posting.
