China and the Philippines: Asia’s next hot war? | DW News Desk
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. warns there’s rising potential for outright conflict with China, just after another naval incident in the South China Sea. As the high-seas faceoff unfolded, two Chinese coast guard ships used water cannons against a smaller supply boat. It was the latest showdown in one of the world’s most hotly disputed waters that many fear could descend into a larger conflict that puts the United States and China on a collision course. Tuesday’s hostilities off the Philippine-occupied Second Thomas Shoal lasted about five hours starting after dawn. After China effectively seized another disputed atoll, the Scarborough Shoal off the northwestern Philippines, in 2012, Manila brought its disputes with Beijing to international arbitration and largely won. China, however, rejected the 2016 ruling of the tribunal that invalidated its expansive claims on historical grounds and continues to defy the decision.
