China South China Sea conflict: China gets increasingly rambunctious in South China Sea

Chairman Xi Jinping's hardening stance against the Philippines has led to increased aggression by the China Coast Guard (CCG) in the South China Sea, particularly at Second Thomas Shoal. The CCG has been harassing Philippine resupply missions to a garrison there, with incidents including water cannon use and ramming. The Philippines has protested these actions, stating they violate international law. Despite efforts to resolve differences peacefully, China's actions continue to escalate tensions in the region. The Philippines seeks wider international support against China's aggressive expansionist tactics.
