Washington has reiterated its defense commitments to Manila after Sunday's collision between Philippine and Chinese vessels in the South China Sea.
The U.S. has reaffirmed its defense obligations to treaty ally the Philippines after two Philippine vessels carrying out a routine supply mission collided with Chinese ships trying to block them in an increasingly disputed region of the South China Sea.The behavior of the Chinese ships 'jeopardized Filipino crew members' safety and impeded critically needed supplies from reaching service members,' the U.S. Department of State said Sunday.
An international arbitral tribunal in 2016 ruled in favor of the Philippines and shot down China's assertions. Beijing has disregarded this ruling.The National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea condemned 'in the strongest degree the latest dangerous, irresponsible, and illegal actions of the and the Chinese Maritime Militia this morning.'The Philippines' Department of Foreign Affairs summoned China's deputy chief of mission on Monday, as the ambassador was unavailable.
