The Philippines accused a Chinese ship of targeting its vessel with a water cannon near Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea, amid rising tensions following Beijing’s protest over President Ferdinand Marcos Jr’s remarks on Taiwan. The Philippine Coast Guard reported hazardous manoeuvres, blocking actions, and a collision between a China Coast Guard vessel and a Chinese navy ship during the incident. Marcos said the Philippines will continue defending its territory and sovereign rights despite opposition.
