China and the Philippines blamed each other for Monday’s clash at Sabina Shoal, an uninhabited island claimed by both countries, which has become a new flashpoint in the Spratly Islands, a major global trade and security route.
Conflict escalates between China and the Philippines
China and the Philippines have deployed separate coast guard ships to Sabina Shoal in recent months. They suspect that the other side may take control of this fish-rich island.

Recent incidents of confrontation between the two countries have raised the risk of a major conflict, which may also involve the Philippines’ ally America.
What did China and Philippines say?
The Philippine Coast Guard said the “excessive deployment” of Chinese coast guard and navy ships along with 31 suspected militia vessels illegally disrupted food supplies on a day the Philippines celebrated National Heroes Day on Monday. Meanwhile, in Beijing, the Chinese Coast Guard said it took control measures against two Philippine coast guard vessels that “intruded into the sea near Sabina Shoal.” It said in a statement that the Philippine vessels repeatedly approached the Chinese coast guard vessels, escalating the situation.
