Chinese state media warned the Philippines, a US ally, of potential “losses” as tensions escalate in the South China Sea. China attempted to block a Philippine supply boat from reaching an outpost, citing sovereignty over the area despite it being within Philippine territory. The Global Times defended China’s actions as necessary. The US reaffirmed support for the Philippines, but the Chinese newspaper criticized this stance. Tensions are rising, with both sides urged to exercise restraint.
