China Issues Warning to US Ally Over South China Sea Flashpoint

Sabina Shoal, just 86 miles from the Philippines' Palawan province, is at the root of a standoff between the U.S. ally and China.

China has doubled down on its muscular presence within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone, warning the U.S. ally to stop 'stirring up trouble.'Tuesday saw the third confrontation in a week in waters near the disputed Sabina Shoal, with the Chinese coast guard and navy warships moving to block a Philippine supply mission to the coast guard ship that has been anchored at the feature for months.

Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday took aim at China's behavior toward nearby countries.'There's little 'love thy neighbor' in China's 'good neighbor' policy. A Chinese surveillance plane recently violating Japanese airspace, Chinese coast guard cutters repeatedly ramming and firing water cannons at Philippine ships, and a Chinese fighter dropping flares at an Australian helicopter tell the true story,' Emanuel wrote on X .
