In 2016, the Philippines won its case against China before the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, which invalidated Beijing’s sweeping claims in the South China Sea.Other claimants in the South China Sea include Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Taiwan. These accusations are insulting to Filipinos, he said, because “it assumes we do not have the ability to think for ourselves and stand up for our own rights.”
The National Security Council , meanwhile, said it is monitoring some influencers and groups that it says tend to echo China’s sentiments on the West Philippine Sea. House foreign affairs committee chairman Michael McCaul, ranking member Gregory Meeks, along with subcommittee on the Indo-Pacific chairwoman Young Kim and ranking member Ami Bera, issued the statement and called out China over what they called “maritime intimidation” in the South China Sea.
“We condemn Beijing’s maritime intimidation and welcome the Biden administration’s announcement to increase joint patrols with the Philippines and other partners in the South China Sea,” the lawmakers said. On Oct. 23, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Tokyo is concerned over the “recent surge in tensions in the South China Sea,” including the dangerous action that caused a collision between Chinese and Filipino ships.
