Philippines condemns China Coast Guard's action in South China Sea

MANILA: The Philippines condemned"in strongest terms" the actions of three Chinese Coast Guard vessels which blocked and used water cannons on two Manila supply boats on their way to a Philippine-occupied atoll in the South China Sea, its top diplomat said on Thursday .

"The acts of the Chinese Coast Guard are illegal," Locsin said in a statement, reminding China that a public vessel is covered by the Philippines-United States Mutual Defense Treaty. Locsin warned Beijing's"failure to exercise self restraint threatens the special relationship" between the two countries.
