Vietnam and the Philippines warned of growing insecurity in Southeast Asia at a regional summit on Friday amid concerns that China was stepping up its activity in the disputed South China Sea during the coronavirus pandemic.

Both Hanoi and Manila lodged protests with China in April after Beijing unilaterally declared the creation of new administrative districts on islands in the troubled waterways to which Vietnam and the Philippines also have competing claims.

“We call on parties to refrain from escalating tensions and abide by responsibilities under international law,” he said. In early April, Vietnam said one of its fishing boats was sunk by a Chinese maritime surveillance vessel. China said that Vietnam’s claims in South China sea are illegal and “doomed to fail”.

South Dakota governor on taking down Mount Rushmore: 'Not on my watch'South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, a Republican, has a simple response to those that question whether Mount Rushmore will be taken down: 'Not on my watch.' They look alike as Egyptian idol... Maybe focus on Stone Mountain Georgia first. There should be no confederate flag, monuments, statues anywhere in the country. End of story. And yes, we should have greater understanding of our own history and those we celebrate, but be balanced about it. It’s is South Dakota they have to have something!
