What is the latest incident in the South China Sea territorial dispute between China and the Philippines?

The latest incident involves a Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy helicopter approaching a Philippine surveillance aircraft over Scarborough Shoal. The Philippine government has condemned this as an intrusion into their airspace, while China's Southern Theater Command claims the Philippine plane violated Chinese airspace first. This encounter represents a significant intensification in the ongoing territorial dispute over Scarborough Shoal, a strategic triangular chain of reefs and rocks that China forcibly seized from the Philippines. The incident highlights the continuing tensions in the region since China's 2012 takeover of this strategic area.
