What recent incident has escalated tensions between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea?
A significant escalation occurred when a People's Liberation Army Navy helicopter from China allegedly threatened Philippine airspace near Scarborough Shoal. Interestingly, China's military has countered by claiming that it was actually a Philippine plane that intruded into Chinese airspace over the same area. This incident marks a notable 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 confrontation represents the latest chapter in the contentious struggle for control over this strategically important maritime feature in the South China Sea.
