Quick Glance: Chinese Coast Guard Clashes with Philippine Boat
- Chinese coast guard ships hit a Philippine supply boat with water cannons Saturday near a disputed shoal in the South China Sea, causing injuries to its navy crew members and heavy damage to the wooden vessel, Philippine officials said.
- The United States and Japan immediately expressed support for the Philippines and concern over Chinese aggression near the Second Thomas Shoal, which has seen repeated confrontations between Chinese and Philippine vessels.
- The high-seas confrontations have raised fears of a larger conflict involving China and the U.S., while Washington has conducted "freedom of navigation" operations in the area, a practice criticized by China.
- Despite overlapping claims by multiple countries, including China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Brunei, the South China Sea remains a contentious area with ongoing territorial disputes.

Quick Glance: Taiwan Raises Alarm Over 'Enormous' Chinese Bases Near Its S. China Sea Holding
- Taiwan's foreign minister mentioned that China has established 'enormous' military bases on three islands surrounding Taiwan's main holding in the South China Sea, but Taipei is not seeking to further escalate tensions in the strategic waterway.
- Some lawmakers from both the ruling and main opposition parties have urged President Tsai Ing-wen to visit Itu Aba to assert Taiwan's sovereignty and witness a newly renovated harbor capable of accommodating larger ships.
- China has conducted extensive land reclamation on its South China Sea islands, constructing major air force and other military facilities, causing significant concern in Washington and the region.
- Taiwan also controls the Pratas Islands in the northern part of the South China Sea, and both China's air force and navy frequently operate nearby to assert Beijing's territorial claims over Taiwan, which the Taipei government rejects.
