The Philippines on Sunday accused China of firing water cannons at one of its vessels in the disputed South China Sea.
Describing the Chinese Coast Guard's actions as "illegal" and "dangerous", Manila issued a strong condemnation statement stating that Chinese coast guard ship made “excessive and offensive” use of water cannons to block a Filipino supply boat from delivering new troops, food, water and fuel to a Philippine-occupied shoal in the disputed South China Sea.
A top Philippine general has issued a stark warning over China's aggressive actions in the South China Sea, calling Beijing's claims "illegal and coercive." Brigadier General Logico criticized China’s expanding control near Philippine waters as U.S., Philippine, and Australian forces launch massive joint military drills. With 14,000 troops and international observers involved, the Balikatan exercises underscore a growing alliance. For the first time, the U.S. deployed deadly NMESIS missile systems near Taiwan, intensifying regional tension. As military presence escalates, calls for global attention to China's maritime behavior grow louder.

The BRP Miguel Malvar, an 80-year-old World War II ship, sank unexpectedly before it could be used as a live-fire target in the U.S.-Philippine Balikatan drills. Originally set to be sunk off Zambales, rough seas and the vessel's age caused it to go under prematurely. The Malvar held historical value as a former U.S. Navy ship that once hunted Japanese submarines. Although the target drill was canceled, joint military exercises continued near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, highlighting growing U.S.-Philippine cooperation in deterring China's presence in the South China Sea.

China’s newest warship Qinzhou has completed a dramatic live-fire drill just days after joining the PLA Navy’s Southern Theater Command. The stealth frigate Type 054B, hull number 555, was seen in state media footage sinking a target using its main gun and close-in weapon system. This marks Beijing’s bold push to expand naval dominance in disputed waters. As tensions rise, military analysts say the ship’s firepower and far-seas capabilities fit China’s long-term strategy to control critical trade routes and deter rivals in the South China Sea.

Australia has deployed its warship, HMAS Sydney, to the South China Sea as part of a three-month Indo-Pacific mission, further escalating tensions in the region. This move follows a series of provocative actions, including China’s naval circumnavigation of Australia earlier this year and a recent unsafe interception of an Australian patrol aircraft by Chinese fighter jets. The Australian Defense Department maintains that its operations align with international law and uphold the principles of a free and open Indo-Pacific. The deployment comes after Australia’s participation in joint military drills with the U.S. and the Philippines, signaling a strong commitment to regional security.

The US tariff impact is sending shockwaves across global markets, with India and other Asian giants facing new trade barriers. Robinder Nath Sachdev, a Foreign Affairs Expert, explains how Trump’s move is aimed at securing voter confidence and fulfilling his promises.

China has deployed its aircraft carrier Shandong and an electronic surveillance ship to the Western Pacific in a direct response to the US-Philippines Balikatan drills and the unprecedented deployment of ship-sinking missiles in Luzon Strait. The US Navy's USS Nimitz is also active in the region. Beijing warned that any military collusion targeting China’s interests will face consequences.

Tensions are escalating in the Asia-Pacific as China slams the U.S.-Philippines joint military drills near Taiwan. The 2025 Balikatan exercises involve over 14,000 troops and simulated island defenses — moves Beijing says threaten regional peace. Chinese officials accuse the Philippines of colluding with foreign powers and warn the drills will disrupt stability and economic growth. As Australia, Japan, and others join or observe the war games, China warns: “Those who play with fire will get burned.” The Luzon Strait — near Taiwan — is now the center of global attention.

Duterte reportedly sought asylum in China amid fears of an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest. China has denied media reports that former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte sought asylum in the country before his arrest on March 11, 2025. Beijing's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, stated that neither Duterte nor his family submitted an asylum request. Duterte was detained in Manila following an ICC warrant for crimes against humanity related to his controversial war on drugs, which led to thousands of extrajudicial killings.
