French President Emmanuel Macron has launched a blistering attack on China’s aggressive maneuvers in the South China Sea, warning of growing instability as tensions with the Philippines hit a boiling point.
In a stunning diplomatic broadside, Macron not only condemned Beijing’s escalating maritime assertiveness but also took aim at what he called the “longstanding dominance” of the United States in the Indo-Pacific region.

Tensions escalated in the South China Sea after China warned the European Union to stop “provoking trouble” and stay out of its territorial disputes with the Philippines. The sharp rebuke followed EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas' visit to Manila, where she voiced concern over China's assertive actions. Beijing insisted the EU has no legal or diplomatic role in the matter, cautioning Manila not to rely on outside powers for resolution. The statement underscores China's hardened stance as geopolitical fault lines deepen in the contested maritime zone.

Tensions in the South China Sea have escalated sharply as China’s navy launched combat readiness patrols near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, a territory claimed by the Philippines. The drills, confirmed by China’s state-run Xinhua agency, were aimed at reinforcing Beijing’s control over the contested region. The provocative move follows multiple maritime confrontations and comes amid rising regional unease. Meanwhile, South Korea has reported a surge in Chinese installations in the Yellow Sea, further stoking concerns about China’s expanding maritime assertiveness.

The Philippines is making a bold military move in the South China Sea, announcing new naval bases in Subic Bay, Mindanao, and Sibutu under its ‘Horizon 3’ defense program. Amid rising tensions with China, the expansion aims to strengthen coastal security from Scarborough Shoal to the Spratlys. President Marcos emphasized the need for enhanced naval capabilities. The move also supports trilateral patrols with Indonesia and Malaysia, while rejecting Beijing’s territorial claims and interference in Philippine waters.

Tensions in the South China Sea have escalated dramatically as China deployed two H-6 nuclear-capable bombers to Woody Island in the Paracel chain — their first appearance there since 2020. Satellite images confirm the aircraft's presence between May 17 and 23, alongside Y-20 transport planes and a KJ-500 early warning aircraft, signaling a broader Chinese air operation. The strategic move comes just ahead of the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where global defense leaders, including France’s Emmanuel Macron and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, are set to speak.

The EU has raised alarms over severe disruptions caused by China’s rare earth export restrictions, which have slashed supplies to key industries, including auto manufacturing. Exports to Germany halved in April, prompting emergency talks between EU officials and China’s commerce ministry. Beijing’s opaque and security-heavy licensing system is delaying shipments and pushing prices 4–7 times higher. The U.S. has accused China of violating trade agreements, as manufacturers in both the EU and U.S. now face critical material shortages.
