US backs Philippines amid South China Sea row

The United States stands
with the Philippines in the face of what it called China’s
repeated “harassment” in the South China Sea, the U.S. State
Department said on Sunday, describing China’s actions as
“dangerous” and “unlawful.”
China and the Philippines traded accusations over a
collision in disputed waters of the South China Sea as Chinese
vessels blocked Philippine boats supplying forces there on
Sunday in the latest of a series of maritime confrontations.
