Philippines Rejects China's Claim of US Warship Intrusion in South China Sea Amid Increased Chinese Military Activity

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) rejected China's claim that a U.S. Navy warship illegally entered waters near Sabina Shoal in the South China Sea. This comes as Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense tracked 29 Chinese military aircraft and 15 naval vessels, with 23 aircraft crossing the Taiwan Strait median line.
