Tensions in the South China Sea have erupted once again after a maritime clash between Chinese and Philippine vessels near the disputed Second Thomas Shoal, also known as Tiexian Jiao.
The incident, confirmed by both sides, involved a collision in contested waters.
Beijing has issued a stern warning, threatening a "resolute response" if Manila continues what it calls "provocations." China's Foreign Ministry accused the Philippines of violating its sovereignty and breaching the 2002 Declaration on Conduct in the region.
Meanwhile, the U.S. has condemned China's actions as aggressive, escalating geopolitical friction in the region.

Tensions surged near Sandy Cay on May 22 as Chinese Coast Guard vessels sideswiped and blasted Philippine research ships with water cannons. China slammed the mission as “illegal,” warning of further action, and accused the US of using the Philippines to provoke Beijing in the South China Sea. The Philippines condemned China’s “aggressive interference,” reporting vessel damage and safety threats. Sandy Cay is part of the disputed Spratly Islands, also claimed by Vietnam and Taiwan. The incident adds fuel to the ongoing maritime conflict and challenges a 2016 arbitration ruling.

A fresh maritime flashpoint erupted in the South China Sea as China accused the Philippines of an "illegal incursion" near the disputed Zhubi Jiao and Tiexian Jiao reefs. The China Coast Guard reported that two Philippine ships entered the contested waters without permission, with some personnel allegedly landing on a Chinese-claimed reef. Tensions escalated when one Philippine vessel reportedly ignored multiple warnings and collided with a Chinese ship. Beijing slammed the actions as a “severe violation” of its sovereignty, vowing to continue enforcement operations.
