China-Philippines maritime disputes

The new PCG Commandant will be critical for sustaining reform and the Philippines' maritime security approach.

The Philippines is exploring the possibility of bringing China to another international dispute settlement organ.

Last week's water cannon incident underscores the hard limits of engagement with China – and the need for the Philippines’ to build up its military capability.

The Philippine Coast Guard has a new responsibility: providing public evidence of China’s unlawful maritime activities. What’s behind the shift?

Beijing is paying close attention to the rapid developments in the Philippines-U.S. alliance, and China is not happy with what it sees.

The Philippine president said Manila will continue to push back against China, despite his proposal for higher-level talks to rapidly address future conflicts at sea.

Although both sides have kept it low key, Chinese coast guard activities are continuing in areas claimed by Manila.

The incident close to the Philippine-occupied Thitu Island was just the latest between the two nations in the disputed South China Sea.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi was all smiles during his stop in Manila, but China-Philippine relations are likely to remain freighted with challenges.

Two Philippine ships headed for Second Thomas Shoal with food supplies for the Filipino forces there were blasted with water by Chinese coast guard vessels.

According to the Philippine government, more than 250 Chinese vessels have been spotted near six Manila-claimed islands and reefs in the disputed South China Sea.

Manila protested against the presence of hundreds of Chinese vessels near Philippine-controlled islets.
