We are committed to upholding the highest\u200b standards\u2064 of journalism and ensuring that \u200bour readers have access\u2063 to the truth.<\/p>\n<p>The recent incident involving Chinese ships ramming into Philippine vessels in the\u200c South China Sea is a clear violation of international law. The deliberate interference by the People&#8217;s \u200bRepublic of China Coast Guard and maritime\u200d militia has endangered the safety of Philippine ships and\u2064 obstructed \u200dtheir freedom of navigation.<\/p>\n<p>The United States, as \u2063a friend and ally of the Philippines, stands \u200bfirmly with the Philippine government in condemning these dangerous and unlawful actions. Our mutual defense treaty with \u2064the Philippines reaffirms our \u200bcommitment to their\u200d security and well-being, and we will continue to provide\u2062 ongoing support.<\/p>\n<p>The incident took place near Second \u200dThomas Shoal\u200b in the Spratly Islands, an area where China has been attempting to isolate Philippine military outposts. However, \u2063it is important to note that Second Thomas Shoal is well within the Philippine exclusive economic zone and on their continental shelf, as confirmed by an international tribunal&#8217;s decision in 2016. China&#8217;s claim \u200cthat \u2063the Philippine ships trespassed into their\u2064 waters is baseless and contrary to international law.<\/p>\n<p>This incident is not an isolated case but rather\u2064 part\u2062 of \u2063a pattern of provocative actions by China in the South China Sea. China&#8217;s assertiveness in enforcing\u200b its \u2063expansive and \u2064unlawful maritime claims poses a threat\u2064 to regional stability and undermines the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/china-reminded-of-us-defense-treaty-after-striking-philippine-vessels\/\" title=\"China reminded of US defense treaty after attacking Philippine vessels.\">rule-based\u200d international \u200border<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty extends to armed attacks on Philippine \u200carmed \u2063forces, public vessels, and aircraft in the \u200bSouth China Sea. This treaty underscores our commitment to the security and sovereignty of the \u2063Philippines in the face \u200bof any hostile actions.<\/p>\n<p>While U.S. influence may have declined\u200c in Southeast Asia in recent years, countries like the Philippines and \u2063Singapore remain strong\u2063 areas\u2063 of influence for the United\u200b States. We understand that some allies may have concerns \u200cabout the extent\u2064 of\u2064 U.S. support given the challenges faced \u200cby the Biden administration and the \u2064nation&#8217;s declining strength. However, rest assured that our commitment to the Philippines remains steadfast.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the U.S. State Department pledges ongoing support for\u200d the Philippines in the aftermath of the \u200brecent \u200dChinese ship ramming incident. We condemn the dangerous and unlawful actions of the People&#8217;s Republic of China and\u200c stand ready to assist the Philippines in upholding international \u200dlaw and\u2064 ensuring regional peace and stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US State Department reaffirmed its commitment to the Philippines following the recent clash between Chinese and Philippine ships in the South China Sea.
