The Philippines condemns ‘illegal’ actions by Chinese ships in South China Sea

On Friday, the Philippines strongly condemned the "illegal" actions of Chinese ships in the South China Sea, following alleged interference by these ships in a resupply mission. 

The National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea, comprising key Philippine government agencies, stated that it "vehemently condemns the unlawful, aggressive, and destabilizing behavior" of Chinese coastguards and their ships in these waters.
