Philippines shifts focus to protecting territory as tensions between China and US increase
Fox News
The president of the Philippines said the military will shift its focus to protecting the country as tensions between the U.S. and China intensify.
The Philippines condemned the Feb. 6. incident in one of the more than 200 diplomatic protests it has filed against Beijing’s increasingly aggressive actions in the disputed waterway since last year.
China has accused the Philippines of intruding into its territory and said its coast guard used a harmless laser to track the Philippine vessel. China claims the South China Sea virtually in its entirety.
