Fox News
Following aggressive maneuvers by China in the South China Sea, the U.S. said it "stands' with the Philippines in upholding a "rules-based" maritime order.
On Friday, the Philippines accused China of "aggressive tactics" following an incident last Sunday when a Chinese coast guard ship caused a near collision by blocking a Philippine patrol vessel in a disputed shoal of the South China Sea.
China claims sovereignty over the majority of the South China Sea, including parts of the exclusive economic zones of the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia.
