China accuses Philippines of deliberating crashing into ship after vessels collide
Monday, 19 August 2024 China and the Philippines have blamed each other after a collision between their coastguard ships, in a new flashpoint between the countries.
The Philippine government says two of its coast guard ships were damaged in collisions with Chinese vessels that were conducting "unlawful and aggressive manoeuvres" near a disputed South China Sea reef. For its part, Beijing accuses Manila's ships of having "seriously violated" China's sovereignty...
China has deployed its aircraft carrier Shandong and an electronic surveillance ship to the Western Pacific in a direct response to the US-Philippines Balikatan drills and the unprecedented deployment of ship-sinking missiles in Luzon Strait. The US Navy's USS Nimitz is also active in the region. Beijing warned that any military collusion targeting China’s interests will face consequences. With 9,000 US and 5,000 Filipino troops participating, tensions in the South China Sea are at a boiling point, signaling a potential confrontation in the Taiwan Strait corridor.

Tensions are escalating in the Asia-Pacific as China slams the U.S.-Philippines joint military drills near Taiwan. The 2025 Balikatan exercises involve over 14,000 troops and simulated island defenses — moves Beijing says threaten regional peace. Chinese officials accuse the Philippines of colluding with foreign powers and warn the drills will disrupt stability and economic growth. As Australia, Japan, and others join or observe the war games, China warns: “Those who play with fire will get burned.” The Luzon Strait — near Taiwan — is now the center of global attention.

Duterte Arrest: As the ICC’s arrest case against former President Rodrigo Duterte escalates, the Philippine Senate launches a high-stakes hearing. Senator Imee Marcos takes center stage, grilling key Cabinet ministers on their stance and involvement. Tensions rise within the administration as the country awaits a pivotal decision that could shape the future of Philippine democracy, international law, and Duterte’s legacy.

Retired Supreme Court Justice Adolfo Azcuna told senators that former President Duterte's arrest and surrender to the ICC may have bypassed a critical legal step—court presentation under Philippine law. Azcuna warned the missing procedure could be seen as “abuse of process” by the ICC and called on the Supreme Court to determine its legality. He raised concerns of “extrajudicial rendition,” urging a review ahead of the ICC’s pretrial in September 2025. Duterte faces charges over drug war killings linked to 43 murders, and risks life imprisonment if convicted.
