The Philippines refute Chinas claims of indisputable sovereignty over South China Sea islands

필리핀, 중국의 남중국해 영유권 주장 거부 긴장 고조 China on Tuesday claimed “indisputable sovereignty“ over islands in the South China Sea, after the Philippines “questioned“ a proposal from Beijing regarding the handling of disputes in the region. Earlier the same day the Philippines' foreign ministry said China's proposals undermined international law and were against national interests. China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin argued that China's plans were submitted with “sincerity and goodwill“, saying the Philippines' “regrettable“ response spoiled the “atmosphere of communication and cooperation between the two sides.” Tensions between China and the Philippines have been escalating with frequent clashes between coast guards and civilian ships from both countries in the contested resource-rich South China Sea. #Philippines #China #South_China_Sea #Refute #필리핀 #중국 #남중국해 #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook : 📣 Twitter : 📣 Homepage : 2024-03-13, 09:00 (KST)
