Chinese aggression threat to peace – US

on the incident.

THE United States Department of State (DOS) on Sunday, August 6 said the recent harassment of Philippine vessels by the China Coast Guard "directly threatened" regional peace and stability.

The department said it stands with Manila amid the "dangerous actions."

The United Kingdom, through its embassy in Manila, shared the U.S. view.

"Such action poses serious risks to regional peace and stability. [The] UK stands steadfast in its commitment to international law, in particular Unclos, in the South China Sea," the embassy wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

The embassy of Canada in the Philippines said "continuing acts of intimidation and coercion by the PRC (People's Republic of China) against its neighbors undermine safety, security and stability across the region, and raise the risks of grave miscalculation."

The Chinese Embassy has yet to issue a statement
