THE United States ambassador to the Philippines and at least 10 of her counterparts in Manila quickly called out China at the weekend for engaging Philippine vessels in “dangerous” sea maneuvers in the West Philippine Sea.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations and China agreed in 2002 to work towards creating a Code of Conduct intended to reduce the risk of conflict in the South China Sea (SCS).
