💨 Abstract

On Friday, China's military conducted a patrol in the South China Sea, a day after U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reaffirmed Washington's commitment to the Philippines, a country that disputes some of Beijing's claims in the region. The Chinese spokesman criticized the Philippines for organizing joint patrols with foreign countries and disseminating illegal claims, allegedly destabilizing the area.
