Philippines inaugurates new monitoring base in disputed South China Sea

The Philippines inaugurates a new coast guard monitoring base in the disputed South China Sea, aiming to expand joint patrols with the United States and Australia to counter China's ‘pure bullying.’ Tensions have escalated, with high-seas faceoffs between Chinese and Philippine ships raising concerns of a larger conflict, prompting the US to emphasize its commitment to defend the Philippines in case of an armed attack in the South China Sea.
