Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. issued a warning to China during a security forum in Singapore, cautioning against aggressive actions in the South China Sea. The warning came in response to escalating clashes between Chinese patrol ships and Philippine boats in the disputed territory. Marcos stated that any Filipino deaths resulting from China’s actions would be considered close to an “act of war,” prompting concerns of a potential conflict in the region. The US, bound by a defense treaty with the Philippines, has reiterated its commitment to its allies and expressed support for the Philippines. Both China and the US have indicated a desire to maintain open communication channels and work towards stabilizing their relationship amid rising tensions.
