The South China Sea is heating up again. Here’s why this latest standoff matters. China and the Philippines have witnessed yet another dangerous confrontation in the South China Sea after the Philippine Coast Guard released footage showing a Chinese vessel firing a water cannon and dragging a rope to force Philippine government ships away near Scarborough Shoal. Beijing defended its actions, while Manila accused China of carrying out illegal and aggressive acts. The latest clash follows another confrontation earlier this week that left a Filipino sailor injured and prompted strong remarks from the United States.
