Following Chinese block Filipino boat, Philippines foreign minister calls for South China Sea restraint

After Two Chinese aircrafts landed on disputed reefs and Beijing's coast guard reportedly blocked a Filipino boat from a contested shoal, Phillippines Foreign Minister Perfecto Yasay said on Friday that the Philippines call on all parties to exercise restraint. Yasay added that the Philippines is committed to a peaceful resolution and will continue to engage concerned parties to reduce regional tensions.

 

The chinese act of defiance came after a landmark ruling had previously found China's vast claims in the South China Sea legally baseless.
