For the second time in a week, Philippine and Chinese ships have collided in the disputed South China Sea, marking a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries. The latest incident involved aggressive maneuvers and the use of water cannons by Chinese coast guard ships against a Philippine fisheries vessel.
