Tensions flare once again in the South China Sea as China’s Coast Guard unleashes water cannons on Philippine ships near the disputed Scarborough Shoal. Beijing accuses Manila of “illegal intrusion” and even ramming a vessel, while the Philippines insists it was on a humanitarian mission to support local fishermen. With both sides trading accusations of harassment and propaganda, analysts warn the shoal could become the next big flashpoint in a $3 trillion trade route. Is this just another clash at sea — or the start of a larger confrontation?
