Beijing and Manila have had several high profile skirmishes in disputed waters.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Mao Ning said the US must not enable and encourage the Philippines’ illegal claims.
“The US is not party to the South China Sea issue, it has no right to get involved in a problem between China and the Philippines,” said ministry spokesman Mao Ning in addressing a question on the US saying it will defend the Philippines. US president Joe Biden said yesterday at the White House that America’s commitment to Philippines defence remains “iron-clad”, after accusing China of acting “dangerously and unlawfully” in the South China Sea.
