MANILA, Philippines — The United States on Saturday joined the Philippines in urging China to cease its “provocative and dangerous actions” in the West Philippine Sea following its two separate flare deployments while a Philippine aircraft was on a patrol near Scarborough Shoal and Zamora Reef.
“The US stands firmly with the Philippines in condemning the PRC (People’s Republic of China) for launching flares at (a Philippine) aircraft operating legally near Scarborough and Subi Reefs (on) Aug 19 & 22,” US Ambassador MaryKay Carlson said in a post on X.
