Maritime face-off: Philippines mulls expelling Beijing envoy

The Philippines is considering expelling the Chinese Ambassador following tense confrontations between their vessels in the disputed South China Sea. Videos show Chinese ships blasting water cannon at Philippine boats during resupply missions. There was also a collision between Philippine and Chinese boats. The Chinese Coast Guard accused the Philippine boat of deliberately hitting its vessel. Friction between the two countries has increased since the pro-US president took office. The contested waters have become a naval flashpoint for China-US relations.
