US and Philippine provocations are deliberately fueling tensions over unresolved territorial disputes in the South China Sea.
The Philippines and the United States begin an annual military exercise that will include a coordinated sail in the South China Sea and other drills set in the Southeast Asia country's northern provinces, amid China's aggressive acts against Philippine vessels in the sea.
The exercises will cross the territorial waters of the Philippines, which are located roughly 22 kilometers off its coast.
Thousands of Filipino and American troops will kick off joint military exercises in the Philippines on Monday, as Beijing's growing assertiveness in the region raises fears of a conflict.
