the fight between china and the philippines over the south china sea is nothing new. gnty over almost the entire philippine part. this region includes parts of the philippines' exclusive economic zones. malaysia and indonesia in 2016 , an arbitration tribunal clearly stated that china's claims over the south china sea have no legal basis. this is the first time that a collision has occurred twice. a number of countries have expressed their support for the philippines, including the united states. the european union describes the growing tensions as very worrying. the us also condemns china's latest aggression, citing the risk it poses filipinos have to face many challenges during their missions. washington, as a long-time ally, has confirmed that it is ready to defend monila at any time if philippine ships or aircraft come under attack. well, our new section is anglo-saxon democracy. australians voted against amendments to the constitution that would have allowed indigenous peoples, what’s wrong, to create an advisory body to discuss issues that concern them, 60% of vo
