China’s approval of a “nature reserve” at Scarborough Shoal has triggered a sharp diplomatic clash with the Philippines. Manila lodged a formal protest, asserting the reef—within its exclusive economic zone—is Philippine territory and accusing Beijing of an “illegal” power grab. China insists the shoal, which it seized in 2012, is its “inherent territory,” framing the reserve as ecological stewardship. Nearly 60 percent of global maritime trade transits the South China Sea, intensifying regional stakes. Despite a 2016 tribunal ruling rejecting China’s sweeping claims, Beijing maintains a constant coast guard presence, raising fears of escalating confrontation and possible U.S. treaty involvement.
