Countering the culture war with education and empathy | SaltWire #TransRights #HalifaxProtestMANILA -The Philippines is exploring legal options against China accusing it of destruction of coral reefs within its exclusive economic zone in the South China Sea, an allegation rejected by Beijing as an attempt to"create political drama".
The study"was prompted not only by the alleged destruction of reefs but also by other incidents and the overall situation in the West Philippine Sea," Guevarra told Reuters, adding that a report and recommendation would be sent to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr and the foreign ministry. Manila refers to the part of the South China Sea that it claims as the West Philippine Sea.
Any move to pursue arbitration would be highly controversial after the Philippines' landmark 2016 victory in a case against China that concluded Beijing's claim to sovereignty over most of the South China Sea had no basis under international law. "We urge the relevant party of the Philippines to stop creating a political drama from fiction," its embassy in Manila said late on Thursday, quoting Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning.

US firm AXT says China unit has initial export permits for key chipmaking metalsU.S. semiconductor wafer maker AXT Inc said its Chinese subsidiary Beijing Tongmei had received initial export permits for shipping gallium arsenide and germanium substrates - compounds key to chipmaking - to certain customers. California-headquartered AXT, which has manufacturing facilities in China, said in July that it would seek permits to keep exporting gallium and germanium substrate products from China after Beijing abruptly announced it would impose export controls on the niche metals from August. The controls mark the latest salvo in an escalating war over access to high-tech microchips between China and the United States, and come as Washington considers new restrictions on the shipment of high-tech microchips to China.
