“China’s state media warned that a ‘counterstrike’ against the Philippines was inevitable if it continues to provoke Beijing in the South China Sea, potentially Asia’s biggest military troublespot.  A front-page commentary said that the Philippines had committed ‘seven sins’ in the South China Sea.  These include the ‘illegal occupation’ of the Spratly Islands, inviting foreign capital to engage in oil and gas development in the disputed waters and promoting the ‘internationalization’ of the waters, said the commentary. The Philippines has called on the United States to act as a ‘patron’, while ASEAN has become an ‘accomplice,’ said the commentary.”
