BEIJING/MANILA: China's navy conducted a patrol in the South China Sea on Tuesday (April 29), saying that the Philippines has been creating "disturbances", as the Filipino and US air forces conducted their own joint mission above the disputed waterway.
China, which claims almost the entirety of the South China Sea, has been involved an increasingly tense stand-off with the Philippines in the waters there, as both seek to assert their sovereignty claims.
