China seizes disputed reef in the South China Sea

China’s coastguard seized Sandy Cay, a disputed reef near the Philippines’ key outpost in the South China Sea, raising tensions during U.S.-Philippines military exercises.

China planted its flag on the reef, claiming sovereignty for the first time in years.

Although no permanent occupation is reported yet, the move heightens fears of future Chinese expansion.
