Beijing and Manila strike deal to reduce tensions in South China Sea

[Perknose]

‘Provisional’ agreement reached to allow Philippines to resupply military outpost on contested reef

" Diplomats from the two sides reached the deal over the Philippines’ resupply missions to the Sierra Madre, a rusting warship on Second Thomas Shoal, after a series of consultations in recent weeks, the Philippines’ Department of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.In remarks published after midnight, China’s foreign ministry confirmed that it had agreed to “allow” humanitarian Philippine resupply missions, but also reiterated its sovereignty claim and demand Manila tow the ship away. It also repeated its condition that China conduct “on-site verification” and said it would “supervise” each resupply mission."

^^^ How big of the Chicoms to "allow" the Phillippines access to THEIR internationally recognized shoal.

They had to do something before the Philippine military gets fed up and decides to greet them with concealed ATGMs one of these times when they attack their resupply.
