France challenges China's dominance in South China Sea

Patricia Lourdes Viray (philstar.com) - June 8, 2018 - 12:44pm

MANILA, Philippines — Staying true to its commitment to uphold freedom of navigation in the disputed South China Sea, France might be leading other European nations to stand up against China's aggression in the region.

China, however, continues to guard international ships passing through the South China Sea, which they claim as their own.

A Chinese warship recently challenged a French military vessel conducting an operation near Beijing's outposts in the contested waterway, according to Hudson Institute senior fellow Jonas Parello-Plesner.

In an article published in The Wall Street Journal, Plesner narrated how the Chinese frigates and corvettes followed the French ship passing through the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea.
