Philippines denounces China's 'floating barrier' in South China Sea

The Philippines has condemned China for installing a "floating barrier" in a disputed area of the South China Sea, preventing Filipino fishermen from entering and fishing in the Scarborough Shoal. China claims 90% of the South China Sea, overlapping with the exclusive economic zones of several other countries. Tensions have risen since the new Philippine president took office, and this latest incident further exacerbates the ongoing maritime dispute between the two nations.
