China has begun a
construction project in the disputed
Spratly Islands, drawing a formal
protest from the Philippines, which
said the move violates a longstanding
pledge not to build on any of the South
China Sea's contested islands.
The project is the latest example of
Beijing's increasingly assertive
behavior in the South China Sea
, a week after it boldly deployed a large
oil rig, guarded by a flotilla of ships, to
disputed waters east of Vietnam.
That action sparked anti-Chinese
protests and violence against factories
in Vietnam, and prompted U.S.
Secretary of State John Kerry to
criticize Beijing's "aggressive" and
"provocative" moves.
