Philippines Files Nautical Chart for Scarborough Shoal with United Nations

The Philippines officially filed its nautical chart for Scarborough Shoal with the United Nations, defining territorial sea baselines and a 24-nautical-mile contiguous zone. The move has drawn immediate condemnation from Beijing, which rejected the filing as illegal, and from opposition parties in Taiwan, who accused their government of failing to defend its own claims. The filing increases diplomatic friction over the reef, which is claimed by Manila, Beijing, and Taipei, following recent maritime clashes.
