A Chinese defense ministry spokesperson said on Thursday (August 29) that China was committed to managing its differences with the Philippines in the South China Sea but that its patience is "limited."

In an incident near the Sabina Shoal last Sunday (August 25), the Philippine South China Sea task force said Chinese vessels rammed and used water cannons against a Philippine Bureau of Fisheries ship transporting food, fuel and medical supplies to Filipino fishermen.

Tensions between the two countries have risen in recent weeks following a string of clashes and incidents on air and at sea at the disputed Sabina Shoal in the South China Sea. China claims sovereignty over nearly all of the South China Sea, including areas claimed by the Philippines.
