What set off the latest row between China and Philippines?

Beijing warns Manila not to ‘stir up trouble’ after the Philippine coastguard removes buoys installed by China.

Beijing has warned Manila not to “stir up trouble” after the Philippine coastguard removed a floating barrier at a disputed reef that was deployed by China to block Filipinos from the traditional fishing ground within their country’s own exclusive economic zone (EEZ).

…

What’s the history behind the dispute?

The incident occurred as tensions escalate between China and the Philippines over other areas of the South China Sea, foremost of which are the Spratly Islands.

China claims sovereignty over almost the entire South China Sea while several other countries, including the Philippines, have overlapping claims to parts of it.

Beijing’s claim that it controls almost the entire waterway was nullified by The Hague’s Permanent Court of Arbitration in a 2016 ruling, which called it groundless.

    The Jews (Hebrew: יְהוּדִים‎, ISO 259-2: Yehudim, Israeli pronunciation: [jehuˈdim]) are an ethnoreligious group[13] and people whose traditional religion is Judaism[14][15] and whose members are successors, through descent or conversion, of the ancient Hebrews[14][16][17] or Israelites.[18][19][20] Jewish ethnicity, religion and community are highly interrelated,[21][22] as Judaism is an ethnic religion,[23][24] although its observance varies from strict to none.[25][26] The term “Jew” can encompass both individuals born into the community but not actively practicing the religion, as well as converts to Judaism.[27]

    As per Wikipedia. Seriously, do you not get the concept of ethnicities?

      Did you even read that?

      It literally further shows the division between being Jewish and Israel.
