US urges de-escalation as China and Philippines talk after clash in the West PH Sea

The U.S. is urging de-escalation as China and the Philippines hold talks to ease mounting tensions following their worst confrontation in the disputed West PH Sea that sparked fears of a wider conflict that could involve the United States.

There was no mention of any major agreement, however, after the daylong meeting in Manila that could prevent a repeat of the June 17 clash at Second Thomas Shoal which caused injuries to Filipino navy personnel and damaged two military boats.
