Malaysia’s prime minister has spoken up in defense of his administration's ties with China and complained over alleged pressure by the United States and its allies on regional nations to take sides in the West’s strategic rivalries with Beijing.
Actually, both China and the Philippines have an agreement to allow both sides to fish there. And China has even stated regret that at one point their blockade impeded Philippine fishing boats. Additionally, there was no evidence of the Philippine claim that there was cyanide being used, though there is evidence that historically the Philippines themselves have done that.
It’s a lot more complicated than most people understand.

Plenty of evidence of unnecessarily dangerous ship maneuvers, collisions and island building though. That’s enough for me.
