The United States will stand by the Philippines in the face of intimidation and coercion in the South China Sea, US Vice President Kamala Harris said on Tuesday while visiting the Palawan island in disputed waters.On board a Philippine coastguard vessel docked in Puerto Princesa Bay, Harris said the United States and the broader international community “have a profound stake in the future of this region”.Harris’s Palawan stop was part of a three-day visit to one of the US’s oldest security allies in Asia, which is also central to its bid to counter China’s increasingly assertive policies in the South China Sea and towards Taiwan.
