Waves of war? China-Filipino sea row boiling over.
China has refuted claims that troops in the country's south are preparing for war over a territorial dispute with the Philippines. However growing warmongering rhetoric in the Chinese media is heightening tensions in the region.
The row centers on tiny islands in the South China Sea which are believed to sit on massive oil and gas reserves.
"The reports alleging that the PLA Guangzhou Military Area Command and the Navy's South China Sea Fleet have entered combat readiness are not true,"the Chinese Ministry of National Defense said in a statement on its website on Friday.
Despite the government statement there have been online reports that China ordered troops in the Guangzhou region to the second highest level of combat readiness.
