Citable conflict snapshot

China → Philippines

Current canonical assessment from HaveTheyInvadedYet.com

Canonical status

Escalation temperature

16/100

Separate model; not the canonical status or a probability.

Current explanation

China has not invaded the Philippines. The temperature is elevated because South China Sea incidents around coast guard pressure, resupply missions, disputed reefs, and alliance deterrence can escalate quickly, even when the activity remains below a conventional invasion.
