The United States supports the Philippines in calling on China "to end its provocative actions and respect international law in the South China Sea," the State Department said in a statement on Friday.

The Philippines last week lodged a new diplomatic protest against China's maritime activities within Manila's 200-mile exclusive economic zone.
