NEW YORK — The Pentagon has condemned China's recent actions against Filipino troops in the West Philippine Sea where one service member was severely hurt, expressing fear that it could result in more violence."This kind of behavior is provocative, it's reckless, it's unnecessary, and it could lead to something bigger and more violent.
