China and the Philippines have reached a temporary agreement on the South China Sea, indicating a potential softening in Beijing's diplomatic stance. The agreement comes in the wake of the 20th Central Committee's Third Plenum; an important Chinese Communist Party meeting that occurs every five years and just a month after the Philippine military reported that China's coast guard used powerful water cannons to block supplies from reaching Philippine navy personnel. ABC’s Chinese reporter Bang Xiao tells The World’s Beverley O’Connor countries around the South China sea are closely watching what’s going on between Beijing and Manila.
