China-Philippines Maritime Tensions
At around 9: 00 a.m. on July 20, a small China Coast Guard
patrol boat was conducting a routine patrol in the waters near China's Ren'ai Jiao,
the illegally grounded Philippine vessel No. 57 deployed two rubber boats.
Ignoring our multiple clear warnings,
they approached rapidly in a dangerous manner and crowded and rammed
the Chinese patrol boat.
The Chinese side, in accordance with laws and regulations,
issued verbal warnings, maneuvered,
and took reciprocal countermeasures to control and stabilize the situation.
We demand that the Philippine side immediately stop its infringements, provocations,
and false hype.
