China said on Sunday that it, in accordance with the law, had stopped Philippine vessels attempting to illegally send construction materials to the military vessel illegally "grounded" at Ren'ai Jiao in the South China Sea.
The actions were taken after several rounds of dissuasion and warnings fell on deaf ears, the China Coast Guard (CCG) said in a statement.
At 6:14 a.m., a Philippine boat deliberately bumped the front of a Chinese coast guard boat in an unprofessional and hazardous way, despite advance notifications and explicit warnings, the CCG said.
To stoke the fire, at 8:13 a.m., a Philippine coast guard vessel reversed its direction in a premeditated manner, causing the collision between its tail and the starboard of a mooring Chinese fishing ship, according to the CCG.
The CCG said the Philippines' actions seriously violated the international rules for avoiding collisions at sea and jeopardized the navigation safety of Chinese ships.
The operations of the CCG were professional, standardized, legitimate and legal, and the responsibility lies entirely with the Philippines, added the statement.
