A Chinese Coast Guard ship sails in the South China Sea, May 16, 2024. /CFP
The China Coast Guard (CCG) said on Monday that it has taken action in accordance with the law against a Philippine supply ship that illegally entered the waters adjacent to Ren'ai Jiao of China's Nansha Islands.
At 5:59 a.m., a Philippine supply vessel, in disregard of repeated stern warnings from the Chinese side, deliberately and dangerously approached Chinese vessels navigating normally in adjacent waters of Ren'ai Jiao in an unprofessional manner. This violated the International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea, the CCG said in a statement.
The act led to a slight collision, for which the responsibility lies entirely with the Philippine side, the statement added.
China has more than once urged the Philippines to face the facts, honor its word, stop infringement and provocations, and return to the right track of properly settling maritime differences through negotiation and consultation.
