On August 31 at 08:02 AM, the Philippine Coast Guard Ship 9701, which was illegally anchored in the Shin-Bin channel between China, raised its anchor and continuously engaged in provocative maneuvers around this channel. According to the international rules and regulations, the Chinese Coast Guard ship 5205 sent verbal warnings to this Philippine ship and placed it under surveillance and control.
According to Liu Dejun, the spokesman of the China Coast Guard, the Philippine vessel deliberately collided with the vessel 5205, which was carrying out its normal patrolling duties, in an unprofessional and dangerous manner, resulting in a surface collision between the two vessels. The Philippines is fully responsible for this incident.
This is the third collision between Chinese and Philippine military ships in the last month around the Shin Bin Peninsula, a peninsula that is part of the Ren Nai Islands and has been disputed by Manila and Beijing for the past thirty years.
Liu de Jun emphasized: We warn the Philippines once again to face the facts and stop dreaming. The only right way is the immediate departure of the Philippine ship from this area. The Philippines must not repeat its mistakes, fuel crises and escalate the situation, otherwise the Philippines will bear all the consequences.
Finally, he stated: China insists on its undisputed ownership of the Nansha Islands and its adjacent areas, including the Sanbin Rock. By taking all necessary measures, the Chinese Coast Guard will resolutely stand against any provocative actions and violations of our country's rights and protect China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights.
Earlier, the Chinese authorities strongly criticized Manila for its provocative behavior in the South China Sea and asked the Philippines to respect China's legitimate rights by adhering to the joint statement known as “Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea”. Even though the Philippine authorities have not had serious opposition in their official positions, it seems that they will continue their actions under the support of the United States. A duality that has raised the concerns of some experts about increasing tensions to an uncontrollable level in the region.
