Philippines and China trade blame over South China Sea ship collision

ai generated text

China and the Philippines have accused each other of intentionally ramming their coast guard vessels in the disputed South China Sea. The Philippines claims a Chinese ship deliberately rammed its vessel, while China accuses the Philippines of unprofessional and dangerous maneuvering. The incident occurred in the Sabina Shoal area, located 140km west of the Philippine island of Palawan. Both countries have levelled charges against each other, with China stating it will take steps to prevent further provocation.

    1. At 12:06, the Philippine ship No. 9701 deliberately collided with the Chinese ship No. 5205, which was normally enforcing rights and law enforcement, in an unprofessional and dangerous manner, resulting in a collision. The responsibility lies entirely with the Philippines.

    1. This is the latest in a series of dangerous and escalatory actions by the P.R.C..
    2. The P.R.C.'s unlawful claims of 'territorial sovereignty' over ocean areas where no land territory exists, and its increasingly aggressive actions to enforce them, threaten the freedoms of navigation and overflight of all nations.
    3. On multiple occasions throughout August 2024, (China) has aggressively disrupted lawful Philippine aerial and maritime operations in the South China Sea, including at Sabina Shoal.
