China has issued a regulation that pushes the arrest of civilians in the South China Sea following the Philippine civilian mission to the West Philippine Sea that ended on Friday.The China Coast Guard can detain trespassers without trial, the South China Morning Post reported on Thursday, citing a regulatory document of Beijing set to take effect in June."Foreigners suspected of illegally passing China's borders can be held for up to 60 days," according to the media report.
Tarriela said he does not think China is serious in arresting civilians in the area because many affected countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia would also criticize its actions.Aside from this, Tarriela said that it can be considered harassment if China arrests civilians from other countries.
