Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo on Wednesday said the Philippines will not recognize China’s new regulation allowing its Coast Guard to detain alleged trespassers over waters which it claims jurisdiction.
This follows reports from Chinese media that Beijing adopted a measure permitting the Chinese Coast Guard to interrogate and detain for up to 60 days foreigners accused of illegally passing its waters.“And what’s even more worrying is that it doesn’t only affect the Philippines. It will affect every country in the world, theoretically,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Foreign Affairs Secretary said the Philippines’ efforts to assert its sovereignty over the waters, as based on international law, is being “hampered” and thus resulting in tension.
