Defining the News
The international community has strongly condemned the latest unruly behavior displayed by China, including the ‘ramming and towing’ of Philippine vessels conducting resupply mission at the Ayungin Shoal, also known as Second Thomas Shoal, in the West Philippine Sea.
Echoing the same sentiment, European Union Ambassador to the Philippines Luc Veron stated, “these actions have caused harm, damaged Philippine vessels, and disrupted lawful maritime operations in the Philippine exclusive economic zone.” In a post on X , Japan likewise reaffirmed its alliance with the Philippines and vowed to cooperate in “maintaining and enhancing the free and open international order based on the rule of law.”
The statement came after Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson Commodore Jay Tarriela said the People’s Liberation Army-Navy , China Coast Guard , and Chinese Maritime Militia vessels “engaged in dangerous maneuvers” during a resupply mission to BRP Sierra Madre.
