South China Sea tensions: Confrontation between China and Philippines

In the South China Sea, Chinese coastguard ships have attempted to deny Philippine vessels access to Second Thomas Shoal island for the third time in five weeks.
The Philippine coastguards were escorting civilian boats carrying supplies for troops stationed on the disputed territory.

Al Jazeera’s Barnaby Lo reports on board one of the Philippine coastguard vessels in the South China Sea.

Bully china not even accept peace with its neighbours, and act like leader of global south 😂

[Stephen_Jabs]

Brave Philippines, taking on China alone, while the world just watches having doubt if MDT is real

[joseantoniorivera]

You forgot to mention that the Philippines has rights over its Exclusive Economic Zone under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Seas, and that area falls under it. Someday, we will raise the Philippine flag in these hotly contested islands. Mabuhay Pilipinas!

The Philippines should continue exposing to the world all the nasty things that China is doing in the South China Sea so that her credibility and standing may suffer.

[rinabobis]

Ayungin shoal is not a disputed area it is a sovereign jurisdiction of the Philippines. The mandate that was given and honored by the international law of the sea in the Hague in 2016 for the Philippines, under the UNCLOS which were, China the first signatory to sign its agreement being one of the supporting signatorial members of the world's UNCLOS that deals with the respect of a nation's right of 200 nautical miles EEZ. Now tell us who is lying at themeselves.

[helljumper]

[rosecris]

This is how abusive and arrogant china coast guard, this is belong to the EEZ of the Philippines

[bossnandi]

Taiwan is more civilized than China so lets support their endeavor

[chengtophengseamanvlog]

International community should act and intervene to stop this bullying at our own territory. UN member states must act now before it’s too late👹

[Youdontshushh]

China should respect other countries if they want to be respected back. The Philippines doesn't need USA to govern its OWN waters, but if the china keeps harassing filipino sailing in their own waters then, whats stopping the Philippines from asking for help from like minded countries for protection

[markanthonychua]

PRC should reflect on how they audaciously say something in the ASEAN summit and do different things with their militarized coast guard

[avatarairbinder]

China and Russia are d only 2 countries in world who draw map then claim it..😂😂

[klloydplata]

Tension in waters like this is another whole new level of crazy or craziness this days.

[experimental]

[tukmol]

Let them chase and waste their gas. Asaran lang iyan. Kung sino unang Maasar talo.

Why China is so against Philippines when it has good relations in ASEAN? It's because the Philippines is complicit in aiding the US to surround and contain China by hosting US military bases for decades! China had long ago taken note of Philippines animosity towards them.
