why why why is this is not considered an armed attack? using water as a weapon, damaging properties and injured civilian is completely an Armed

[deano_bites]

This female is very lucky to report on this story and play with water canon.

This is within Philippines EEZ and China illegally claims it as their territorial waters. Just imagine the things that they can do if they fully controlled the area.

[Tellmewhynow]

this is like a weapon considering the damage

[AnshiNoWara]

Mark my words. Maybe one day china will claim the solar system and say its ancient territory.

China is thinking that having many boats means they should own more sea. More boat, more sea😂😂😂

[marcusaurelius]

The PH is not claiming anything.

In 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration ruled in favor of the Philippines against China's claims in the South China Sea. The tribunal found that China's nine-dash line claim had no legal basis under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

We will show to the world that Filipino people loves PEACE NOT WAR. THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO ASSERT OUR RIGHTS, OUR OWN EEZ OVER THIS AREA PEACEFULLY AND WITH GOD'S HELP AND MERCY WE WILL PREVAIL.

Why does a British reporter just happen to be on every single one of these Filipino boats?😂

[yonghuachen]

Philippine is so close to China, yet never colonized by China. Instead colonized by European and US for hundreds of years

The Chinese just like the Arabs always look so tough when fighting against unarmed opponents. Such brave and strong men.

Sad how the US aircraft carrier passes without any a this BS happening to it 👀👀

[petervote]

Remember the old days when we were young and used to have water canon fights? Life was simpler back then.

[ayenlee]

Let's start to boycot all Chinese products and brands all over the world...Let's us unite and teach Chinese people how to be human...

[liuqichao]

Since the news also states that this is a disputed area, what is the Philippines doing? Why doesn't the news provide the full context of the situation? Why are they stopping those supply ships? Because those supply ships are attempting to transport construction materials in the disputed area, intending to transform shamelessly parked Philippine warships into permanent fortifications! So, who is really disrupting peace and engaging in provocations?

Philippines lost a water fight, and now is crying.
