China, Philippines ships collide in South China Sea | DW News

China claims almost all of the South China Sea, including the Second Thomas Shoal. Several Southeast Asian states have made conflicting and sometimes overlapping claims in the South China Sea. Beijing rejected a 2016 ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague that said that China's claims did not have any basis under international law. In July, China and the Philippines reached a "provisional arrangement" aimed at ending maritime confrontations near the Second Thomas Shoal, allowing Manila to resupply the atoll. The Philippines deliberately ran aground the Sierra Madre ship on the Second Tomas Shoal in 1999 in order to assert Manila's sovereignty over the area. Filipino troops are stationed on the shipwreck and require regular resupply.

Lol their own video clearly shows the Chinese vessel intentionally ramming the other vessel.

There are no historical Chinese artifacts or ancient Chinese palaces found in those parts of the sea to prove Chinese inhabition—none! The only reason China is claiming the entire South China Sea is because of illogical and childish reasoning: that it's Chinese territory because their ancient Chinese ancestors fished there! What? If we used the same logic, India could technically claim the entire Indian Ocean because, technically, ancient Indian fishermen fished there. The same applies to other seas and oceans in the world—countries whose ancient ancestors used to fish there could claim the entire sea. China is acting like a clown, with clownish logic.. Philippines claim is base of international maritime law its part of Philippines exclusive economic zones

Charge China for the repair costs. It’s illegal, according to international law, for China to be there in the first place.

Pekín en su Política expansionista está tensando demasiado la cuerda, aparte de con la India, Nepal …
En la Zona Marítima con Filipinas, Vietnam, Japón, Corea del Norte, Tailandia, Nueva Zelanda, Australia, …
Y cómo Taiwán no están Solos frente al Gobierno Chino, que solo cuenta con Correa del Norte, y parcialmente con Irán y el Kremlin…
Espero que después de lo que hicieron con el Tíbet… recapaciten.
