Beijing Slams Manila's 'Dangerous' Move As China, Philippines Ships Collide Again In Sabina Shoal

The Philippines and China on August 31 accused each other of intentionally ramming into each other’s coast guard ships in disputed waters of the South China Sea. The collision near the Sabina Shoal was the fifth maritime confrontation between China and the Philippines in a month. A Chinese coast guard spokesperson said a Philippine ship "deliberately collided with" a Chinese vessel near the shoal. On the other hand, Manila alleged that CCG vessel 5205 "directly and intentionally rammed the Philippine vessel" without provocation. The incident came just a day after Beijing claimed that the Philippines and the US interfered with China's scientific research on Sabina Shoal or Xianbin Reef.

Chinese Propaganda is top notch. Ironically, they are also the only one in the region who believes in their deception.

*The international law* is very clear on the South China Sea:
- parts of it belong to some ASEAN countries including the Philippines 🇵🇭,
- the rest of it is the international water,
- no part of it belongs to China🇨🇳 or Taiwan🇹🇼.

But Philippines ship was anchored, howcome a parked car collide with a moving one? 😂

[AhmetTekin]

Seriously, to gain some respect from other countries, the Chinese government needs to *stop its lies.*

[myhappyfarmtv]

They are the one chasing, blocking and ramming Manila’s ships.But they are the one crying victim.Hahaha!

We have had enough. The Philippines must accept US help Alone it cannot stand upholding the rule of law against China who is ignoring UNCLOS and international maritime laws.
Expand the Mutual Defense Treaty as needed, to be more responsive to current aggressive expansionism of China in WPS.

It is China ramming an anchored Philippines coast guard ship on Philippine Exclusive Economic Zonem

It is China's building of artificial islands military bases that destroyed coral reefs and damaged marine environment.

Facing threat of China's big navy, a multitude of militia vessels, hypersonic missiles and artificial islands military bases China built on Johnson reef, Fiery Cross reef, Subi reef, and Mischief reef, the US should deploy on Philippine sites more Typhon missile systems with tomahawk missiles crucial to Philippines' defense at the forefront of the first islands chain of defense.

China's nine-dash line claim was invalidated by UNCLOS Arbitral Decision, The ruling is final and binding to China as a signatory to UNCLOS, but China rejected the ruling and is illegally asserting sovereignty on Philippine EEZ and the South China sea.
The Philippines must strengthen defense capability, procure what it can soonest: more ships, F-16 fighter jets, TYPHON MISSILE SYSTEMS, BRAHMOS supersonic anti-ship missiles, Spyder air missiles, surveillance drones HIMARS, radar systems, submarines, and other military assets.
