Tensions Rise as Philippines Accuses China of Targeting Fishing Vessels in South China Sea

The Philippines has condemned China's "illegal and aggressive actions" in the South China Sea after its coast guard fired water cannons at a Philippine fisheries bureau vessel during a resupply mission. The incident occurred near the Scarborough Shoal, which is claimed by both countries. The Philippines called on China to cease its "aggressive activities" in the area. The United States also criticized China's behavior, stating that it violates international law and endangers lives and livelihoods. China claimed that it took "control measures" against three Philippine fishing vessels that had intruded into waters near the shoal. The incident comes ahead of the Philippines' plan to deploy a Christmas convoy to distribute gifts and provisions to residents in the South China Sea.

"Philippine Forces Discover 48 Chinese Fishing Vessels Protected by Warships in EEZ"

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) have spotted 48 Chinese fishing vessels guarded by warships in the country's Economic Exclusion Zone (EEZ) in the South China Sea. The presence of Chinese maritime assets, including China Coast Guard (CCG) ships and People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) vessels, has also been observed at Sabina Shoal. The Philippines plans to forward detailed reports to higher authorities to potentially file a diplomatic protest, reaffirming their commitment to safeguarding Philippine sovereignty and territorial rights. The area in question, including Iroquois Reef and Reed Bank, is rich in hydrocarbon resources but is subject to territorial disputes between the Philippines and China.
