Title: China Demands Advance Notice for Philippines Access to Ayungin Shoal
In a significant development, China has reportedly demanded that the Philippines provide advance notice before any Philippine vessels approach the disputed Ayungin Shoal in the South China Sea. This revelation, which comes amidst ongoing tensions in the region, underscores the complexities of the territorial disputes between the two nations.
The Philippines' Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) confirmed the demand, stating that it was made during a meeting between Chinese and Filipino officials in Manila. The DFA emphasized that the demand is a departure from the previous understanding, which allowed for "ad hoc" visits by both countries' vessels to the shoal.
This development is particularly relevant as it could potentially escalate tensions in the region, where China and several Southeast Asian countries, including the Philippines, have long-standing disputes over territorial claims in the South China Sea. The area is rich in fisheries and believed to hold vast oil and gas reserves.
The Philippines, which has been vocal about its territorial claims in the South China Sea, has previously accused China of harassing Filipino vessels in the area. The latest demand from China could be seen as a further attempt to assert its control over the disputed waters.
The Philippines has not yet responded publicly to China's demand, but the issue is expected to be a topic of discussion during the upcoming Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit, where regional leaders will gather to address various issues, including the South China Sea disputes.
This new development underscores the need for diplomatic efforts to resolve the territorial disputes in the South China Sea. The international community is closely watching the situation, hoping for a peaceful resolution to prevent further escalation in the region.

China tambaloslos
The ignorant stupidity of China is becoming legendary. Philippines are acting honorably and righteous when they push back Chinas bullying and attempts of robbery. There is no other way than confrontation when it comes to China. Negotiations is a waste of time because it requires common ground between parties. China only plays its own game and always talk about the necessity for others to act properly. They don't care at all about anyone else or international law. Like Russia they want to impose their own point of view as law for others. This is of course a matter of making themselves the master of everything. China is pushing for war with every action they make. It is wise for all of Chinas neighbors to prepare and make alliances with bigger countries.
This is the Philippines EEZ. China do not have any right in any way, in any time span and in any means. CHINA SHOULD NEVER BE ON WPS
Another " Don't choke me daddy strategy of China"😂
