Title: China's Coast Guard Tactics Escalate in South China Sea Disputes
In the contested waters of the South China Sea, China's coast guard is employing increasingly assertive tactics to bolster its territorial claims. These actions, which include blockading Filipino fishing boats, harassing Vietnamese oil survey vessels, and sinking a Philippine boat, are raising concerns about escalating tensions in the region.
The South China Sea is a crucial maritime route for global trade, with an estimated $3.4 trillion in annual shipping passing through it. China claims nearly all of the sea, despite competing claims from several Southeast Asian nations. The coast guard's actions are seen as an attempt to intimidate these countries and assert China's dominance.
The Philippines, a key U.S. ally, has been at the forefront of these disputes. In a recent incident, a Philippine fishing boat was rammed and sunk by a Chinese coast guard vessel near the disputed Scarborough Shoal. The Philippines has lodged a diplomatic protest, but China has shown no signs of backing down.

China humiliates itself.. you are an embarrassment to the world
Well, Bluff that is creating all this happenings. Check BR FR etc..Archives! The ICJ just don’t do their homework and it is a Conspiracy.BLAME THE US
If it is "international waterway" the Chinese coast guards have as much right to be there. Sovereignty does not depend on proximity. If it is so, Hawaii should not belong to the USA; the many Indonesian islands near Malaysia and Singapore should not belong to Indonesia. There are other examples where proximity does not determine sovereignty. Historical records, treaties, old maps should be considered to determine sovereignty. UNCLOS, often quoted by the Philippines side, is about EEZ but not sovereignty. You cannot decide on sovereignty based on EEZ. Instead, sovereignty takes precedent over the EEZ. The "Tribunal at Hague" is also another one often cited by the Philippines. There is only one party involvement and this is null and void since mediation should have two parties involved. Philippines paid for the ruling because it wanted to go ahead even without China's participation, so what does that say? By docking an old ship on a disputed island to claim ownership over the island is creative but illegal. Sending construction materials to it to keep it standing is also illegal. Philippines is doing just that and play the victim when Chinese coast guards stops them.
global regions BORDERLESS FREEDOM land/water/sky for democratic NEW ERA ONE GLOBAL BODY of mortal mankind inhabitants..
GREAT DIVINE universal resources ENDOWMENT for PEACE, PROTECTION and PROSPERITY.
Very pleasing and lovely given by GOD for anyone else needs for life. NOT FOR structural devils DEADLY SIN of GLUTONY AND GREED.
This is a strategic location for China to outflank Taiwan despite this region does not belong to them. This is the reason why they have been building military bases here.
China has no respect to the international court’s decision. China has been continuously bullying Vietnamese and Filipino fishermen in this region
despite being very far from their coastline. They have been building naval and air bases here for years to control the region. Such a bully.
bs
If it happened in the United States, the United States would use artillery instead of water cannon。The Philippines is just a watchdog for the United States
The Propaganda has begun. US knows that the Filipino's are gullible and the Current Philippine Leader is soft. Filipino's thought that US would fight for them? For the fishermen? For a Shoal? Hilarious! 😂
its west philippines sea why they keep calling it south china sea,omg.since is not theirs!
那就来吧😅看看我们中国人的绝😊心😂
Im agree china invade philippine
It’s clearly stated by the name of the sea “South China Sea” !! its mean this sea is under China jurisdiction, other countries must realized this… I am being unbiased 🙏🏼
China is not the only one who is patrolling South China Sea. There are 6 countries that are claimant of Islands there called by the Philippines as Kalayaan Group of Islands. Other claimants called those island groups by other names. Philippines control 11 islands, China 7, Malaysia 6, Brunei 2, Taiwan 1 and Vietnam 29. Vietnam has more islands more than all the other claimant combine. The US is spreading fake news to make it appear that China is bad. America is ordiring the President of the Philippines Bong Bong Marcos to manufacture trouble there. The Marcos Family have Wealth under the care of US banks and its allies. If the Marcoses want it back they better do what America says.
Same as the intimidation of Chinese Jet Fighter on Poseidon Aircraft flying on international airspace.
President Joe Biden once said the history i watching. The Chinese is Greedy, manipulative, Liar and stealing from Philippines. The Chinese is invading the Philippines in secretly. How come there is a China town and Chinese Hospital in Manila and how come they have so many properties in Philippines.
CNN west Philippines sea not scs. 😅😅😅😅😅
Wedt Philippine sea not china sea
This is the result of the west empowering a communist government instead of the democratic nation.
I suppose people should know the history of this area, why these two countries claim to have the sovereignty，we don’t want to hear from the CNN or other media about it, because the whole world knows they always report from their own concerns !
See the world how china intimate neighbours because of there might. Such a greedy china
why does EVERYTHING china "builds" look EXACTLY like a US original would? THEY CANT even build a coast guard boat that looks chinese and not American, even has RED marking exactly same way US coast guard does…JESUS!
Phils is now trespassing in its own backyard and doorstep. While Chinese ships 700 miles away from China are now not trespassers but indeed robbers of the house.
China had established the nine-dash line before the independence of the Philippines and other countries, which was also recognized as legal by the United States and other countries.
中国在菲律宾等国独立前就已经确立九段线这也是美国等国承认合法的
Britain should return Falkland Islands sovereignty to Argentina
China is the new law here in ASEAN region they claims almost 90 percent of waters and ASEAn dont have any single of words againts china ..what a useless association leaving its brother philippines countering china ..useless group.. because of business offers by chinese..

China is weak, and its own oceans and islands can't be defended and are robbed by the Philippines and Vietnam.
China should get away from Philippine waters and should stop destroying the coral reefs there.
