CNN: China and Philippines accuse each other over collisions in disputed South China Sea
China and the Philippines on Sunday accused each other of causing collisions in a disputed area of the South China Sea, the latest in a string of maritime confrontations between the two countries that have heightened regional tensions.
In a statement, Philippine authorities said a Chinese Coast Guard ship carried out “dangerous blocking maneuvers” that caused it to collide with a Philippine vessel carrying supplies to troops stationed in Ayungin Shoal, also known as Second Thomas Shoal, in the Spratly Islands chain.
China’s move was “provocative, irresponsible and illegal” and “imperiled the safety of the crew” of the Philippine boats, the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea said.

DeleteThis is nothing compare to Gaza.
ReplyDeleteThe world doesn't give a shit about the gaza strip, all they talk about is Muslims and Jews, two idiots, ask if Christians and Hindus want to know about this shit? Philippines is much worse than Israel and Palestine, we are Speaking of 2 armies that exterminate bums and drug dealers without mercy, Israel and Palestine have their gangsters and supporters, unlike China and the Philippines.
DeleteSorry Filipinos, the US will not be able to help you out. The Jewish has the priority.
ReplyDeleteWell we SHOULD help the filipinos because they are our military ally. If we don't help them, what will others say? Indonesia, Malaysia, Burma?
DeleteHonestly, if there were not so many bigots here, it would be easy to see both the US and China need The Phillipines. Also, there is no reason why there can't be expansive trade treaties for the Phillipines with China and the US.
ReplyDeleteThe Philippines must be stupid because China is powerful, but China also knows that the Philippine army is strong and has killed many pirates and traffickers, so this war would be worse than Taiwan.
ReplyDeleteFilipinos are men and strong fighters, fierce fighters, and knowledgeable
