Confrontation, often violent, between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea is a routine affair.

The issue here concerns sovereignty. In 2016, an arbitral tribunal ruled in favour of the Philippines but China refused to accept it. Instead, it regularly keeps flexing its muscle at sea, trying to intimidate the Philippines.

If the Chinese think they can, in today's modern era, create a new colonial empire by occupying neighboring countries' territory, they are dreaming.
The world will not stand for it.

Smart move Philippines..
The continuous media exposure of maritime activities in the South China Sea is undoubtedly drawing a strong reaction from Beijing, as public transparency shifts the Geopolitical pressure…

Excellent reporting Nithin! Remaining Indian media should do themselves a favor and take lessons on doing good, on the ground journalism.

THE REGULAR OCCURENCE OF CHINESE COST GUARD IN OUR EEZ IN THE WEST PHIL SEA IS NO LONGER BEARABLE AS THEY OFTEN TREPASSED OUR SOUVEREIGNTY OVER OUR PHIL TERRITORIES I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS CAN BE RESOLVED. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT KIND OF INTL. LAW THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT WILL ABIDE. PHIL. HAS NO OTHER WAY BUT TO FIGHT BACK WHENEVER NECESSARY AND IT IS THE ONLYWAY.
