A Chinese coast guard ship sails past a Philippine fishing boat near the Chinese-controlled Scarborough Shoal in disputed waters of the South China Sea on Sept. 20, 2023.
ensions over the South China Sea escalated Monday with China filing a diplomatic complaint, the Philippines summoning Beijing’s ambassador, and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordering a probe a day after vessels from both nations collided in the disputed waters.
The “dangerous, illegal, and reckless maneuvers” by Chinese ships caused damage to Philippine vessels “within our exclusive economic zone and is being taken seriously at the highest level of government,” according to a statement issued by Marcos’s office. “The country and the world must condemn the illegal and oppressive actions by the Chinese government that violate any norm in the international law,” Teodoro said.Philippine Foreign Affairs spokesperson Teresita Daza said Manila has summoned the Chinese envoy as the government makes “full use of diplomatic processes and exercising all possible actions to us.”
The vessel to be resupplied — the BRP Sierra Madre — is a World War II-era ship that was placed in Second Thomas Shoal by the Philippines in 1999 in response to China’s occupation of nearby Mischief Reef four years prior. China, however, has repeatedly urged the Philippines to remove the ship that it said was “illegally” and “deliberately” ran aground at the shoal. Beijing also considers the shoal, which it calls Ren’ai Jiao, as part of its territory.
