A Chinese coast guard ship blocked a Philippine patrol vessel steaming into a disputed shoal in the South China Sea, causing a frightening near-collision in the latest act of Beijing’s aggression in the strategic waterway.
A Chinese Coast Guard ship with bow number 5201 deploys its crew on motor boats to monitor activities from two Philippine Coast Guard vessels near the Second Thomas Shoal locally known as Ayungin Shoal at the South China Sea on Sunday, April 23, 2023.
In areas occupied or controlled by China, the Philippine patrol vessels received radio warnings in Chinese and halting English, ordering them to immediately leave what the Chinese coast guard and navy radio callers claimed were Beijing’s “undisputable territories” and issuing unspecified threats for defiance.
"Since you have disregarded our warning, we will take further necessary measures on you in accordance with the laws and any consequences entailed will be borne by you,” the Chinese speaker said. Hernandez later told journalists that the “sudden and really very dangerous maneuver” by the Chinese coast guard ship had disregarded international rules on collision avoidance. He had the Philippine vessels leave the area after the encounter for the safety of the ships and personnel.
The Chinese Embassy in Manila did not immediately respond to an AP request for comment on the encounters.

It’s the latest indication of his strong backing of his country’s treaty alliance with the U.S. His order for the Philippine military to shift its focus to external defense amid China’s aggressive actions in the South China Sea falls in sync with the Biden administration’s aim of reinforcing an arc of Indo-Pacific alliances to better counter China.
