The AFP called on China to stop its 'dangerous and offensive' actions in the West Philippine Sea.
MANILA — The Philippine military on Monday called on Beijing to stop its "dangerous and offensive" actions in the West Philippine Sea, after a Chinese ship allegedly shadowed and tried to block a Philippine Navy vessel during a resupply mission.
"These dangerous and offensive maneuvers by China's PLAN not only risk collision but also directly endanger the lives of maritime personnel from both sides," AFP chief of staff Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. said in a statement. The National Security Council said the Philippines would continue to assert its sovereign rights in the West Philippine Sea and undertake resupply missions, despite China's harassment.
Malaya said the Philippines would continue to enforce international and domestic laws over Pag-asa island, following reports that the area was being "subjected to Chinese law enforcement."
