Chinese and Philippine vessels engaged in a new confrontation in the South China Sea on Friday, with Manila charging that a Chinese coast guard ship and accompanying vessels conducted dangerous maneuvers while harassing a supply ship in disputed waters. China responded that it acted appropriately under maritime law to defend what it says is its territory.
” It said a Chinese coast guard ship used a water cannon against the Philippine supply vessel M/L Kalayaan, which was en route to deliver supplies to the outpost. The resupply mission was carried out successfully despite the harassment, it said in a statement. “We firmly insist that Chinese vessels responsible for these illegal activities leave the vicinity of Ayungin Shoal immediately,” it said, adding that the Philippine Embassy in Beijing delivered a protest to the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
