The Philippine Coast Guard has accused the Chinese patrol vessels from intercepting two Philippine ships in the South China Sea. The move is very dangerous.
According to Agence France -Presse, the Philippine Coast Guard said on Wednesday (July 5) that the interception incident occurred on June 30, when a dilapidated Philippine patrol ship was mooring in AyunjinjinReefs (known as Renai Reef) perform routine tasks and provide supplies to the Marine Corps.
When the patrol ship was close to Ayunjin Reef, the Philippine Coast Guard ship assigned to escort the naval mission was intercepted by two Chinese patrol ships.
A spokesman for the West Philippine Sea Coast Guard, Jay Tarriela, said that one of the Chinese vessels was only 100 yards (about 90 meters) from the Philippine warship ship, forcing Philippine vessels to decelerate to avoid collision.
Tarriera means that China is only very dangerous to intercept the Philippine ship at this distance, because two warships can easily collide because of this.He said that at the time, the Chinese patrol ship even crossed the Philippine warships and made dangerous actions many times.
A similar interception incident also occurred in April this year. At that time, the Chinese patrol ship was only less than 45 meters away from the Philippine vessels, and the two warships almost had a collision accident.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Mao Ning said at the time that Renai Reef was part of the Nansha Islands in China, and accused the Philippine vessels with reporters rushing into the sea of Renai Reef.And take the opportunity to speculate.
