(Manila Composite Electric) The Philippines has accused China of law enforcement officials that "unreasonable attacks" of Vietnamese fishermen in the South China Sea's sovereign dispute waters, and said that this shocking behavior should not occur in international relations.
Philippine National Security Consultant Arnold Auo issued a statement on Friday (October 4) to support Vietnam, indicating that it would condemn the bad behavior of China with Vietnam.
He said: "We strongly condemn the official Chinese maritime official on September 29 in the Paracelislands (China known as the Xisha Islands and Vietnam).The behavior of the use of force using civilians openly violated international law. "
The Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued a statement saying: "The Philippines has always condemned the use of force, aggression and intimidation in the South China Sea, and emphasized that all parties must be self -restrained."
China and many Southeast Asian countries, including the Philippines and Vietnam, have sovereignty disputes in the South China Sea, and maritime disputes occur from time to time.A few days ago, Vietnam accused China of law enforcement officials' brutal attacks on a Vietnamese fishing boat, causing 10 crew members to be injured and protesting to China.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China responded that the relevant departments stopped illegal fishing vessels that stopped illegal fishing in accordance with the law, and said that "on -site operations were carried out in a professional and restrained manner, and no one was injured."
For the conflict between the South China Sea from time to time, the spokesman for the Philippine Coast Guard said that other Southeast Asian countries remained silent about China's "illegal operations", which was not conducive to peace in the region.
The Philippines daily reporters reported that while speaking at a event at the Australian National News Club before, Tarilao had disappointed the Philippines when facing China's hostile behavior.
He said: "Although you can understand that some Southeast Asian countries give priority to their national interests, especially economic cooperation with China, they will have a blind eye to Beijing's illegal behavior, but unfortunately, this approach has promoted China's public contempt of international law.Courage.
He emphasized that the South China Sea issue is not only a struggle for sovereignty in the Philippines, but also "the struggle for everyone."He added that although China signed the United Nations Convention on the Marine Law, it ignored the Convention's provisions and put forward the "illegal and false ten -section line" maritime demand."China uses economic and military forces without reservations to promote illegal operations in the South China Sea. This kind of open -minded behavior is disturbing."
In the new version of Chinese map released by China last August, the ten -segment of the southern China sea was labeled, which overlapped with some exclusive economic zones in Southeast Asian countries, causing the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, Brunei, etc.The dissatisfaction and protest of the country.
