China, Philippines ships collide in South China Sea | DW News
China claims almost all of the South China Sea, including the Second Thomas Shoal. Several Southeast Asian states have made conflicting and sometimes overlapping claims in the South China Sea. Beijing rejected a 2016 ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague that said that China’s claims did not have any basis under international law. In July, China and the Philippines reached a “provisional arrangement” aimed at ending maritime confrontations near the Second Thomas Shoal, allowing Manila to resupply the atoll. The Philippines deliberately ran aground the Sierra Madre ship on the Second Tomas Shoal in 1999 in order to assert Manila’s sovereignty over the area. Filipino troops are stationed on the shipwreck and require regular resupply.

Ban ALL chinese EVs, computers, phones and apps. One should not arm nor finance your enemy
Looks like Chinese are unlawfully ramming Philippine ship in their own territory. An act of war.
Taiwan is not china
Its inside PH teritorry. Who is provoking?
Filipino cant copy the bravery of Vietnamese.
They did not collide in south china sea because it happened in the Philippines EEZ West Philippine Sea…you guys should report fairly and not biased, shame on you
Hang on, isn"t the smaller boat supposed to get out of the way of the bigger boat? Seems to me that the Phillipine sea-men were at fault. But I still feel sorry for damage to a ship, and hope nobody was injured or died.
If we search really, I am sure we will fand many artefacts. Chinese traded extensively in those waters.
WE ALL KNOW IT'S THE CHINESE… MARCOS YOUR LOOKING WEAK ALLOWING THUS TO CONTINUE
Pakyo ninyo
Pakyoooooo
China is not claiming China are lying to their teeth. Hahaha all their neigbor satellite images shows they have incursion.
China FO
Solidarity with, and love to the Philippines from the UK ✊🇬🇧
The Filipinos thought they could sneak into China's territorial waters late at night without being detected. However, the Chinese coast guard is on duty 24 hours a day. And their AWACS aircraft patrol the South China Sea almost around the clock.😂😂😂
Pirates
china will never respect ours, so now its time to act as the whole world knews that that is our territory🇵🇭🇵🇭💪
This is horrible. The bullies can no longer hide behind their rote "Who, us???" feigned innocence. It's become a global joke.
the Philippines' EEZ is recognized by 99%* of the world ; it's not even a close debate
(*and by *100%* of countries whose citizens enjoy freedom & democracy….a real pity that 1.3 billion middle-kingdom serfs still don't)
I'm not like China
China wants this area to secure their trade routes in the event of a blockade from America & its allies. They will use whatever lame justification they can to say why this area rightfully belongs to them, when really they are fabricating a claim. I support the Phillipines in this dispute, and I believe China is threatening Phillipino territorial integrity.
Send the US Navy see if the ram the U.S. Navy
We've all seen chinese drive a car what makes you think they are better with boats? Couldn't resist.
Ah yes « peaceful » China strikes again
Someone lost the game of chicken
China is the Aggressor.
Omg, is that we type of country being bullied just like this…I'm so proud of Ukraine and Israel , they were small countries compare to their enimies but the will to defend its sovereignty is high ..
