RELENTLESS ATTACK. This frame grab from a handout aerial video footage taken and released on March 23, 2024 by the Armed Forces of the Philippines shows a China Coast Guard ship deploying water cannon against a Philippine military-chartered civilian boat Unaizah May 4 during its supply mission near Ayungin Shoal.
The Philippine government through National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea lambasted the China Coast Guard on Saturday for damaging a Filipino supply vessel near the Ayungin Shoal with water cannons and injuring those on board. The US State Department said the March 23 incident marks China’s constant pattern of aggression that undermines international law. It cited the July 2016 Arbitration Ruling that invalidates China’s claims to the entire South China Sea.“The PRC has no lawful maritime claims to the waters around Second Thomas Shoal and Second Thomas Shoal is a low tide feature clearly within the Philippines exclusive economic zone,” Miller said in his statement.
Canadian Ambassador David Hartman echoed the same perspective, saying the latest attacks by China threatens regional peace and stability. “We urge the peaceful resolution of disputes in accordance with international law,” Hartman posted on X .
