China Coast Guard vessel 5901 dubbed as the ‘monster’ ship passes through Philippine waters on January 4, 2025 based on the monitoring of the Philippine Coast Guard. The Philippine Coast Guard said China’s so-called “Monster” ship is once again sailing deeper into the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone and headed in the direction of Zambales province.
He said the deployment aimed to ensure Chinese patrols “are not normalized, and that this bullying behavior does not succeed.” The PCG official said that Chinese patrol ships earlier this month had come as close as 60 nautical miles west of the main Philippine island of Luzon. Tarriela emphasized the importance of exposing China’s unlawful deployments within the Philippines’ EEZ to prevent Beijing from normalizing its activities and altering the status quo.
