Defining the News
China has called on the Philippines not to be alarmed by its new coast guard regulations that permit the detention of foreigners in the international seas, as long as no illegal activities are involved. This assertion comes amid heightened tensions in the West Philippine Sea or South China Sea.
Mao further claimed that the new rules align with international practices, asserting that “individuals and entities have no need for concern as long as they have not done anything illicit.”The Chinese Foreign Ministry issued the statement in response to President Marcos’s remarks that the new coast guard rules are an escalation and “worrisome.”
This move has raised concerns among countries with competing claims in the South China Sea, or WPS for the Filipinos, a crucial maritime route with over $3 trillion in annual trade. “Yes, of course, there are. I’ve said it many times. You should try everything,” Marcos said, indicating ongoing efforts to resolve the issue through meetings and backchannel negotiations with China.
