The number of Chinese ships continues to rise in Philippine water features in the West Philippine Sea , a Philippine Navy official said on Tuesday.
The Southern Theater Command is responsible for the Beijing military’s activities in the South China Sea, where Chinese vessels have engaged in a series of high-profile confrontations with Philippine ships in recent months. Following Sabina Shoal, Iroquois Reef had 59 Chinese vessels, comprising 58 CMMVs and one PLAN ship. The Pag-asa Islands saw 50 Chinese vessels, including 49 CMMVs and one CCGV. Bajo de Masinloc had 13 vessels, with 12 CMMVs and one CCGV.
Tuesday’s high-level military dialogue between the geopolitical rivals comes on the heels of the first visit to China by a US national security advisor since 2016. Zhang, in turn, warned that the status of the self-ruled island was “the first red line that cannot be crossed in China-US relations.”
