It’s the grounded BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal that is causing “irrevocable harm” to the marine environment, according to China, as it denied clearing Rozul Reef of its corals, saying the Philippines is “creating a political drama from fiction.”
“If the Philippines truly cares about the ecological environment of the South China Sea, it should tow away the illegally ‘grounded’ warship at Ren’ai Jiao as soon as possible, stop it from discharging polluted water into the ocean and not let the rusting warship bring irrevocable harm to the ocean,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Thursday, referring to Ayungin Shoal by its name assigned by Beijing.
China issued the statement after the Philippines announced plans to file complaints before an international court to hold China accountable for environmental depredation. The DFA said it also understands that the Office of the Solicitor General is exploring legal options to pursue. “I think China will only pay if there is conclusive proof shown to the entire global community that would probably place them in a situation that they would behave appropriately,” Tolentino said.
