The rescue comes amid China's concerning actions in the West Philippine Sea and harassment of Filipinos within the Philippine waters
MANILA, Philippines – The Chinese embassy in Manila said on Saturday, September 23, that one of its vessels rescued two Filipino fishermen in the Spratly Islands in the West Philippine Sea.
In a Facebook post, the Chinese embassy said the People’s Liberation Army naval vessel Aba was approached by the Filipino fishermen seeking help after one of the fishers suffered wounds caused by propeller blades and “began losing blood.” The embassy said the naval medics on board the Chinese vessel examined the fisherman’s wound and brought him aboard their ship for treatment. It added that the Chinese PLA also provided the Flipinos food, medical supplies, including antibiotics and painkillers, before turning them over “to the Philippine side.”, China’s official state news agency, said China Coast Guard also informed the Philippines about the fishermen’s status.
“We were moved by hearing about the recent rescue of two Philippine fishermen by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. It’s a story that reminds us of the importance of humanitarian efforts and cooperation between nations,” the Chinese embassy said. The rescue came amid China’s concerning actions in the West Philippine Sea and harassment of Filipinos within the Philippines’ own waters.
