China has denied reports that its coast guard forcibly took from the Philippine Navy an unidentified object off the Pag-asa Island.
In a statement on Monday night, the Chinese Embassy in Manila said China’s coast guard took the object, which turned out to be the wreckage of a rocket launched by China, after a “friendly consultation” with the Philippine side.
It said that before the Chinese coast guard eventually found it, “some Philippine Navy personnel already retrieved and towed it.” The embassy maintained “there was no so-called blocking of the course of a Philippine Navy boat” as well as the forceful retrieval of the object.
