YET again, the China Coast Guard has used water cannon on Philippine vessels, which Manila immediately protested, the 20th such this year.
The Philippine government, through the Department of Foreign Affairs, is on track in protesting the water cannon incident, far more powerful than anything previously used as it tore or bent metal sections of equipment on the Philippine vessels. “China’s aggressive actions, particularly its water cannon use, caused damage” to the Philippines’ vessels, the DFA said, demanding the Chinese boats immediately leave the shoal and its vicinity.
Since seizing the shoal, Beijing has deployed its coast guard and other vessels but they continue to harass Philippine ships and prevent Filipino fishermen from accessing the rich area.
