China fears the Philippines plans a continuous coast guard deployment at Sabina Shoal to stake its claim to the disputed feature.
China on Friday reiterated that it would take 'forceful measures' to back its territorial claims after reports that the Philippines might deploy another of its large coast guard ships to a hotspot in the South China Sea.SCS Probing Initiative, a Peking University think tank cited an unidentified source as saying Thursday that Manila planned to send 318-foot coast guard cutter the BRP Melchior Aquino to contested Sabina Reef to relieve the similarly sized cutter the BRP Teresa Magbanua.
The vessel's monthslong deployment there is 'seriously violating China's sovereignty and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, posing a serious threat to peace and stability in the South China Sea,' a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Friday. The spokesperson said China had 'lodged solemn representations' and demanded the withdrawal of all Philippine ships from the area.
