China hat das größte Küstenwachschiff der Welt in der ausschließlichen Wirtschaftszone der Philippinen im Südchinesischen Meer verankert, was die Spannungen im Südchinesischen Meer verschärft.
July 6, 2024
China hat das größte Küstenwachschiff der Welt in der ausschließlichen Wirtschaftszone der Philippinen im Südchinesischen Meer verankert, was die Spannungen im Südchinesischen Meer verschärft.
The “monster ship”, which is 165m long, arrived in the area on July 3, and has not responded regarding its intentions, despite repeated radio challenges from the Philippine coastguard.
For more than a decade, Beijing has been carrying out extensive land reclamation on islands in the South China Sea, building air strips and other military facilities.
China has largely denied that it is doing so. It maintains that the international waters are all Chinese territory, defying a 2016 ruling by a tribunal in The Hague that found its maritime claims had no legal basis under international law.
Tensions have been building between China and the Philippines because of Beijing’s claims in the disputed waterways.
The South China Sea is a strategic waterway through which millions of dollars of global trade passes each year.
Coastguard and fishing vessels from other south-east Asian nations, such as Vietnam, have also been harassed by the Chinese coastguard and navy.
Governments in the region and experts have worried for years that China’s maritime territorial claims could spark war.
“Why do these countries keep forming pacts and alliances against us?”
Guess the US is going to fortify Palawan. Again…
So much for working with the Philippines to lower tensions in the South China Sea. Typical hypocrisy from China.
The coastguard ship is longer than the US navy’s Arleigh Burke class destroyers. It’s a warship.
Bullies are gonna bully!
China trying hard to unite the neighborhood.
Warship cosplaying as coast guard
Why didn’t the Telegraph explain Exclusive Economic Zones are international waters?
Decision time
Didn’t know the coast guard operates so far from the coast
One day they are going to find out how difficult it is to fight multiple enemies.
China excels at making enemies.
The Philippines are going to do what they did to Magellan, to the Chinese. Look it up, they don’t fuck around.
Sounds like someone needs to cut the anchor…..
China is never gonna beat the small pp allegations
China just doesn’t get it. You can’t declare the entire South China Sea is all yours because of an old map. The world, except for a few if China’s lackies, doesn’t recognize their claim.
With all that said, if China thinks it can succeed at this with brute force and intimidation, they are sorely mistaken. It’s not going to happen, no matter which way they attempt to make if work, but intimidation of your much smaller neighbors is a terrible look.
Like Russia, many of the Chinese elite and leaders, are living in the wrong decade.

**From The Telegraph’s Senior Foreign Correspondent, Sophia Yan:**
China has anchored the world’s largest coastguard ship in the Philippines’ [exclusive economic zone in the South China Sea](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/07/02/china-nine-dash-line-south-sea-scarborough-brahmos-missile/) in a move that appears aimed at intimidating its neighbour.
The “monster ship”, which is 165m long, arrived in the area on July 3, and has not responded regarding its intentions, despite repeated radio challenges from the Philippine coastguard.
However, the Chinese have however [insisted they hold sovereignty over the waters](https://chase.telegraph.co.uk/etc/telegraph-author/v2/edit/2c7cabb5-1fee-11ef-8f15-5a80128e4618) and are “doing a maritime law enforcement operation”, said Jay Tarriela, a spokesman for the Philippine coastguard.
The giant Chinese ship has also deployed a smaller boat, anchored just half a mile away from a Philippine coastguard vessel.
The Philippine coastguard [deployed a ship to the Sabina shoal](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/05/03/beijing-in-the-south-china-sea/) in the South China Sea in May in an effort to deter small-scale reclamation by China.

China will empty the seas for everyone.
Bring in the Ukrainian sea drones.
And once again, the western powers do nothing
Turn it into a sub!
