A Chinese coast guard vessels sustained serious damaged, after accidentally colliding with its own Chinese warship which also sustained visible damage, as the two Chinese vessels were harassing a smaller Philippine Coast Guard ship, through dangerous maneuvers during a dramatic confrontation, in the vicinity of Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea.
The Philippine coast guard said the collision happened at 8 a.m. after the Chinese Navy and Coast Guard vessels conducted maneuvers against the BRP Suluan and used a water cannon, which the Philippine Coast Guard ship vessel successfully evaded.
The Chinese Coast Guard ship 3104, which was chasing the BRP Suluan at high speed, performed a risky maneuver from the PCG vessel’s starboard quarter, leading to the impact with the PLA Navy warship, this resulted in substantial damage to the CCG vessel’s forecastle while the Chinese warship also sustained visible damages.
Tarriela said there is a possibility the Chinese would distort facts to blame the PCG for the incident. The Chinese coast guard, in its own statement, accused the Philippine ships of intruding under the pretext of delivering supplies to fishing boats.
The Philippines sent multiple coast guard and government vessels, under the pretext of delivering supplies to fishing boats, to forcibly intrude into waters near China’s Huangyan Dao, despite repeated dissuasion and warnings from the Chinese side.
The Philippines' moves seriously infringed upon China's sovereignty and rights and interests, and seriously harmed peace and stability at sea. China has taken necessary measures in accordance with the law to protect its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights, which are reasonable and legal.
The China Coast Guard, in accordance with the law, took all necessary measures, including tracking, monitoring, blocking, and controlling, to drive the Philippine vessels away. On-site operations were conducted in a professional, standard, and lawful manner, China Coast Guard spokesperson Gan Yu said in a statement, without mentioning the collision.
