The China Coast Guard (CCG) is making waves 🌊! On Monday, they called out the Philippines for what they see as some not-so-cool moves in the waters around Houteng Jiao, which is part of China's Nansha Qundao.
According to CCG spokesperson Liu Dejun, several Philippine vessels were spotted illegally gathering in these waters under the guise of fishing. But that's not all – they allegedly ignored warnings and dissuasion from the CCG. Talk about ignoring the red flags 🚩!
What's more, these vessels weren't sailing solo. They were reportedly accompanied by media reporters, staging scenes for publicity. Sounds like a high-seas drama unfolding!
The CCG isn't thrilled about this and has taken necessary control measures against the vessels. They've also urged the Philippines to \"immediately cease its provocative actions.\"
It's a developing story, and we'll keep our eyes on the horizon 🌅 for more updates. Stay tuned!
