Hey there! 🌊 Tensions are heating up in the South China Sea again! On Thursday, a spokesperson for the China Coast Guard (CCG) called out the Philippines for what they termed as \\"provocative behavior\\" in the region. 😬
Liu Dejun, the CCG spokesperson, stated that on Wednesday, the Philippines deployed multiple vessels into areas that China considers its territorial waters, including around Huangyan Dao and Xianbin Jiao, part of Nansha Qundao. 🚢🇵🇭
\\"These actions severely violated China's territorial sovereignty, went against the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, and undermined regional peace and stability,\\" Liu said. ✋🕊️
The CCG is urging Manila to halt all forms of infringement and inflammatory actions immediately. This isn't the first time tensions have flared up between these two neighbors over the contested waters. 🌐
As sea lovers and peace enthusiasts, let's hope cooler heads prevail, and dialogue takes center stage! 🤝✨
