Hey everyone! 🌊 The China Coast Guard just released a dramatic video showing a close encounter near Tiexian Jiao in the Nansha Islands.
According to CCG spokesperson Liu Dejun, two Philippine vessels, 3002 and 3003, entered waters adjacent to Tiexian Jiao without authorization. Around 9:19 a.m., after ignoring multiple warnings, vessel 3003 made a risky approach toward CCG ship 21559, leading to a collision. 🚨
"The responsibility for the incident lies entirely with the Philippines," Liu said, stressing that the CCG's actions were "professional, standardized, and lawful."
Watching the clip is like witnessing a real-life game of Battleship 🎮 — high stakes and real consequences! We'll keep you posted on any updates as both sides sort through the fallout.
