China’s Coast Guard installed a floating barrier in the southeast portion of Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea that’s preventing access for Filipino fishing vessels, according to the Philippines.
Manila’s Coast Guard and its Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources “strongly condemn” China’s move which was discovered by personnel of both agencies when they conducted a routine maritime patrol in the vicinity of the shoal on Friday, Philippine Coast Guard spokesman Jay Tarriela said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday.
Calls to the office of Chinese foreign ministry’s spokesperson were unanswered outside of regular business hours. China’s Coast Guard crew alleged the presence of the Philippine boats “violated international law and the domestic laws of China,” he said. After realizing the presence of media personnel on board the fisheries bureau’s ship, the Chinese vessels “maintained a safe distance and moved away,” he added.
