The bullying of China, which is trying to run its expansionist agenda across the world, has come to the fore once. China has sent 200 boats to the maritime zone claiming Philippine as its own.
Beijing: China has denied the intrusion of 200 boats into the Philippine sea area. China’s Foreign Ministry claimed on Monday that more than 200 Chinese fishing boats (Chinese Yacht) had to be anchored on a coral claiming to be Philippine due to bad weather. China has rejected the Philippine accusation that it did so deliberately.
China expressed its authority over the islands
Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Hua Chunying told reporters on Monday that the Whitson Reef is part of the Spartly Islands. It is included in the main islands of the South China Sea and China claims the entire region. He said, ‘Recently some Chinese fishing boats (Chinese Yacht) took shelter near Whitson Reef to escape the strong wind due to bad weather. I think it was a normal thing and all sides should take it logically.
The Philippine Defense Minister Delphine Lorenzana on Sunday appealed to China to stop this infiltration and immediately withdraw these boats. He said, “These boats violate the maritime right and are encroaching on our sovereign territory.” He said, “The presence of these boats is intended to provoke militarization in the area.”
