Two years later, the mainland sent hundreds of militia ships to gather at Oxbow Reef in the Philippines, putting the Philippines on high alert.
Tensions between China and the Philippines are heating up again! The Philippine Coast Guard recently discovered that the number of Chinese mainland militia ships gathering near Whitsun Reef has increased significantly. It is initially estimated that there are more than 135 ships. The Philippines has sent two ships to monitor the South China Sea.
According to foreign reports, the Philippine Coast Guard pointed out on the 3rd that at a time when relations between China and the Philippines were tense, China sent more than 135 militia ships to gather on the Oxbow Reef in the Philippines, which was “shocking.” The Philippine Coast Guard sent a radio warning to the vessel but received no response, the Manila Coast Guard said.
In fact, similar incidents occurred between the two sides in March 2021. At that time, the mainland sent more than 200 militia ships into Oxbow Reef. Later, the United States and the Philippines signed a mutual defense agreement, requiring mainland ships to leave. The United States also condemns China’s use of maritime militias to intimidate other countries and undermine security in the region.
