Philippines weighs legal options against China over coral reef 'destruction'​

MANILA, Sept 22 (Reuters) - The Philippines is exploring legal options against China accusing it of destruction of coral reefs within its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the South China Sea, an allegation rejected by Beijing as an attempt to "create political drama".

The Philippines foreign ministry late on Thursday said it was awaiting assessments from various agencies of the extent of environmental damage in Iroquois Reef in the Spratly islands and would be guided by Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra.

The Philippines is studying the possibility of filing a second legal case before the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in the Hague, Guevarra said on Friday. It won its first case, filed in 2013, contesting China's claims to the area.

China, which has refused to recognise the 2016 ruling and has chafed at repeated mention of the case by Western powers, denied the latest claims of destruction of coral reefs.

"We urge the relevant party of the Philippines to stop creating a political drama from fiction," its embassy in Manila said late on Thursday, quoting Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning.

China needs new ways of dealing with annoying neighbours like Philippines and India. Perhaps its time to change the foreign policies and start covertly aiding Maoists groups like the New People's Army in Philippines and the Naxalites in India.

When you take legal action, it means your claim is lost, the Collective West can't back you up as evidently shown in the Ukraine War. And also it takes two parties to participate to make it legally binding. Like the previous Arbitration ruling it's a worthless piece of toilet paper.

Philippines condemns Beijing's 'floating barrier' in South China Sea​

The Philippines has condemned the China Coast Guard’s move to install a floating barrier in a flash point area of the contested South China Sea, just 230 kilometers (140 miles) from the Philippine coast.

Jay Tarriela, a spokesman for the Philippine Coast Guard, said the roughly 300-meter barrier had been discovered during a routine patrol on Friday, after it was set up by China Coast Guard boats and maritime militia vessels.

Filipino fisherman chased by China coast guard in disputed waters​


South China Sea (Philippines) (AFP) – Filipino fisherman Arnel Satam guns the motor of his tiny wooden boat as he makes a dash for the shallow waters of Scarborough Shoal in the disputed South China Sea, with Chinese coast guard speedboats in hot pursuit.

"I want to fish in there," a defiant Satam, 54, told journalists as he stood barefoot on his light blue outrigger bearing a Superman "S" emblem.

"I do this thing often. They already chased me earlier today," he said, adding the Chinese speedboats had bumped his vessel.

"I just laughed at them."

Philippine officials also accused the Chinese coast guard of laying a 300-metre (-yard) long floating barrier across the entrance to the shoal shortly before the BRP Datu Bankaw arrived.

The temporary barrier "prevents Filipino Fishing Boats from entering the shoal and depriving them of their fishing and livelihood activities," the Philippine coast guard and fisheries bureau said in a joint statement condemning its installation.

This is what I'm afraid of, it become THE NEW NORMAL, just like what happening now in Taiwan. It will stretch the already limited asset we have and in the future we might just give up cause we can't compete with the Chinese. This strategy is taken from Mao peoples war to fight the US hybrid War.

We are now on the stalemate situation as cracks are showing as the Philippine Gov't is looking at the International Court to seek relief.

Mao's three phases of guerrilla war—the strategic defensive, stalemate, and strategic offensive.

I don't think US will just sit by this time, and with US in back, Phillipines will be very bold. So, China will have to decide how tough are they going to be to enforce its claims. If push comes to shove and the situation is such that violent force needs to be applied like what happened in the Galwan clash, will they back down?

China has been too cautious when it comes to dealing with the Phillipines. Let's see what they do next.
