A Continuous Warning to Leave the West Philippine Sea

Once again, defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana repeated the  interest of  Chinese vessel over the Philippines to leave the West Philippine Sea, saying they have  other explanation to remain in the fervently challenged waters.

This is a huge decrease in the Chinese boats secured, moored and fixed at Julian Felipe Reef, where the NTF-WPS at first recorded 220 vessels associated to be part with Beijing’s oceanic state army.

Be that as it may, Chinese vessels have since dispersed to different highlights in the Kalayaan Island Group, which is under the locale of Palawan. China has said that the boats at Julian Felipe Reef, referred to them as Niué Jiao, are just taking sanctuary from unpleasant ocean conditions and demanded that this is totally typical as it stated its cases over the ocean include.

He added that Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian “has a great deal of disclosing to do,” as the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea (NTF-WPS) noticed 44 Chinese vessels actually stay in Julian Felipe (Whitsun) Reef, which is inside Manila’s 200-nautical mile selective financial zone.

This is a critical decrease in the Chinese boats secured, moored and fixed at Julian Felipe Reef, where the NTF-WPS at first recorded 220 vessels associated to be part with Beijing’s sea local army. In any case, Chinese vessels have since dispersed to different highlights in the Kalayaan Island Group, which is under the locale of Palawan.

In 2016, a Hague-based court pronounced void China’s broad cases over the majority of the South China Sea, yet Beijing keeps on dismissing this decision.

Malacañang said that President Rodrigo Duterte has raised the issue with China’s emissary, while Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. has stopped a strategic dissent with Beijing. Locsin was in China from Wednesday to Friday, yet the Department of Foreign Affairs still can’t seem to uncover what has been talked about during his excursion.

Morever, World powers like the United States, European Union, Australia, Japan, United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand have communicated support for the Philippines, approaching China to hold fast to rules-based request steady with worldwide law, remembering the Convention for the Law of the Sea.
