South China Sea Showdown VIDEO: China Attacks with Water Cannons, Philippines Calls out 'Harassment'

Tensions flare once again in the South China Sea as China’s Coast Guard unleashes water cannons on Philippine ships near the disputed Scarborough Shoal. Beijing accuses Manila of “illegal intrusion” and even ramming a vessel, while the Philippines insists it was on a humanitarian mission to support local fishermen. With both sides trading accusations of harassment and propaganda, analysts warn the shoal could become the next big flashpoint in a $3 trillion trade route. Is this just another clash at sea — or the start of a larger confrontation?

01:00Good afternoon. Question from AFP.

01:05China's Coast Guard said that around 10 a.m. today, a Filipino ship deliberately rammed a Chinese vessel.

01:12The Coast Guard said that this was after vessels from the Philippines illegally intruded into China's territorial waters of Huang Yantau.

01:21Does the Foreign Ministry have any comment on this incident? Thank you.

01:27Huang Yantau.

01:28Huang Yantau has always been China's territory.

01:34The Philippines sent several vessels to intrude into the waters of Huang Yantau,

01:40which severely violated China's sovereignty and rights and interests,

01:44severely disrupted peace and stability at sea.

01:49China has taken necessary measures in accordance with law to safeguard our territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests,

01:57which is beyond reproach.

02:00Facts have proven once again that the Philippines' deliberate infringement and provocations at sea are the root cause of the tensions.

02:08The Philippines should at once stop its infringement and provocation and not challenge China's firm resolve in safeguarding its legitimate rights and interests.
