Philippines Hits Back at China's 'Propaganda' in South China Sea Dispute

China’s claim that it chased off a Philippine gunboat in the South China Sea is mere propaganda, a Philippine official has said.

In the latest episode in the ongoing tit-for-tat over the sea’s disputed waters, the Chinese coast guard asserted on Tuesday that one of its vessels had driven a Philippine naval ship away from Scarborough Shoal, a feature that has been a focal point of the maritime feud between the two countries, after warning it to turn back.

General Romeo Brawner, who heads the Armed Forces of the Philippines, told the media later that day that while one of the country’s ships had indeed been patrolling near the shoal, it had not been chased away but had stayed its course unfazed.

China has frequently reported ejecting U.S. Navy ships on “freedom of navigation operations” from waters it claims jurisdiction over, Harrison Prétat, associate director and associate fellow with the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative, told Newsweek.

Vice Adm. Alberto Carlos of the Philippines’ Western Command vowed to remove any additional obstructions China might erect.

Beijing claims all that lies within its “nine-dash line,” which includes most of the South China Sea, as its sovereign territory.

Should relations between Beijing and Manila deteriorate to the point of conflict, the U.S. is obligated to come to the Philippines’ aid under a mutual defense treaty.
