Philippines Accuses China of Water Cannon Attacks Near Huangyan Dao

The Philippines accused China of conducting water cannon attacks and dangerous maneuvers near Huangyan Dao. China responded by stating that its coast guard actions were lawful and intended to protect marine resources.

The Philippine government officially accused China of conducting a series of water cannon attacks and dangerous vessel maneuvers near Huangyan Dao in the South China Sea. Huangyan Dao is located in the central South China Sea and is an important maritime landmark. The surrounding waters are rich in fishing resources. Chinas national coast guard subsequently issued a response statement claiming that its actions were completely in compliance with international law and regulations. China emphasized that these measures were intended to protect the marine ecosystem and maintain legitimate fishing order. Both sides have long disputed the sovereignty and jurisdiction issues regarding Huangyan Dao. This incident once again highlights this tense situation.
