Chinese Coast Guard vessels fired water cannons towards a Philippine resupply vessel, the Unaizah, as it was en route to a resupply mission at Second Thomas Shoal in the South China Sea in March this year, according to a Reuters File Photo.
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr stated on Thursday that he disagreed with China's definition of its sovereign territory in the South China Sea, addressing his country's protest over Beijing's drawing of baselines at a disputed shoal. "Our position remains the same," Marcos said, a day after the Philippines summoned China's ambassador to express its protest over what Beijing declared as its territorial waters.
