Here is the footage of the CCG vessel's unsafe and unprofessional maneuver to block the PCG vessel from replenishing the BRP Sierra Madre. China is a signatory to COLREGs, which is meant to prevent such unsafe practices. video courtesy of

Not to mention that Second Thomas Shoal has been found by an international tribunal to be a submerged feature within Philippine EEZ and thus Philippine sovereign territory.

A CCG vessel came within 45 meters of colliding with a PCG ship near 2nd Thomas Shoal as journalists aboard another PCG ship watched the whole thing. This is at least the 5th dangerous act of harassment around 2nd Thomas in the last year.

Also can you comment on why the media doesn’t talk about the UK lost the Mauritius vs The UK ruling at PCA?

My piece in 2021 may help to understand the essence of the Second Thomas Shoal dispute.
