Two Philippine vessels were expelled by the China Coast Guard (CCG) on Friday for unlawfully intruding into waters near Tiexian Jiao of China's Nansha Qundao. The vessels attempted to illegally land on the reef and collect sand samples, prompting the CCG to warn and drive them away.
The incident occurred when the Philippine vessels entered the waters near Tiexian Jiao, a reef within China's Nansha Qundao. Upon detecting the intrusion, the CCG took immediate action to enforce maritime regulations and protect China's territorial waters.
The China Coast Guard emphasized the importance of adhering to international maritime laws and respecting China's sovereignty over the Nansha Qundao region. The swift response reflects China's commitment to safeguarding its maritime rights and maintaining stability in the area.
