💨 Abstract

The Philippines accused China of deploying its largest coast guard vessel into Manila's maritime zone, escalating tension and intimidating its fishermen near the disputed Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea. China defended its actions, asserting it was in line with the law. The Philippines has protested against Chinese vessels entering its exclusive economic zone and called for China to withdraw the "monster ship."
