Chinese coast guard ship shines laser on Philippine coast guard ship. (Philippine Coast Guard)<\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In one incident between China and the Philippines, a Chinese coast guard ship shined a military grade laser in the direction of a Filipino coast guard ship. Some crewmembers were reportedly temporarily blinded. China claimed that the Philippine coast guard ventured into Chinese territorial waters and that the Chinese responded professionally. However, videos contradict that claim. Therefore, one of the responses that Manila will carry out will be to publish videos of what the Chinese are actually doing.<\/p>\n

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine coast guard has launched a strategy of publicizing aggressive actions by China in the disputed South China Sea, which has countered Chinese propaganda and sparked international condemnation that has put Beijing under the spotlight, a Philippine official said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Manila’s coast guard has intensified patrols in the disputed waters and taken extra efforts to document and publicize assertive Chinese behavior in the strategic waterway, including a Feb. 6 incident in which a Chinese coast guard ship aimed a military-grade laser that briefly blinded some crew members on a Philippine patrol boat off a disputed reef.<\/p>\n

The coast guard protested and released a video of the incident, which sparked alarm in the Philippines, the United States and some other Western countries. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. summoned China’s ambassador to Manila and later said the Philippine military has shifted its focus from fighting Muslim and communist insurgents and other internal threats to external defense amid long-seething South China Sea territorial disputes.<\/p>\n

“I’d like to emphasize that the best way to address Chinese ‘gray zone’ activities in the West Philippine Sea is to expose it,” coast guard Commodore Jay Tarriela said, referring to China’s use of ostensibly civilian fishing and research vessels to perform military tasks to avoid a military response from rival claimant states.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
