The meeting on Wednesday was the latest in a string of disputes between the Philippines and China in the South China Sea, where tensions have persisted since Manila left amid Manila’s strikes on its island.
A spokesman for the China Coast Guard (CCG) said Beijing took “necessary control measures” to remove vessels suspected of having entered a disputed sandy cay near Thitu, the largest island in the Philippine archipelago.
Competing claims between the Philippines and China in disputed waters have led to frequent clashes involving the repeated use of water cannons and the sides firing at Chinese ships.
Beijing claims that almost all of the South China Sea in the 1940s 940s line is the exclusive waters of the Philippines and neighbors as the Court of 2016 and 2016 is the court of 2016 the Court of Lamusoals.
A naval surveillance plane was deployed to follow the first buoy it had spotted earlier this week in the middle of the Scarborough Shoal, which the Philippines calls Panatag. Manila’s security guard said the findings show “ongoing activities in the area.”
A second buoy was pulled north of Scarborough Shoal, the PCG said.
In September, China approved the creation of a 3,500-hectare natural reserve northeast of Scarborough, which is said to be aimed at preserving the biodiversity of the South China Sea.
Chinese local forces have repeatedly prevented Filipino fishermen from reaching the study, which lies in Manila’s 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone. The atoll is a large fishing lagoon along major shipping routes that was seized by China in 2012 after a military standoff in the Philippines.
The competing feature lies 222 kilometers west of Luzon Island and about 900 kilometers from Hainan, the nearest large Chinese landmass.
