PCG condemns China’s WPS ‘new order’
Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson Commodore Jay Tarriela criticized China's attempt to establish a "new order" as a basis for its presence in the West Philippine Sea.
Tarriela asserted that China's maritime operations within the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone are illegal and illegitimate, violating international law.
He highlighted that China's claims are invalidated by the 2016 Arbitral Award, which dismissed their nine-dash line assertion.
The PCG official noted that Chinese vessels are arrogantly asserting jurisdiction over Philippine waters, even beyond China's claimed baseline.
Tarriela emphasized that China's actions disregard international law and undermine regional peace and stability.
