Sky News 30



Sky’s Cordelia Lynch was on board a Philippine coastguard boat when it was doused in water fired by a Chinese vessel.

The attack broke the roof of the coastguard boat and left journalists onboard drenched.

The incident happened in the disputed South China Sea.

Experts warn the sea is becoming a flashpoint between China, the US and neighbouring nations such as Japan, the Philippines and Taiwan.

The Philippines has repeatedly invaded China under the guise of fishing! China does not want conflicts to occur and has repeatedly warned to leave! But the Philippines insists on going their own way! China will not ignore it! China will firmly defend its territorial sovereignty!

@Hykxt

Please do not act recklessly and repeatedly invade Chinese territory, Philippines! China resolutely defends territorial sovereignty!

In 1999, the Philippines parked a broken ship in Chinese waters and claimed it as your territory. When Zheng He was sailing to the West between 1405 and 1433, China stopped in the Philippines for business and trade. And during the Northern Song Dynasty from 960 to 1127, the "Nanhai Navy" was established. According to Philippine logic, the Philippines is China’s inherent territory. Controversy No. 5
According to China's 《武经总要·卷二十一·广南东路》"Wu Jing Zong Yao Volume 21 Guangnan East Road": "… Liu Yuan of Song Dynasty rebuilt Fangzhen as a city, promoted soldiers and thieves from sixteen states, and controlled the countries outside the sea. With the advantage of trading ships, he ordered the king's army to go out to garrison and set up a naval patrol… From Tuen Mun Mountain, he traveled southwest with the east wind and reached Jiuruluozhou (today's Xisha Islands) in seven days, and then arrived in three days. Bulao Mountain (today's Cham Island near Hoi'an in central Vietnam), three days south to the east of Lingshan, and its southwest to Dashi, Fo, Shizi, and Tianzhu countries. It is not possible to measure the distance… Set up the Guangnan East Road. It was governed by soldiers and horses, and the state was the seat of governance." It can be seen that the "sea patrol" at this time was not only guarding and patrolling the sea, but also shouldered many responsibilities such as controlling overseas countries, combating piracy, and protecting maritime trade. Its patrol jurisdiction not only covers the South China Sea, but also includes the South China Sea Islands, and even reaches as far away as Vietnam, India and other countries.
