The video of this incident went viral. Philippines has compared China to pirates.
China is trying to establish a monopoly in the South China Sea. China does not accept the claim of any other country on the South China Sea. Since the Philippines also has its territorial waters in the South China Sea, there is constant tension between these two countries. In the past, incidents have occurred from side-by-side landings to obstruction of each other's ships in the water. A new event has been added.
A team of Philippine sailors was on their way to deliver supplies to other sailors stationed at Second Thomas Sol. Philippine officials said that China has created tension by stopping the boat loaded with material. Chinese coast guard soldiers in eight boats came towards the Philippine boat. The Chinese soldiers surrounded the ship and attacked the boat with knives and hammers. Not only this, the Philippine Navy was also attacked. In this, a soldier's thumb was cut off. Apart from this, many soldiers have been injured. The video of this incident has gone viral. People are criticizing China. People said that it would not be a surprise if the Third World War starts in the South China Sea. At present, after this incident, there is a very tense atmosphere between the two countries in the South China Sea.
While the Philippines condemned the incident and compared China to pirates, China defended that it stopped the Philippine Navy because it was violating its territorial waters. Secondly, China claims Thomas Hole. Even in the new map, China had considered this place as its part. There has been a dispute over the island in this area for years. The Philippines maintains a military presence there. Therefore, China considers that path as its own. Vietnam and Taiwan also claim Thomas Hole near the Spratly Islands as part of their territorial waters. That is why people say that this area will lead to World War III.
