The coast guard said it took necessary measures after repeated dissuasion and warnings were ignored.
BEIJING: China’s coast guard took measures to drive away a Philippine navy gunboat on Tuesday after it intruded into waters around the Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea, according to an official statement.
China claims it has “indisputable sovereignty” over the shoal, which it calls Huangyan Island, and the adjacent waters. “We urge the Philippines to immediately stop its infringement,” coast guard spokesman Gan Yu said, saying the action was also a serious violation of international law.
