Chinese coast guard ships have fired water cannons at and rammed Philippines vessels in disputed waters of the South China Sea as Beijing tries to claim them as its own. In one piece of footage, a Philippines supply boat is trying to take provisions to troops stationed on the remote Second Thomas Shoal which legally belongs to the Philippines but which China is claiming as its own as part of a territory-grab in the region. More video shows how the China Coast Guard also attempted to ram a Philippines vessel in the same waters, in just the latest tense standoff between the two nations. America is a close ally of the Philippines and has pledged to come to the nation’s defence if it is attacked, making the clashes between the two very dangerous. #chinese #phillipines #SecondThomasShoal
