A Philippine supply ship illegally entered the waters near Ren'ai Jiao in China's Nansha Islands on Monday. The China Coast Guard (CCG) took control measures against the Philippine vessel in accordance with law. At 5:59 am, the Philippine supply ship ignored multiple stern warnings from the Chinese side, violated the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, dangerously and in an unprofessional manner approached Chinese vessels navigating normally, resulting in a collision. The responsibility for the incident lies entirely with the Philippine side: CCG
