🇨🇳❌🇵🇭❗️ — 📰 Bloomberg: Two Chinese People's Liberation Army - Navy coast guard ships and two militia vessels tailed a Philippine warship on February 1st near Mischief Reef in the South China Sea

— The Philippines navy’s BRP Andres Bonifacio was conducting a patrol and search mission on Feb. 1 when it was monitored and tailed by the Chinese vessels near the reef, which is within the Philippines’ 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone, said Armand Balilo, a spokesman for the coast guard. The militia boats “even conducted an intercept course,” he added.

Tensions between Manila and Beijing have risen recently as China increases its presence in the South China Sea, with more vessels appearing off the Philippines’ west coast. Chinese ships have regularly been seen trailing Philippine fishing vessels, often intercepting them and forcing them to divert from contested areas.

The Philippines will not concede its territorial claims, President Ferdinand Marcos said in a January interview.
