Philippine officials summon Chinese ambassador over reef dispute

Officials said that the Chinese vessels’ presence is stoking tensions in the area. The escalating feud between Manila and Beijing started after more than 200 Chinese vessels suspected by Philippine authorities to be operated by militias were spotted early last month at Whitsun Reef. The Philippine government demanded the departure of the vessels before deploying coast guard and patrol boats to the area, but China said it owns the reef and explained that Chinese vessels were sheltering from rough seas. Some 220 Chinese vessels are seen moored at Whitsun Reef (National Task Force-West Philippine Sea/AP) After summoning Ambassador Huang Xilian on Monday, Philippine foreign under-secretary Elizabeth Buensuceso expressed to him Manila’s “displeasure over the illegal lingering presence of Chinese vessels around Julian Felipe Reef”, the foreign affairs department said.

Courtesy of the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea Manila’s foreign office said Tuesday it had summoned Beijing’s ambassador for the first time to discuss the “illegal lingering presence” of Chinese ships moored in its exclusive economic zone in the South China Sea, as the Philippines stepped up its protest on the issue. Meanwhile late Tuesday, a government task force said that Philippine military patrols over the weekend had spotted hundreds of Chinese Maritime Military ships also “lingering” in different Philippine-claimed areas of the disputed waterway. Undersecretary Elizabeth Buensuceso said she met Chinese Ambassador Huang Xi Lian at the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) on Monday and repeated Manila’s demand that Beijing withdraw the ships.
