Press Release - Senator Risa Hontiveros on Chinese Embassy's statement regarding Coast Guard Law

Press Release
SENATOR RISA HONTIVEROS ON CHINESE EMBASSY'S STATEMENT REGARDING COAST GUARD LAW
We should not be lulled into complacency by the Chinese Embassy trying to pass off China's new Coast Guard law as harmless. It is not; particularly for countries with competing claims in the South China Sea. While China can pass any law it wants, these laws cannot be used in ways that violate UNCLOS and international law.
This is an unfortunate provocation, considering that China is militarizing its Coast Guard, which is supposed to be a civilian institution, while making implied claims through its baseless nine-dash line that its sovereignty and jurisdiction extends to the West Philippine Sea. Walang basehan ang nine-dash line ng Tsina kaya walang basehan din ang pag-angkin nila ng mga teritoryo.

Alarm raised over Chinese ship intrusion in Philippine waters

A Chinese survey ship, which entered Philippine waters for the second time over the past year without authorisation, has left the country, but observers are increasingly alarmed over the intrusions, amid confusing statements on why it was in the country’s seas.
Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr confirmed the incident through social media on Tuesday, writing that the government “never gave permission” for the research vessel, Jia Geng, to stay in Philippine waters.
He said that his department only approved a “request for shelter” from the Chinese embassy due to “bad weather”.
Officials from different Philippine agencies, however, gave conflicting accounts of when the ship entered the country’s territory.

China coast guard law not harmless despite envoy's claims –Hontiveros

China coast guard law not harmless despite envoy's claims –Hontiveros
Published February 2, 2021 6:07pm
By LLANESCA T. PANTI, GMA News
The Philippines cannot be complacent over the Chinese government’s assurance that its new Coast Guard law is harmless, Senator Risa Hontiveros said Tuesday.
Hontiveros was responding to the statement issued by the Chinese Embassy in Manila stating that the formulation of the Coast Guard Law “is a normal domestic legislative activity of China” and that the content of the law “conforms to international conventions and the practices of the international community.”
The Chinese Coast Guard law allows Chinese forces to “take all necessary measures, including the use of weapons when national sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction are being illegally infringed upon by foreign organizations or individuals at sea.”
