China Coast Guard (CCG) closely tracked a Philippine humanitarian resupply mission to a grounded warship at Ren'ai Jiao in the South China Sea over the weekend. The move follows a provisional agreement between the two nations aimed at easing tensions in the disputed waters.
\"The Philippine side conducted a resupply of daily necessities under China's monitoring,\" stated a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson. China confirmed the shipment contained only humanitarian supplies before allowing it to proceed—a step some analysts call \"diplomatic choreography\" in a region often compared to a geopolitical chessboard.
This comes weeks after both sides reached a temporary arrangement for managing the flashpoint site, part of China's Nansha Qundao. While emphasizing its \"unchanged sovereignty\" over the area, China reiterated plans to resolve disputes through \"dialogue and consultation.\"
