Philippine and Chinese ships collided near Scarborough Shoal, leading the China Coast Guard to deploy water cannons amid escalating tensions over maritime disputes. China accused the Philippines of illegally entering its waters, claiming that a Philippine vessel intentionally rammed into a Chinese ship. The Philippines rejected this narrative, asserting it reflects Chinese propaganda. The incident heightens existing tensions, particularly as the two nations remain at odds over the rich fishing ground, now controlled by China since 2012, despite claims from the Philippines.
