Hey there! Something important happened at sea recently. Ships from the Philippines and China came very close to each other near a place called Huangyan Dao (also known as Scarborough Shoal). ๐
On Tuesday morning, a ship from the Philippine Coast Guard made some sudden moves near Chinese Coast Guard ships. It came as close as 100 metersโthat’s about the length of a soccer field! ๐ฎ
Experts are saying this was very dangerous. If the ships had collided, it could have caused a big accident. It’s super important for ships to navigate safely to avoid any mishaps. ๐ข
China has said they are trying hard to keep things calm and wants everyone to be safe at sea. It’s important for all countries to work together and avoid doing things that might cause problems. ๐ค
Let’s hope everyone stays safe on the oceans! Remember, the sea is for everyone to share peacefully. ๐
