Hi friends! Have you ever wondered what happens when ships from different countries meet at sea? Well, something like that just happened near a place called Huangyan Island in the South China Sea! ๐๏ธ๐
On Wednesday, four ships from the Philippines tried to enter the waters near Huangyan Island. The China Coast Guard (that’s like their ocean police ๐๐ข) saw them and took action to make sure everything was okay.
A spokesperson for the China Coast Guard, named Liu Dejun, said that the Philippine ships were getting too close to the Chinese patrol ships in a way that wasn’t safe. So, the Chinese coast guard did what they needed to do to keep things under control, following their laws and rules.
Situations like this are important because they show how countries work together to keep the seas safe. It’s like when you and your friends agree on rules while playing a game. ๐ฎ๐ค
Both China and the Philippines hope to keep peace and solve any problems by talking and cooperating. After all, teamwork makes the dream work! ๐
