00:00 Chinese ships are increasing in the West Philippine Sea

00:03 based on the monitoring of the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative.

00:07 Breaking news, by Mackie Pulido.

00:10 Last September, three Chinese survey ships passed by near the Philippine Rhize,

00:17 an underwater plateau in the northeastern seaboard of the Philippines.

00:21 It is located in the low-bottom of our Exclusive Economic Zone or EEZ,

00:25 and it was considered as a rich country in oil, gas, and other marine resources.

00:29 On February 26, the former US Air Force official, Ray Powell,

00:34 posted that there are two Chinese ships that have seen loitering or were near the area.

00:40 In the monitoring of the Philippine Navy,

00:41 two research survey vessels from Guangzhou, China and Pacific Ocean were sent.

00:47 If we will track the course of both survey ships

00:51 coming from the port of origin to the Pacific,

00:54 that is more or less the vicinity they would be after two or three days of travel.

00:58 In transit, or the survey ships of China just passed by,

01:02 now, the two survey ships are outside the Philippine EEZ.

01:06 Passing through the Exclusive Economic Zone or a coastal state is allowed under UNCLOS.

01:13 Doing research or other activities will help to inform the coastal state

01:18 and in some ways get the consent of the coastal state.

01:21 In the other side of the country, in the West Philippine Sea,

01:25 aside from the South Sea Fleet of China and China Coast Guard,

01:29 there are more ships of the Chinese maritime militia.

01:32 In the monitoring of the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative,

01:36 the average number of militia vessels is 195

01:39 that were spotted in different places in the West Philippine Sea every day of 2023.

01:44 More than the previous years.

01:47 The Philippine Navy said that these are private fishing vessels

01:49 that were given a permit by China to fish inside the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.

01:55 But the Chinese military is accepting the order.

01:59 I would call them a clear and present challenge, not a danger.

02:02 This is part of what we are navigating, that we have to create a new environment now.

02:08 There is no new statement from China that they have previously minimized their sovereignty
