At least two men on a grounded Philippine military vessel pointed guns at a China Coast Guard (CCG) team patrolling in the waters off Ren’ai Jiao on May 19.The personnel on BRP Sierra Madre, a Philippine military vessel that was illegally run aground at China’s Ren’ai Jiao in 1999, were receiving an air-drop supply when the CCG responded in accordance with the law.The footage provided by the CCG shows at least two men on the BRP Sierra Madre holding rifles and even pointing them in the direction of CCG officers.Despite the Philippines’ increasingly aggressive provocations in the South China Sea, China has indisputable sovereignty over Nansha Qundao (Nansha Islands) including Ren’ai Jiao and their adjacent waters.
