The Chinese Coast Guard claims that a Philippine vessel deliberately collided with its ship, stating that procedures were ignored during the encounter near Sabina Shoal.
The Philippines vehemently contests the Chinese claims, citing that it was actually a Chinese vessel that rammed its ship, amid heightened tensions in the region.
China has issued stark warnings to the Philippines, insisting they cease infringing on its territorial claims, otherwise they will bear all consequences of this altercation.
The ongoing tensions stem from China's repeated assertions over almost the entirety of the South China Sea, disregarding international rulings on the matter.
