Chinese vessels seen near Palawan on eve of Balikatan
The Philippine Star
|April 22, 2024
Two Chinese maritime militia ships were reportedly seen some 30 nautical miles from the coastline of Palawan yesterday, a day before the Philippines and United States begin Balikatan 2024.
American maritime expert Ray Powell said the Chinese militia ships turned back in the direction of Mischief Reef after loitering outside the Philippines' 24-nautical-mile contiguous zone.
"Very odd behavior. Perhaps intended to send a message at the beginning of the Philippines-US Balikatan exercise?" Powell wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Powell, a former US Air Force official and defense attaché, clarified that he still had "no context for what's behind this aggression" but is not discounting the possibility that the presence of the Chinese vessels in the West Philippine Sea might be connected to the annual military exercise, which will run until May 10.
In an ABS-CBN interview, Powell said he believes the presence of Chinese maritime militia ships is a demonstration.
