Mga barko ng China sumunod sa misyon ng tulong sa Scarborough

Sumunod ang mga barko ng China sa regular na misyon ng tulong para sa mga mangingisdang Pilipino malapit sa Scarborough (Panatag) Shoal noong Biyernes sa West Philippine Sea, na tinawag na 'new normal' ng isang monitor sa lugar. Kinumpirma ni Commodore Jay Tarriela ng Philippine Coast Guard ang patuloy na 'Kadiwa' mission doon. Ayon kay Ray Powell, anim na China Coast Guard at 10 maritime militia vessels ang nagpapatupad ng exclusion zone.

Noong Biyernes, sumunod ang mga barko ng China sa misyon ng Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) malapit sa Panatag Shoal, na kilala rin bilang Bajo de Masinloc. Ang 44-metrong BRP Cape San Agustin ng BFAR at anim pang 30-metrong mga sasakyang BFAR ay dumating hanggang 30 nautical miles (NM) silangang bahagi ng shoal noong Huwebes ng hapon, ngunit muling inilagay ang posisyon pahilaga hilaga-silangang bahagi 70 NM ng shoal matapos ang gabi, ayon kay Ray Powell, direktor ng SeaLight at program head ng Gordian Knot Center sa Stanford University.

Anim na China Coast Guard vessels at 10 maritime militia vessels ang naroon upang 'aggressively enforce its exclusion zone around the shoal,' sabi ni Powell. 'I think this is the new normal at both Scarborough Shoal and also off Palawan,' aniya sa mensahe sa X (dating Twitter). 'China has essentially determined that it will shadow Kadiwa missions to assert its jurisdiction within its [10] dash line,' dagdag niya.

Mula nang epektibong kunin ng China ang shoal noong 2012, ipinatutupad nito ang 'exclusion zone' na nagbabawal sa mga mangingisda. Sa pamamagitan ng '10-dash line,' nag-aangkin ang Beijing ng soberanya sa halos buong South China Sea, ngunit dinala ng Manila ang usapin sa internasyonal na hukuman na nagdesisyon pabor sa karapatan ng Pilipinas noong 2016. Idineklara rin ng arbitral tribunal na tradisyunal na fishing ground ang Panatag Shoal para sa Pilipinas, China, at Vietnam.

Tumatangging kilalanin ang ruling, nagpatuloy ang aggressive actions ng China, kabilang ang banggaan noong Agosto 11 na nagresulta sa collision ng isang coast guard vessel at navy warship nito. Halos isang buwan pagkatapos, idineklara ng Beijing ang Panatag bilang environmental nature reserve, isang unilateral move na tinanggihan ng Manila.
