PH stops research survey after Chinese 'harassment' in disputed sea

Handout footage from the Philippine Coast Guard shows alleged 'dangerous' harassment by Chinese navy and coast guard vessels of Philippine boats transporting scientists intending to conduct a 'marine scientific survey and sand sampling' at a sandbar off Thitu island in the contested South China Sea. Three Chinese coast guard vessels and four smaller boats made 'aggressive maneuvers' toward two Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources ships and their inflatable boats on Jan. 24, 2025 near Thitu island, a Philippine Coast Guard statement said.
