China Coast Guard

The record-setting intrusion occurred on the same day that Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi came to Tokyo.

Each month, the CCG conducts what appears to be a ceremonial intrusion into the territorial waters of the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands, which are administered by Japan but claimed by China.

Tensions over Scarborough Shoal have increased markedly since the middle of last year, when Beijing and Manila reached an "understanding" over another disputed shoal.

The China Coast Guard (CCG) is sending its larger and heavily armed ships near the disputed islands.

The clash suggests that Beijing's pressure campaign, previously focused on Second Thomas Shoal, is moving to other parts of the Spratly Islands.

A fishing boat and its crew members were taken from waters off the Taiwanese-controlled island of Kinmen just off the Chinese coast on Tuesday night.

Once again, Chinese and Philippine vessels collided during an attempted resupply to Filipino troops at Second Thomas Shoal.

The country's military chief claims that the incident saw Chinese boats come within five meters of the Philippine outpost at Second Thomas Shoal.

The China Coast Guard is expanding its reach in the Pacific, part of a broader campaign to increase Beijing’s security role in the region.

About 100 Filipinos are sailing to Scarborough Shoal to assert the Philippines' sovereignty, while being trailed by at least two Chinese ships.

Earlier this week, two Philippine vessels were damaged in the latest confrontation with China Coast Guard patrol boats in the South China Sea.

The incident near Chinese-occupied Scarborough Shoal caused damage to two vessels, the Philippine government said.

The incident took place during the regular resupply of the Philippine outpost on Second Thomas Shoal in the Spratly Islands.

Humanitarian cooperation highlights a potential path to dialogue and de-escalation.

Over the past decade, the PCG has become a respectable force – with a little help from Manila's friends

China is stepping up patrols in the waters off the coast of Kinmen after two Chinese fishermen drowned while fleeing the Taiwanese coast guard.

The decade-old approach is failing to gain any substantial benefit, while maximizing the chances of an accidental war that Beijing does not want.

The condemnation came after the Philippine Coast Guard reported another incident in the vicinity of Scarborough Shoal on January 12.

China has quietly increased its presence in the East China Sea, challenging Japan's control of the disputed islands.

In this exclusive interview, Commodore Jay Tarriela, spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea at the Philippine Coast Guard, discusses the current situation near Second Thomas Shoal.

While minor, the two collisions demonstrate the dangers inherent in Beijing’s campaign of escalation in the South China Sea.

The Philippine Coast Guard described China's installation of the barrier at Scarborough Shoal as "a clear violation of international law.”

The statement from Washington followed another near-collision between Philippine and Chinese ships in the South China Sea.

The Philippine Coast Guard has a new responsibility: providing public evidence of China’s unlawful maritime activities. What’s behind the shift?
