Philippines says it won’t back down, but won’t start a war, after clash with Chinese Coast Guard

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. declared on Sunday that his country would not yield to any foreign power after Chinese forces injured Filipino navy personnel and damaged military boats in the South China Sea.

However, he emphasized that the Philippines would never instigate a war.

Marcos visited Palawan to meet and award medals to navy personnel attacked by the Chinese coast guard while delivering supplies to an outpost on the disputed Second Thomas Shoal.

Videos showed Chinese coast guard personnel assaulting a Philippine navy boat with wooden bars and seizing items.

The Chinese government claimed action was necessary after Filipino forces entered what China considers its territory, the Associated Press has reported.
