Politics South China Sea Thread

Just seconds before the China Coast Guard Type 056 corvette CCG 3104 struck the People's Liberation Army Navy Type 052D destroyer CNS Guilin (DDG-164), there were a handful of CCG personnel at the CCG-3104's bow, trying to place rubber protection on the ship in the hipe of reducing the damage.

Obviously the damage was so severe due to the high speed of both Chinese ships, with the bow of the CCG ship destroyed in the process.

Now it is believed that these CCG personnel may have perished due to crushing, or fell off their ship because of the force.

A sign of potential missing CCG personnel can be seen by the movement of Chinese ships in the location of the accident, with several ships moving in grid which is a sign that they are searching for something, or someone, or several people.

Surprisingly, instead of stopping and assisting the CCG-3104, the CNS Guilin was said to continue its pursuit of BRP Suluan (MMRC-4406).

This only shows that people's lives, even of their own, is not important to them. Its just another sign why China has been very aggressive to others since they do not value life moreso those from other countries.

Until now China has not reported or mentioned anything about the accident in their news outlets or in their recent statement, which shows the control of flow of information in China to stop the Chinese populace from learning the truth, especially if its a bad news that the people can use to criticize their Communist authoritarian government

Sal walks through the crash. But the more interesting part is Sal walking through UNCLOS (UN Convention on the Law of the Sea) as it applies to what happened here off Scarbarough Shoal.

What Chinese "fishing boats"are. (Not fishing boats)

What is the difference between the Chinese "Coast Guard" vs the Chinese Maritime Authority. (Hint, one is kind of a coast guard, and it isn't the one that sounds like it should be.)
 
Wondering what happened with the Chinese Cutter. Was it taken under tow or did it leave on it's own power. No word on the several Chinese crewmen on the bow who most assuredly were lost.
 
The Chinese people are the only ones in the world unaware of what happened.
