Tactics Institute calls with immediate effect for an end to the alarming escalation of aggressive actions by the China Coast Guard in the South China Sea.
The recent incident involving the China Coast Guard’s use of water cannons against Philippine vessels near the Scarborough Shoal represents a flagrant violation of international law and maritime norms. Such provocative actions not only endanger the lives of innocent fishermen but also escalate tensions in the already volatile South China Sea. China’s aggressive manoeuvres threaten regional security and peace, posing a significant risk to the stability of the entire region.
Tactics Institute vehemently condemns China’s aggressive behaviour and demands an immediate cessation of all hostile actions in the South China Sea. We call upon China to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of neighbouring countries and to refrain from any further acts of intimidation or harassment.
The use of water cannons and other coercive tactics by the China Coast Guard is a clear violation of international law and fundamental human rights. China must adhere to the principles of peaceful coexistence and resolve disputes through diplomatic channels by international law. The international community must also hold China accountable for its actions and work together to uphold freedom of navigation and ensure maritime security in the South China Sea.
Furthermore, the Tactics Institute emphasizes the urgent need for all parties involved to exercise restraint and avoid any actions that could further escalate tensions in the South China Sea. With multiple nations asserting their territorial claims and increasing militarization in the region, the risk of conflict is heightened.
Given the region’s vulnerability to conflicts and the potential for a major escalation, all stakeholders must prioritize diplomacy and dialogue. Any further escalation risks not only exacerbating existing tensions but also jeopardizing the peace and stability of the entire region. All sides must commit to de-escalation measures and engage in constructive dialogue to prevent the situation from spiralling out of control.
Tactics Institute urges China to immediately halt its aggressive actions in the South China Sea and calls upon all concerned parties to work towards a peaceful resolution of maritime disputes for the stability and prosperity of the region.
