Tarriela said while China’s water cannon use does not constitute an armed attack yet on its vessel and personnel, China has been increasing the water pressure when targeting its ships.No country has sovereignty over the strategically located Scarborough Shoal, a prime fishing patch close to major shipping lanes that is used by several countries.
