“We will not be deterred or intimidated.”The Armed Forces of the Philippines on Friday issued this strong statement as China is set to implement its “no trespassing” policy on Saturday.“ China 's so-called anti-trespassing policy undermines the rule of law and international norms that govern maritime conduct. The presence and actions of its vessels in our waters are illegal, coercive, aggressive, and deceptive,” the AFP stated.

In May, China issued a regulation empowering its coast guard to detain foreigners trespassing in the South China SeaThe China Coast Guard can detain trespassers without trial, the South China Morning Post reported, citing a regulatory document of Beijing set to take effect on June 15.“Foreigners suspected of illegally passing China's borders can be held for up to 60 days," according to the media report.
