The United States on Sunday denounced the Chinese Coast Guard's dangerous maneuvers against a Philippine resupply boat which resulted in a collision between the two vessels off Ayungin Shoal.

Ambassador MaryKay Carlson said the US condemned China's "latest disruption of a legal Philippine resupply mission to Ayungin Shoal," also known by its international name Second Thomas Shoal, and for "putting the lives of Filipino service members at risk." "We stand with our #FriendsPartnersAllies in protecting Philippine sovereignty and in support of a #FreeAndOpenIndoPacific," Carlson said on X.

“Continuing acts of intimidation and coercion undermine safety, stability, and security across the region, and increase the risk of miscalculation,” it added. The Canadian Embassy also commended the professionalism and restraint exercised by the PCG amid the incident. “Canada affirms its support for a rules-based order in the South China Sea consistent w/ international law, including UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral decision, which is final and binding on the parties,” it said.
