No willingness in region to join the Philippines' games

China Daily  

Ren'ai Reef The Philippines on Tuesday accused the China Coast Guard of carrying out "dangerous maneuvers" that led to a collision between one of its coast guard ships and a Chinese vessel. Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson Jay Tarriela said in a social media post: "Their reckless and illegal actions led to a collision", which caused "minor structural damage" to the Philippine vessel. What Tarriela didn't say is that the mission the Philippine vessel was engaged in was intended to resupply the Philippine troops stationed in a World War II-era warship the Philippines intentionally and illegally grounded on China's Ren'ai Reef in 1999, and whether the materials to be supplied to them contained building materials that can be used to shore up the already battered ship, which the Chinese side strictly opposes. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said during the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit in the Australian city of Melbourne: "So while we remain… an important friend to the United States and Europe and here in Australia, they should not preclude us from being friendly to one of our important neighbors, precisely China."
