Philippines says its coast guard ship and supply boat are hit by Chinese vessels near disputed shoal_我的网站
一 | MANILA, Philippines -- A Chinese coast guard ship and one of its militia vessels separately bumped a Philippine coast guard ship and a military-run supply boat Sunday off a contested shoal, Philippine officials said, in a serious flareup that could heighten fears of an armed conflict in the disputed South China Sea.A top Philippine security official told The Associated Press there were no injuries among the Filipino crew members and an assessment of the damage to both vessels was underway. The official added that the incidents near the Second Thomas Shoal could have been worse if they were not able to maneuver rapidly away from the Chinese ships. The official spoke on condition of anonymity due to a lack of authority to publicly discuss details of the incidents.The United States, a longtime treaty ally of the Philippines, immediately condemned the actions by China's ships. The Philippine government also condemned the latest confrontations in “the strongest degree” and called them a violation of Manila’s sovereignty.The Chinese coast guard said the Philippine vessels “trespassed” into what it said were Chinese waters “without authorization” despite repeated radio warnings, prompting its ships to stop them. It blamed the Philippine vessels for causing the collisions."The Philippine side’s behavior seriously violates the international rules on avoiding collisions at sea and threatens the navigation safety of our vessels,” the Chinese coast guard said in a statement posted on its website.The U.S. Ambassador to Manila, MaryKay Carlson, said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that “the United States condemns the PRC's latest disruption of a legal Philippine resupply mission to Ayungin shoal, putting the lives of Filipino service members at risk.”She used the initials for China's formal name, the People's Republic of China, and the name the Philippines uses for the Second Thomas Shoal. She added that Washington was standing with its allies to help protect Philippine sovereignty and to support a free and open Indo-Pacific region.A Philippine government task force dealing with the South China Sea disputes said the collisions occurred as two Philippine supply boats escorted by two Philippine coast guard ships were heading to deliver food and other supplies to the atoll in the face of a years-long Chinese blockade.The task force said it “condemns in the strongest degree the latest dangerous, irresponsible, and illegal actions of the Chinese coast guard and the Chinese maritime militia done this morning in violation of Philippine sovereignty, sovereign rights and jurisdiction."The actions by the Chinese ships were “in utter blatant disregard of the United Nations Charter, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea” and international regulations that aim to prevent sea collisions, said the Philippine task force, which includes the country’s defense and foreign affairs departments, the military, national security council and the coast guard.Near-collisions have happened frequently as Philippine vessels regularly deliver supplies to Filipino marines and sailors stationed on the disputed shoal. But this was the first time Philippine officials have reported their country’s vessels being hit by China’s ships.In the first incident that happened Sunday morning, “dangerous blocking maneuvers of China coast guard vessel 5203 caused it to collide with the Armed Forces of the Philippines-contracted indigenous resupply boat Unaiza May 2,” the task force statement said. It said the “provocative, irresponsible, and illegal action” of the Chinese coast guard ship “imperiled the safety of the crew."The Chinese coast guard gave a different version and said the Philippine supply boat deliberately crossed the bow of its ship, which was on a routine law enforcement patrol, “resulting in a slight collision."Separately, Philippine coast guard ship BRP Cabra’s left side “was bumped by Chinese maritime militia vessel 00003 while it was lying to” northeast of the Second Thomas Shoal, the statement said.The Chinese coast guard said the Philippine ship “deliberately provoked trouble” by reversing its direction, causing its stern to collide with the Chinese vessel and “heating up the situation at the scene." In the past, Chinese officials have played down claims that the Chinese vessels were military militia ships meant to look like fishing boats.Despite the Chinese coast guard blockade, one of the two Philippine navy-manned boats managed to maneuver past the Chinese vessels and deliver supplies to the small contingent stationed on board a long-marooned but still actively commissioned warship, the BRP Sierra Madre, the task force said.It was the latest flare-up in long-simmering territorial disputes in the South China Sea, one of the world’s busiest trade routes. The conflicts, which involve China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei, are regarded as a potential flashpoint and have become a delicate fault line in U.S.-China rivalry in the region.In early August, a Chinese coast guard ship used a water cannon against one of two Philippine supply boats to prevent it from approaching Second Thomas Shoal. The move, which was caught on video, outraged President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and prompted the Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila to summon the Chinese ambassador to convey a strongly worded protest.Washington reacted by renewing a warning that it is obligated to defend the Philippines as a treaty ally.The Chinese Foreign Ministry accused Washington of “threatening China” by raising the possibility of activating the U.S.-Philippine mutual defense treaty. Beijing has repeatedly warned the U.S. not to meddle in regional territorial disputes.Later in August, the Philippines again deployed two boats that got past the Chinese coast guard blockade and delivered supplies to the Filipino forces at Second Thomas Shoal. Two Philippine coast guard ships escorting the supply boats, however, were prevented by Chinese coast guard ships from maneuvering closer to the shoal. A U.S. Navy surveillance aircraft flew in circles in support of the Philippine vessels as the standoff continued for more than three hours.A 2016 arbitration ruling set up under the 1982 U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea invalidated Beijing’s claims on historical grounds to virtually the entire South China Sea. China refused to participate in the arbitration sought by the Philippines, rejected the decision and continues to defy it.___Associated Press journalist Huizhong Wu contributed to this report from Bangkok.。 김경한 전 본부장 중도하차“공사 내 투자 의견조율 중요” 미국 정부의 대미 투자 이행 압박이 거세지는 가운데 3500억달러 규모의 대미 투자를 총괄하는 한미전략투자공사의 초대 전략투자본부장이 취임 두 달여만에 사임했다.정부가 다음달 중 대미 투자 1호 프로젝트를 발표할 예정인 상황에서 공사의 핵심 투자 책임자가 중도 하차하면서 배경에 관심이 쏠리다.26일 한미전략투자공사 등에 따르면 지난 6월 18일 임명된 김경한(사진) 전 전략투자본부장이 최근 사임했다.행정고시 38회인 김 전 본부장은 공직 입문 후 산업통상부(옛 산업통상자원부)에서 잠시 근무하다 외교부로 자리를 옮겼다. 외교부에서 국제경제국 심의관을 비롯해 주베트남·브라질·미국 시카고·인도 참사관 등을 지내며 국제경제와 통상 분야에서 경력을 쌓았다.이후 포스코로 이직해 포스코홀딩스 글로벌통상정책 부사장, 커뮤니케이션본부 부사장, 무역통상실장 등을 역임했다. 한미전략투자공사 출범 이후에는 외교부 몫으로 전략투자본부장에 임명됐다.전략투자본부장은 사실상 공사의 최고투자책임자(CIO)에 해당한다. 배터리·원전·조선·방산·인공지능(AI) 인프라·핵심광물 등 전략산업 분야에서 미국 내 투자처를 발굴하고, 미국 측 파트너와 협상하면서 국내 기업의 참여 구조를 설계하는 업무를 맡는다. 한미 간 전략투자 프로젝트를 발굴·구조화하고 정부 정책 목표와 재무적 타당성을 동시에 맞춰야 하는 중책인 셈이다.공사의 또 다른 핵심 축인 경영기획본부장에는 재정경제부(옛 기획재정부) 몫으로 강종석 전 기획재정부 경제안보공급망기획단 부단장이 임명됐다. 경영기획본부장은 공사의 경영기획 전반을 총괄한다.공사의 핵심 인사가 교체되는 가운데 정부는 다음달 대미 투자 1호 프로젝트를 최종 확정할 계획이다. 산업부는 다음달 중순께 첫 프로젝트를 발표한다는 방침이다. 앞서 김정관 산업부 장관은 지난 20일 취재진을 만나 “현실적으로 필요한 과정과 절차를 고려해 9월 중으로 발표하자는 데 양국 간에 이해가 있었다”며 “다음주도 미국 측과 화상 회의를 이어갈 것”이라고 설명했다.‘대한민국과 미합중국 간 전략적투자의 운영 및 관리를 위한 특별법’에 따르면 대미 투자 프로젝트는 먼저 산업부 산하 한미전략투자 사업관리위원회에서 상업성 등을 검증한다. 이후 한미전략투자공사 산하 운영위원회가 프로젝트를 검토하고, 마지막으로 국회 소관 상임위원회에 관련 내용을 공식 보고해야 투자를 확정할 수 있다.정부 한 관계자는 “행시 40회인 산업부 출신 박종원 사장과 대부분 외교부에서 근무한 행시 38회 본부장간 의견 차이가 있었을 가능성도 있다”면서 “공사가 산업부·외교부·재경부 등 여러 부처의 이해관계가 반영되는 구조인 만큼 투자 방향과 우선순위를 둘러싼 조율이 중요할 것”이라고 말했다.배문숙 기자。
