🇵🇭❌🇨🇳 — On September 28, the Philippine Coast Guard accused the Chinese research vessel "Jiahai Ke 7" of suspected falsification of positioning and concealment of its whereabouts.
📝 Records released by the Philippine side show that the vessel's positioning signal indicated departure from Xiamen in the early hours of September 21, and it appeared near Papua New Guinea more than 2,000 nautical miles away that same night, with only about 19 hours elapsed.
The Philippine side stated that on the morning of September 28, a patrol aircraft discovered the vessel approximately 38 nautical miles northwest of Itbayat Island in the Philippine Batanes Islands, and multiple radio hails received no response.
The Philippine side believes that the vessel's activity pattern of lingering in the same area matches the characteristics of marine surveys, and suspects it of conducting unauthorized scientific research activities.
According to previous public introductions by the China Classification Society and the Newhuai District Government, the "Jiahai Ke 7" is a private research vessel built with investment from a Zhuhai enterprise, approximately 70 meters long, equipped with a dynamic positioning system, and capable of engineering drilling and static sounding operations in water depths of up to 150 meters.
