Australia called for “peace, stability and respect” for the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea following the incessant incursions being made by China in disputed areas of the South China Sea.

Australian Ambassador to the Philippines Hae Kyong Yu made the call in a Twitter post after she expressed concern over what she said China’s “unprofessional and dangerous conduct” against the Philippines. According to the PCG, the BRP Malapascua and BRP Malabrigo counted over 100 Chinese Maritime Militia vessels, People’s Liberation Army Navy corvette, and two China Coast Guard vessels.

He gave an update on its patrol almost a week after one of the two ships engaged in a near-collision with a Chinese coast guard vessel in the vicinity of Ayungin Shoal, which is within the Philippine’s EEZ.
