China’s claims don’t stand up to any scrutiny. The whole world has seen over and over how China has been attempting to setup a conflict with any country operating in this general area. We see them bumping into ships, coming within feet of aircraft, setting up chain nets, etc. For them to say “oh look the Phillipines hit us!” is outrageous. China is nothing more than a school yard bully who repeats “stop hitting yourself”, and like a bully their behaviour comes from a place of deep inadequacy and insecurity.
