Spark of war blazing in South China Sea

A Chinese ship had to run back while trying to infiltrate into the disputed area in the South China Sea. Indonesia has claimed that its coast guard forces forced the ship carrying Chinese military forces to retreat after the clash.

 

China, which often shows its dominance in the South China Sea, has been fooled this time. After the clash with the Indonesian coast guard, the spark of war has flared up in the sea. Indonesia has claimed that China could not stand before its coast guards for long and ran away with its ship.

Indonesia's maritime safety agency said the Chinese vessel approached its ship, named 'MV Geo Coral', twice, disrupting a survey being conducted to collect seismic data. The survey is being conducted by state energy company PT Pertamina in that part of the South China Sea.

Due to China doing this, the tension between the two countries increases significantly. Chinese coast guard ship CCG 5402 was spotted near the MV Geo Coral on Monday, Indonesian officials said.
