"Last week, Chinese coast guard vessels rammed and shot water cannon at
Philippine ships in the South China Sea. The incident was well within the
Philippines’ exclusive economic zone and was completely unprovoked.

It is the latest example of a sustained pattern of Chinese maritime coercion
that has intensified over the past three years. Despite the growing frequency
and sheer aggression of these tactics, international attention and official
rebukes have noticeably waned in the past 12 months.

For Australia, a nation whose prosperity and security relies on maritime trade,
there can be no room for complacency or desensitisation. China’s maritime
aggression puts Australia at risk."
