China’s maritime militia: the shadowy armada whose existence Beijing rarely acknowledges

They look like simple fishing boats but are capable of swarming in huge numbers to help Beijing stake its territorial claims in the South China Sea

The Guardian

#Filipino and Chinese vessels engaged in a heated confrontation anew during another resupply mission in #AyunginShoal, #WestPhilippineSea on Friday, Nov. 10, with the hostilities reaching its climax when a #ChinaCoastGuard (CCG) ship deployed a #watercannon against a much smaller indigenous boat chartered by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). #BRPSierraMadre #Philippines #SouthChinaSea

China Coast Guard deploys water cannon vs PH supply boat anew

The National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea (NTF-WPS) said CCG and Chinese maritime militia (CMM) vessels "recklessly harassed, blocked, and executed dangerous maneuvers" against two supply boats rented by the AFP to bring fresh provisions to troops onboard BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal.

In case you're wondering what happens when #climate protesters sit down on a Dutch highway. This is not anything like the #DAPL protests.

Extinction Rebellion NL is highly organised, from sticking to the one demand - end #FossilFuelSubsidies - to designated police liaisons. The #WaterCannon is rented from Germany. It gets turned up a little harder every day. Every day, people show up on the #A12 highway into The Hague. Signups go into October.
