The Chinese military personnel rammed two Philippine Navy boats, climbed aboard them and used axes, spears, knives and hammers to damage the boats. The Chinese aggression in a disputed area of ​​the South China Sea seemed similar to the Galwan Valley attack by China in June 2020.
Here’s what happened in the South China Sea on June 17.
Long knives, axes, and spears were the favorite weapons of the Chinese soldiers.
They intercepted the troops heading toward Second Thomas Shoal.
