China Coast Guard (CCG) dropped a dramatic video on Sunday capturing the moment Philippine vessel 3003 allegedly rammed into CCG ship 21559 near Tiexian Jiao in the Nansha Islands.

"The responsibility lies entirely with the Philippines," Liu emphasized, adding that the CCG's response was "professional, standardized, and lawful." 📹👌
