China’s Maritime Bullying: Ramming Tactics Terrorize Neighbors in the South China Sea

CLICK HERE FOR COMMENTS

Article with MANY examples of Chinese bully tactics with all of their neighbors is below this top clip by NY Post showing them ramming a Philippines ship. 🛑

Footage released by the Philippine Coast Guard appeared to show a Chinese vessel firing a water cannon and ramming a Filipino government boat. Jay Tarriela, spokesperson for the Philippine Coast Guard, condemned the incident as “bullying tactics and aggressive actions.” In response, China’s Coast Guard claimed the Philippine vessels had “illegally entered” Chinese waters and ignored multiple warnings.

China’s Maritime Bullying: Ramming Tactics Terrorize Neighbors in the South China Sea

In a shocking display of aggression captured in footage released by the Philippine Coast Guard and highlighted in a New York Post video clip from October 12, 2025 above, a Chinese vessel unleashes a powerful water cannon on a Filipino government boat before deliberately ramming it in the disputed South China Sea. The incident, described by Philippine spokesperson Jay Tarriela as “bullying tactics and aggressive actions,” underscores Beijing’s escalating use of physical force to assert dominance over contested waters. China, in turn, accused the Philippine vessels of illegally entering its claimed territory and ignoring warnings, but the video evidence paints a clear picture of unprovoked hostility.
This confrontation is no isolated event; it’s part of a pattern where China’s coast guard and maritime militia routinely ram ships from neighboring nations like the Philippines, Vietnam, Japan, and Taiwan to intimidate, threaten, and enforce its expansive “nine-dash line” claims, which overlap with the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) of multiple countries. Over the last five years, these tactics have intensified, raising alarms about regional stability and drawing condemnation from the international community. China’s strategy in the South China Sea—a vital waterway handling over $3 trillion in annual trade—relies on “gray zone” operations: actions short of war but aggressive enough to coerce compliance without triggering full-scale conflict. Ramming, water cannon assaults, and ship-blocking maneuvers allow Beijing to bully smaller nations while avoiding direct military escalation.

This approach stems from China’s rejection of a 2016 international arbitral ruling that invalidated its historical claims, leading to militarized artificial islands and a massive coast guard fleet—the world’s largest—to patrol and harass. Critics argue this makes China the ocean’s paramount bully, using superior naval power to scare sovereign states into submission, often at the expense of fishermen’s livelihoods and regional peace. The Philippines has borne the brunt of these tactics in recent years. In the October 12, 2025, incident near the Spratly Islands, Chinese vessels not only rammed but also damaged a Philippine resupply boat en route to the Sierra Madre, a grounded warship serving as a Manila outpost.

This follows a string of similar clashes. In August 2024, two Philippine coast guard ships were rammed by Chinese vessels near the Sabina Shoal, with Beijing claiming the Filipinos deliberately crashed into them—a narrative Manila dismissed as propaganda. Earlier, in June 2024, a Chinese ship collided with a Philippine supply vessel in the Spratlys, injuring Filipino sailors and prompting mutual accusations of ramming. July 2024 saw escalated confrontations, with Chinese forces ramming Philippine boats and deploying water cannons that damaged equipment and endangered crews. In April 2025, Chinese coast guard ships attempted multiple rammings against Philippine vessels, further straining bilateral ties.

These incidents have surged since 2021, with over 100 reported aggressions, including a September 2024 event where a Chinese warship rammed another Chinese vessel while pursuing a Philippine boat. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has condemned these as violations of international law, bolstering alliances with the U.S. and Australia to counter the threats. Vietnam, another claimant in the Paracel and Spratly Islands, has faced similar intimidation. In April 2020, a Chinese vessel rammed and sank a Vietnamese fishing boat near the Paracels, leaving the crew adrift until rescue—an act Hanoi decried as illegal and inhumane.

This wasn’t isolated; earlier in 2014, amid protests over a Chinese oil rig in Vietnam’s EEZ, Chinese ships rammed Vietnamese vessels over 1,400 times, using water cannons to harass and damage them. More recently, in March 2023, a Chinese coast guard ship chased a Vietnamese fisheries patrol boat out of disputed waters, escalating tensions. In October 2024, Chinese maritime safety officers boarded a Vietnamese fishing vessel and beat 10 crew members, an act of violence that drew sharp rebukes from Hanoi. Vietnam has responded by strengthening its coast guard and seeking diplomatic support, but Beijing’s tactics continue to threaten its fishing fleets and energy exploration. Japan, contesting the Senkaku Islands (Diaoyu to China) in the East China Sea, has experienced aggressive pursuits though fewer direct rammings in recent years. The most notorious incident was in 2010, when a Chinese trawler rammed two Japanese Coast Guard vessels, sparking a diplomatic crisis that led to arrests and economic retaliations from Beijing.

The Chinese wanted to ram the Philippine’s ship but hit their own

While no identical rammings have occurred since, Chinese ships have intruded into Japanese waters around the Senkakus hundreds of times annually—232 entries in 2012 alone, with ongoing incursions through 2025. In 2022, Beijing’s vessels lingered near the islands for record durations, using intimidation to challenge Tokyo’s control. Japan has bolstered defenses, but experts warn that escalating gray-zone tactics could lead to accidental collisions or worse. Taiwan, which China claims as its own, faces a barrage of maritime encroachments, though direct rammings are less documented amid broader military coercion. In recent years, Beijing has deployed massive fleets—nearly 90 ships in December 2024—to surround Taiwan, honing invasion capabilities. Gray-zone actions include coast guard incursions into Taiwan’s waters, with over 91 entries in 2011 escalating to hundreds annually.

In 2025, reports emerged of China building barges for potential amphibious assaults, amid surges of 53 aircraft and 19 ships in December 2024. While not always involving rammings, these maneuvers threaten collisions and serve to intimidate Taipei, as seen in the Fourth Taiwan Strait Crisis. These ramming incidents and aggressive tactics have profound implications. They endanger lives, disrupt fishing economies, and heighten the risk of broader conflict, potentially involving U.S. treaty allies like the Philippines and Japan. The U.S. has conducted freedom-of-navigation operations and joint exercises to deter China, but Beijing’s militarization persists. Environmental damage from collisions and island-building further exacerbates tensions. As nations like India and Australia voice concerns, the world watches warily, urging adherence to international law. Until China reins in its bullying, the oceans remain a powder keg, with ramming as its favored spark.
