I'm sure there are plenty of receptacles for such notes.

China has lost all credibility!
Fighto!
This "diplomatic note of protest" from the CCP should be treated correctly.
And filed in the trash.

J gov taking a page from the Rahm Emanuel clown school of diplomacy.

What's wrong with saying that?! It's absolutely true. Is that why China doesn't want to hear it?
mu-da
The bully state complains about lack of submission.

You can see the flagrant violations of Rules of the Sea and the basic endangerment of people by the Philippine vessel in the screen grab.
Smaller vessels are meant to yield to larger ones - that is seamanship 101.
Really irresponsible stuff and more outrageous this is within Taiwan province's 11 dash line, which is why the superior coast guard from the UN-recognized country has taken up legal station in the area, as it owns all of the above.
Fighto!
Chinese Communist Party operatives are scrambling to defend the totalitarian pariah state, and paint them as the good guys.

No you don't.
In the video, you clearly see the Chinese pirate ship hit the Philippine ship from the side.
The usual and often unacceptable behavior of China.

Smaller vessels cannot cut across the navigation paths of larger vessels for obvious reasons.
The is a basic rule of the sea any sailor learns from the get-go and is indicative of the relative amateurism of Philippine ship handling.

Lol, how can you see that from the photo? You don't know the speed and maneuverability of the two boats. The Chinese boat more likely caught up to and rammed the Philippine boat before it could avoid the collision.
As usual, the Chinese boat is the one trying to block (cut the navigation path, as you say) the Philippine one from resupplying. The Philippine boat just wants to go around it.

Lol, how can the Japanese ambassador see that from the photo? Blah, blah, blah
Any publicly available evidence is inconclusive and easily manipulated to tell whatever story one wants to push, yet the J Ambassador feels the need to open his pie hole.
fallaffel
Yes, but anyone who thinks about it will realize which country's boat is trying to block the other one.
The Philippines hasn't tried to block any Chinese boats, even though the Philippines claims the area. Taiwan and other countries with overlapping claims also follow this good example, right? Why doesn't the Chinese government do the same?

China has a history of using grey zone tactics to harrass other nation's.
If China complains with "irresponsible remarks" and "ignorance of the facts and contained unwarranted accusations against China", it;s guararnteed that China is the aggressor and in the wrong.

Au unending Chinese charade. The only thing this communication to Japan gets is a laugh. Chinese diplomat playing the fool once again, as are those in support of Chinese piracy and illegal claims.
Let us know if they ever have anything serious to say.

Nobody cares

As usual, the wumaos cannot explain whether the PRC is an independent country and whether the China Coast Guard answers to Taiwan.
TaiwanIsNotChina
And no one can explain why China trash is always in the path of Philippine ships despite the latter's best efforts.
JJE
Nope - said plain Taiwan is a province of UN-recognized mainland China. And as such, the provincial Taipei coast guard is a subordinate branch of the overall Chinese Coast Guard. And Taipei's 11-dash line in now Beijing's 9-dash line. Beijing runs the show and not the other way around - hope that's clear.

Post WW2 the Republic of China represented all of China as a permanent member of the Security Council. That seat was given to the People's Republic of China in 1971 to also represent all of China.
What, you mistakenly thought that the Republic of China was only representing the island of Taiwan when it was a member of the UN Security Council? That strikes me as pretty silly to be honest.
TaiwanIsNotChina
Keep running with that line: they're not laughing with you.
So Peking is responsible for any warmongering, got it.
fallaffel
Not clear at all. Why does it matter what Taiwan claims if you believe it's only a province of China? By acknowledging Taiwan has its own claim you acknowledge it has the independence to make one. Or you are acknowledging that China (like Russia) can't control its own provinces. Both are about the same, I guess.
