China, which claims historical rights over most of the areas in the South China Sea, amended its Maritime Traffic Safety Law in recent months. It took effect on September 1. It covers five types of vessels including submersibles, nuclear vessels, ships carrying radioactive materials, ships carrying bulk oil, chemicals, liquefied gas and other toxic and harmful substances, and other vessels “that might endanger China’s maritime traffic safety”,
Philippine Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana has promised that it will ignore China’s amended maritime law, which now requires foreign vessels sailing in the South China Sea to report their information to Chinese authorities.
Lorenzana said it is time for a comprehensive review of Manila’s alliance with the US and there is a need to “upgrade” and “update” the alliance .
