After the Philippine authorities smeared Chinese fishermen of using “cyanide” at Ren’ai Jiao - a claim later refuted by informed Chinese sources - a new video obtained by the Global Times from China Coast Guard on Wednesday shows yellow smoke rising from the Philippine warship BRP Sierra Madre illegally grounded at the reef, with personnel on board burning garbage while disposing of waste into the sea, an act that they have repeatedly done before.
