Video Description

Collision Update August 15, 2025 🚨There seemed to be a bit of an audio sync issue in the latter part of the video. Sorry!🚨 In this episode, Sal Mercogliano — a maritime historian at Campbell University (@campbelledu) and former merchant mariner — provides an update on the collision between the People's Liberation Army Navy destroyer Guilin and the Chinese Coast Guard Cutter 3104 while harassing and pursuing the Philippine Coast Guard Cutter Suluan on August 11, 2025, off Scarborough Shoal. We examine the damage to the cutter, the statement by the Chinese, and what is the underlying cause for this action, along with America's reaction. #china #philippines #scarborough #collision #southchinasea Support What's Going on With Shipping via: Patreon: www.patreon.com/wgowshipping Twitter: @mercoglianos Bluesky: @mercoglianos.bsky.social Facebook: @wgowshipping Email: [email protected] 00:00 Introduction 00:56 China Claims it is the Philippines' Fault 05:45 What is That Under the Bow of the Chinese Destroyer? 09:51 How Geopolitics Contributed to the Collision?
