The grounding date is May 9, 1999, two days after the US bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade.
欲盖弥彰
Makes one wonder if it is intentional attempt at coverup and obfuscation.
Hello bro are you the same poster in Pakistan Defense Forum? IF yes then welcome to the forum its a pleasure meeting you.
Why do you keep asking if the date is China's or the PH? Both countries have the same timezone when we're talking about HK, Guangzhou, Macau (Southern China) have the same timezone that of your country.
What's the significance and does it change the facts on the ground that it was the PH that decided to intentionally ground their ship (BRP SIERRA MADRE) in that disputed territory with China?
I have a suspicion the Philippine Gov-Military/MSM/NGOs aren't telling the truth about the date of the grounding.
