China and Philippine ships collide in South China Sea
China and the Philippines accused each other of ramming their ships in a disputed area of the South China Sea on Saturday, the latest in an escalating series of clashes in the vital waterway.
Footage released by the Philippine coast guard showed multiple collisions between the two ships in the South China Sea.
A statement from China’s coast guard read out on state broadcaster CCTV said a Philippine ship that was illegally stranded at Sabina Shoal had lifted anchor and “deliberately rammed“ a Chinese vessel.
The Philippine coast guard said a Chinese vessel had “intentionally rammed“ one of Manila’s ships.
Beijing claims almost the entire South China Sea, including parts claimed by the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam. Portions of the waterway, where $3 trillion worth of trade passes annually, are believed to be rich in oil and natural gas deposits, as well as fish stocks.
