Philippines in fresh China ship protest

The Philippines said on Tuesday it had filed a fresh protest against China for allegedly harassing a Manila-registered archaeological ship in the Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea, potentially prolonging a week-long maritime stand-off between the two countries.

The impasse was triggered by a Philippine navy ship’s attempt to detain eight Chinese fishing vessels for allegedly fishing illegally in Philippine waters last week. The Philippine navy vessel, the Chinese fishing boats and a Chinese maritime surveillance craft then left the shoal, easing the impasse somewhat.
