Philippine protests dismissed
Print Edition
CHINA has dismissed protests by the Philippines over a Chinese coast guard ship allegedly ramming and damaging three Philippine fishing boats in the South China Sea last week.
The Philippines protested to Beijing on Wednesday about an incident off Huangyan Island, claiming it had endangered the lives of fishermen.
Huangyan Island is an inherent part of Chinese territory and China’s coast guard ships are there to maintain order, foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei said yesterday.
Hong said that on January 29, a number of Philippine fishing boats had illegally stayed in waters off the island and the Chinese coast guard sent a small boat to “drive them away in accordance with law.” He said there was a “minor friction” with one of the boats.
