Description:
- Philippine sailors threw "fire bombs" and brandished knives at Chinese government vessels during a dispute over contested fishing grounds in the South China Sea, Beijing said today. Philippine media this week said local fishermen had been rammed by the Chinese coast guard while fishing off Scarborough Shoal, which China has occupied since a 2012 stand-off but which lies within the Philippines' claimed exclusive economic zone.
