BEIJING (Reuters) – China said on Sunday it had taken “control measures” against a Philippine vessel in the South China Sea, where the two countries have had escalating confrontations over disputed waters.
China’s coast guard said in a statement the vessel had “illegally” entered waters near the Sabina Shoal and had repeatedly approached Chinese coast guard ships in a dangerous manner.
