Chinese and Philippine coast guard boats collide in South China Sea

The Philippines and China have accused each other of dangerous provocation after a collision between two coast guard vessels in disputed waters of the South China Sea.

The ramming incident, which happened near the Sabina Shoal in the early hours of Monday, is the latest flare-up in a months-long stand-off between the nations over contested areas of one of the world’s most critical waterways.

Beijing launched the first salvo in the blame game, publishing grainy footage of the maritime crash and accusing the Philippine vessel of ignoring repeated warnings before it “deliberately collided” with the Chinese ship in an “unprofessional and dangerous” manner.
