The Philippines accused Beijing of employing “bullying†tactics Saturday after a speeding Chinese ship allegedly veered dangerously close to two Philippine vessels in the disputed South China Sea.
No one was hurt but “these manoeuvres by the Chinese vessel posed a danger to the Philippine vesselsâ€, foreign department spokesman Raul Hernandez said in a statement.
“Our ships did not react to the bullying,†he added.
The incident took place near the disputed Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea where Chinese fisheries vessels have been facing off against Philippine ships for weeks over which country claims the area.
