Beijing, China – A Philippine ship and a Chinese vessel collided near the Spratly Islands in the disputed South China Sea on Monday, Beijing’s Coast Guard said.
On Saturday, new Chinese coast guard rules took effect under which it can detain foreigners for alleged trespassing in the disputed sea. Beijing accused the ship of having “illegally broken into the sea near Ren’ai Reef in China’s Nansha Islands”, using the Chinese name for the Spratly Islands. China has defended its new coast guard rules. A foreign ministry spokesman said last month that they were intended to “better uphold order at sea”.
