Beijing - Four Chinese fishing vessels were boarded by the Philippines navy in the latest row between the two neighbours over control of a South China Sea fishing zone, reports Miriam Donohoe, Asia Correspondent
Filipino navy ships and aircraft shadowed the Chinese boats for two weeks before eventually boarding the vessels after the crew refused to leave the Scarborough Shoal. The Scarborough Shoal, 135 nautical miles north-west of Manila, is claimed by both countries.
