Watch: Chinese ships collide while pursuing Philippine boat

The Philippines Coast Guard reported that two Chinese vessels collided while pursuing a Philippine patrol ship in the South China Sea.

According to the Philippines Coast Guard, the Chinese vessels engaged in aggressive behaviour, including dangerous blocking manoeuvres, as they chased Philippines Coast Guard and fishing vessels near Scarborough Shoal.

Both the Philippines and China lay claim to Scarborough Shoal and other areas in the South China Sea, a region marked by ongoing territorial disputes.
