China anchors 'monster ship 'in South China Sea, Philippine coast guard says
MANILA - The Philippine Coast Guard said on Saturday that China's largest coastguard vessel has anchored in Manila's exclusive economic zone in the South China Sea, and is meant to intimidate its smaller Asian neighbour.
"It's an intimidation on the part of the China Coast Guard," Tarriela said."We're not going to pull out and we're not going to be intimidated." In May, the PCG deployed a ship to the Sabina shoal to deter small-scale reclamation by China, which denied the claim. China has carried out extensive land reclamation on some islands in the South China Sea, building air force and other military facilities, causing concern in Washington and around the region.
