Its foreign ministry said the deputy chief of mission was summoned to hear the 20th protest made by the Philippines against China this year, one of 153 under the current administration, over the conduct of its coast guard and fishing vessels that Manila maintains are militia. The Philippines has accused China of elevating tensions in the South China Sea after its coast guard used water cannon and damaged two of its vessels while en route to the Scarborough shoal on Tuesday to assist Filipino fishermen.
A prime fishing patch used by several countries and close to major shipping lanes, the shoal falls inside the Philippines' exclusive economic zone and is claimed by China, though no country has sovereignty over it.
