The Filipino fishermen facing off with ChinaFilipino fishermen are facing off with China’s government - off the coast of the Philippines in the South China Sea.It’s one of the most hotly contested bodies of water in the world, rich in natural resources and home to a valuable trade route.So who has sovereignty over these waters?China claims much of the sea as its own, including this stretch of water in the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone, extending 200 nautical miles from its coast.Five years ago, an international court ruling in the Hague ruled in favor of the Philippines.
