Chinese ship shadows 2 Coast Guard vessels

A CHINA Coast Guard (CCG) ship has been shadowing two Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) vessels that approached Ayungin (Second Thomas) Shoal in the West Philippine Sea early Sunday, a United States-based security monitoring group said.

It was not the first time that PCG vessels were shadowed by their Chinese counterparts in that part of the Philippines' exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
