To stop Atin Ito convoy headed to Bajo de Masinloc

(UPDATE) CHINA is sending the biggest blockading force ever to Bajo de Masinloc (Scarborough Shoal) in anticipation of the arrival of the Atin Ito civilian convoy on May 14.

At least four China Coast Guard (CCG) ships and 26 large Chinese maritime vessels will be in the blockade by the time the civilian convoy of about 100 fishing boats from Zambales arrives in the area, said retired US Air Force colonel Ray Powell, director of SeaLight, a transparency project that monitors and reports activities in the South China Sea.
