Watch: Chinese ships collide while pursuing Philippine boat

In the South China Sea, two Chinese coast guard ships collided while chasing a Philippine fishing boat. The incident occurred near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, an area that both China and the Philippines claim sovereignty over. The video footage, released by the Philippine Coast Guard, shows the two Chinese vessels maneuvering aggressively and ultimately colliding with each other. The incident reportedly occurred on June 20th, but the details have only recently been made public. The Philippine government has condemned the Chinese ships' actions, stating that they were pursuing and harassing the Philippine fishing boat. China, on the other hand, has not yet commented on the incident. The South China Sea has been a source of ongoing territorial disputes between several countries, including China, the Philippines, and others. This latest incident highlights the tense and potentially dangerous situation in the region, as countries continue to assert their claims and engage in confrontations at sea.
